Expectation

Tweet

since receiving and giving are so intimately entangled in our life, we often expect that we can attract abundance by simply conducting ourselves in an openhanded fashion. Yet we find ourselves sulking in disappointmentwhen our generosity is not met with the expected results.The answer to this quandary lies in the expectations that, in part, prompted us to give. though our intention is likely pure, we can unintentionally mar the beautiful experience of giving by focusing on what we will eventually receive in return. When we let go the notion that we deserve to receive gifts, bounty can once again flow in and out of our life. Giving eventually becomes profound joy that stands alone, separate from any and all conditions, and we will learn to appreciate the flow of reciprocal abundance as a gift in and of itself.
