This short talk highlights the profound relationship between giving and receiving, emphasizing how the act of giving to others can often return to us the very thing we are trying to share. Whether it’s love, kindness, understanding, or abundance, the process of giving creates a flow that enriches both the giver and the receiver. Through this exchange, we cultivate a deeper sense of connection, purpose, and fulfilment, reminding ourselves that giving is not just an act of generosity but a pathway to receiving the same blessings we offer to the world.

Transcript

Giving and receiving is a relationship.

What you give freely to others,

You receive for yourself.

When I clean someone else's house,

I give myself a clean house.

When I do someone else's dishes,

I give myself a clean kitchen.

When I try to give my kids structure and a good life.

Time management,

Organisation,

Time in nature,

Health,

Community,

Longevity of place.

I get these things for myself.

When I love my family,

I'm bathed in love and family harmony.

When I teach or help someone learn,

I learn the stuff better than ever for myself.

When I help someone else follow their calling,

I have more ways to follow my own.

When I want wealth,

I need to help someone else grow and prosper.

Giving and receiving is a relationship.

What you give freely to others,

You receive for yourself.

The things that you get in the habit of giving freely,

You will figure out a way to give that freely to yourself as well.

So there will be this sense that there's not enough until you start giving it away.
