Don't Be a Selfish Person
I truly believe being a selfish person only brings bad things into your life. I wonder sometimes what makes a child grow up to be a selfish person? Was it the way they were brought up? In my case I became just the opposite, an unselfish person. Not by the example of my parents but by vowing never to be like them. It seemed like all they really cared about was their money. Who can really say what causes it. I do know that selfishness is not permanent and it can be reversed.
It is the best feeling when you give to another person, whether it be a loved one or a complete stranger. Its a wonderful feeling of joy, freedom and a sense of fulfillment. Think about it. Knowing what you just did for another person might change that person's life forever and in a such a positive way that they will be always grateful. This feeling is extremely contagious and it makes you want to do it over and over again. Another great aspect of this is that your act of unselfishness will affect that person so much that they will feel inclined to do the same to someone else. Kind acts would branch out from just your one act. Just think about it.
So make it a goal of yours to help someone in need. Someone less fortunate than yourself. Don't be shy. The most important thing to remember is to NEVER ever expect anything in return. Just do it. You'll be glad you did.

- Giving and sharing of the heart with many is a wonderful thing to do. Your connection with self though is more important above all. Humans have a tendency to wish great things for others and to provide things to others, but in the process they abandon self, they abandon love of self and for this we are saddened.
The connection to you and your heart is foremost. After this is made then others can see you, feel you, connect to you and what your spirit truly wishes to share.
Carrie, you have so much light in you to share with others. By connecting deeper with you, loving you, knowing you, you will enjoy a connection to others far beyond that which you have now, in this lifetime and many to come.
You are special, we see this, we appreciate this and we dance with joy over your touching the hearts of many as you walk this path in this life being who and where you are. We love you dearly and we look forward to more connecting.
Michael

- Hi Carrie, Great lens with an excellent message, thanks for sharing. This is actually one of the laws of wealth: lose yourself in service and the universe, or God, will bring prosperity to you. I've written a lens on prosperity and the bible, you can view it on my Bio page if you'd like.

- Give of your self, selflessly, but remember not to judge the person you are giving to. It is not up to us to decide whether or not they are worthy of our gift. One great lesson is to remember that what you give, you recieve in return. One must not give to get, but remember that we are also capable of giving negatively. One unkind thought is instantly recieved also. Giving of ourselves is being aware of our own thoughts whether it be negative or positive. We are all One Being.

- I totally agree with Carrie - I have been a giver all my life. My sister, Linda, taught me another truth of giving. You MUST allow others to give to you too; so that they can also have the blessings of giving. My obstacle in life was in giving too much and becoming a victim because of it. "Takers" assume giving is a weakness and are happy to benefit from it. Learning to limit my giving and being aware of signs of a "taker" has been a lifelong quest for me. I WILL be a giver without being a victim. There has to be a balance there for me.
