A philosophy of success I have learnt over time is that “Givers always feel full and sufficient and blessed with abundance while takers live in constant scarcity, never filled no matter how much they have” .I have tried this principle and I have found it to be true. I believe so much in giving out of what I have than taking. When you look back at who you are can you say you are a giver or a taker? Which of these two categories do you fall into?

I was a giver to a fault, I had to learn to balance it by keeping some for me. I still don't take, I'm not comfortable with it and I suppose I never will be.

When I was single and working, I am strongly a giver, I always find myself sharing my blessing to my family,friends and relatives. and I really love it, unexpectedly by the time I will give, I am also receiving a lot! I remember several time, when I distribute the clothes which I didn't like to wear anymore to my relatives and friends by the following month, my aunt sent me more that what I had given. It is funny..This time that I am not working, I can say I am still a giver but all intangible/abstract like love,care, etc..

I have always been the type of person to give to others every chance that I got to do so. I never get it back in return though, so I changed it up a little bit. I do still give to people but I make it in moderation because I got so tired of being used or people just wanting more and more from me and then they would leave me cold turkey. I do still give but I never expect any acknowledgement from them because they never give it to me anyway.

I would say I have been a taker untill very recently. My Teachers at the very Accredited School iwhich I attend , have taught me , that there is more to life , than simply taking whether it is physically , emotionally , or psycologically. It is Far more full-filling to Be loved By Your Fellow Man / God then it is to have a wealth of physical riches! Money....can not Buy you Love. Give love , unconditionally and it shall return to you 3 -fold. God -Blee and.......G'Day! Constantine!
