While growing up, one phrase that was always stuck to my mind is the phrase Living is giving. Almost every spiritual leader, success guru and people in positions of influence agrees that giving is an essential part of life. But why is that? Many people have heard of the phrase living is giving, but I wonder how many of them actually have a complete understanding of the significance of giving in the lives of human beings.

The problem is largely due to our understanding of giving. For those who contribute and give on a regular basis, they will know what giving truly means. However for those who dont have this habit, they would have developed a distorted and generalized perspective on giving.

The way the world and society generally views giving causes misunderstandings on many levels. It is the general belief that giving only means to try to be being helpful, sympathize with others and being the good guy.

People view giving as a way to ‘get into’ heaven, to collect good karma, to be rewarded something in return in the future etc. Not to say that any of this isnt true at all, but these are just very small parts of giving.

Because of such a narrow perception on the act of giving, the focus is entirely on what is being given out. It encourages the assumption that the giver only loses something and does not gain anything in return at all.

However, this is not true at all. When you give, when you contribute, you are already getting something back in return. The feelings of contribution, significance and positivity that you get from giving is just priceless. That is just how we human beings are wired.

In addition, giving also puts you in a frame of mind that you are already abundant. How does it work? Think about it, when can a person give? Only when he or she has got something to give. If you have nothing to give, you cant give. Thats the only logic. When you give, it can only mean that you already have something.

What this means is that every time you give, every time that you indulge in the act of giving, you are telling your conscious and subconscious mind that you are abundant. This, over time develops the belief within you that you are abundant. The more you do it, the stronger the belief becomes. What happens next is that through this belief of self abundance you will naturally attract more actual abundance into your life.
