“If something’s really selfless, then there’s really no value in it for you... there’s only value in it for the world.”
– Jeff Baena

“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.”
– Maya Angelou


When the things that we thought would go just fine spiral out of track and become a series of misfortunes, life turns into a living nightmare.

When your love vanishes like the morning dew; when your best friend becomes withdrawn from you, and you’ve no clue why; when the people
surrounding you fail to understand you, and criticize every single thing that you say or do; when you thought and believed yourself to be special for someone, but, they treat you like ordinary; when you try to do good at your job, and your mind questions if that’s what you truly desire to do; when you are sick and have no one around to even ask off your wellbeing; when every single step you take to make yourself breathe easier result fruitless; when you’re poor and have so much to achieve; when you are talented but, time had never been on your side; when you cry oceans at night and only your pillow knows about it; when you want to shout out loud, but you can’t; when you want to be indifferent to the surroundings but, you care; when you are good at heart but, the world isn’t fair…

If you can relate yourself to the above thoughts, then remember one things about you, ‘You are a Giver!’ Yes! You are a giver; you give a lot to this world and its people. You’re selfless. You are like God. You are bad at
living for yourself, but, you excel at giving joy to everyone around you.


Although you give so much, your deeds are seldom appreciated or even noticed, for that matter

Although you give so much, your deeds are seldom appreciated or even noticed, for that matter.

You don’t even get appreciated by the ones who are dear to you.

They need not reciprocate your love and affection, at least, they could acknowledge it.
You cannot afford to breakdown even once in a while, as there will be no one to realize that and help you up. Your mind asks a thousand questions as to why things are not as anticipated, when you deserve better things from life.

Your entire belief system goes for a toss. You lose trust and hope.

You start to believe that the life that you’ve been provided with is a futile chance of survival.

You’ve tried so hard yet, nothing seems to have changed; the world is still the same and the people are the same.


You tend to be hurt by a lot of things even when it doesn’t primarily concern you

You tend to be hurt by a lot of things even when it doesn’t primarily concern you. You are empathetic and observant.
This is the world you are born in. you cannot escape reality all the time. It is as sharp as a knife.
So, what can you keep as your last resort, to keep yourself afloat in this cyclonic world?
Be a relentless giver! Never stop being lovable and kind.

Why? It is the only way that is easier for you to peacefully. It is the simple way to answer all unanswered questions.

Dedicate yourself for others, with a conscious effort to not lose yourself in the process.
Don’t expect things to return to you the way you expect them to be. You know it never worked for you like that. Stop expecting! Treat everything and everyone as yours.

Take on every situation with a carefree attitude; it is alright for you to be like that. You don’t own all the problems on earth; realize that you are a human and an imperfect one at that.

Take one step at a time. No need to rush or plunge into something.
Even when you give and you give, all goes in vain, don’t get discouraged, continue giving. Sure enough, you’ll realize your value. How big you are!

You’ll not feel over smaller issues, smaller people and smaller situations.

You are bigger than them all.
