Giving
“Life to me is ‘giving’ and ‘taking’, a fulfilling one is more ‘giving’ than ‘taking’ ”
Friends have been asking me what are your goals for the new year.
We all think of goals which tend to be specific - essentially about ‘what’ we want to achieve.
Rather than ‘what’ to achieve, I started thinking about how - ‘how’ to do things this year, what will guide my thoughts, behaviour and actions this year.
I started to connect it with my response whenever I have been asked these questions in the past months - ‘what are you upto?’, ‘what do you want to achieve?’ ..
My answer from deep within used to be - ‘I want to give’. ‘just give’, ‘Not take’. ‘Give’ with no genuine expectation of taking back. Giving always makes me calmer. I somehow feel empowered. I feel enriched. I feel fulfilled.
