The MORE You Take, The LESS You Have
Many of us will remember our childhood days WHEN we were taught to be thrifty and save save save in our piggy bank? Until we became so over-protective of our piggy bank to a point WHERE, if we had siblings or other relatives in the same home, we [unconsciously] started to develop that NOT so good mindset of being over-protective of our piggy bank to a point WHERE we became suspicious in case someone else is dipping his hands into your piggy bank. BUT today, what do we know? The MORE You Take, The LESS You Haveπππ
NOT in bad faith, you would develop that greediness till you yourself will feel it disgusting to a point you will end up embarrassed. WHAT do we learn from this? THAT it DOESN'T have to be something you take entirely BUT instead, it is the intention that you DON'T want to give to other people that actually leads you to become LESS. Years back, I learned this WHEN I heard well known philanthropists forking out monies left and rightπ₯π₯π₯
Simply put, WHEN you try to get MORE out of life to satisfy your wishes, wants and unsatiable desires, BUT later on, you will tend to lose sight of WHAT TRULY MATTERS. And likely, you might even lose yourself in the process, losing that 'REAL YOU'. In the end, instead of being happy, you end up longing and wishing that you should have focused on the more important things around you and NOT to grab everything that comes your wayπππ
I learned this WHEN I witnessed countless well-meaning people NOT only shelling out resources BUT spending their time and exerting efforts to help others. And with technology in our very own finger tips, we have seen many SMEs and experts willfully sharing their expertise, and that's for the entire world. Then I realized and learned that they DIDN'T become poorer OR less than before after receiving those 'values' π¦π¦π¦
Our takeaway: To this day, I firmly believe that WHEN we give something, I did NEVER become less. I can attest to how one feels when the past months, we cleared our condominium unit of all the appliances and furniture, giving them all, lock, stock and barrel to our trusted handyman [in exchange for nothing, nada, nichts]. WHAT did I get in return? A LOT, as in A LOT. I feel more grateful for sharing my blessings. I feel more accomplished for uplifting someone's plight. I feel many notches a much better person than I used to beπππ
