Give and it shall come back to you a million fold.

“You cannot give what you do not have.” this is the common phrase that you might have heard from the people around you. Maybe, you haven’t grasped the true meaning of its phrase before but you can sense that it is somehow true. There’s a truth in that statement because truly enough you cannot really give what you do not have. Whatever blessings that you receive daily, you are able to share it with other people because your container of blessings is already full. And being a generous person you are much willing to give it to others.

As a person who has been blessed with material things it has been my practice to donate whatever I have to the poor. May it be an old stuff or new things that i have just bought i always make sure that i can share it to the ones in need. Ever since when i was a kid my parents taught me on how to be grateful on whatever blessings that i have. They have opened my mind to the reality of this world and helped me understand the deepest need of every human being. There are so many problems in this world and people are desperate of any help but only few people have the hearts of giving.

Every one of us has different struggles in life and we do have different predicament but we only have one cry and that is to solve the dilemma that we are facing everyday. For some people they are lucky enough as they have been born and raised to a family that is already rich. They don’t need to exert much effort in surviving in life as their fore parents have done this for them. Since childhood their parents and grand parents are already affluent and they are now the heirs of the said wealth. Well, lucky for them cause they were born with golden spoon and platter. But that is just the small percentage of people in the world as majority of the population is precariously poor. Yes, it is true that there are selected elite who have been living a luxurious life and they are enjoying the life that they have but we cannot abnegate the fact that there is a huge number of people who are poor and uncivilized and even some are not able to go to school due to financial problems.

Despite of this fact, we can still do something to alleviate the economic status of our country and to the people in the world. By doing a little good, this would definitely make some impacts on the people involved. We can share a little food or even old clothes that we no longer use. In that sense, we can help those poor people who don’t have extra budget to buy clothes for their family. You don’t have to be a philanthropist to help these poor people cause even a single penny would definitely make an impact on their lives.

Now let me remind you that if we truly love the people around us and if we really wanna make an impact to this world, we have to do our part as a responsible individual and someone who has a generous heart. We change lives by providing an immediate relief so that people may also feel the blessing that we experience.

There are so many reasons why we have to give and share what we have and these are the following:

1. Giving will make us joyful- every time we give a part in us is being fulfilled. We feel satisfied and grateful for the the blessings that we received and also for the opportunity that we share this to others.

2. Giving is good for our mental health- when we give it cause positive reactions within our body and in involves the participation of our hormones that would somehow affect our mental health in a good way.

3. Giving evokes gratitude- it promotes gratitude to someone receiving the gifts and also to someone giving the gifts. We become more thankful to God for the over flowing blessings and also for the person we give for the rare opportunity that we have in flourishing this skill.

4. Giving is contagious- one we activate the act of giving the people observing around us can’t help but to share as well what they have. They become more kind and generous when they see people around them are generous as well.
