Giving Improves Self-Worth
The second Noble Truth in Buddhist teaches that the
inability to be content with what we have or who we are comes when our minds
are filled with greed or desire. Suffering of all types automatically follows.
This attitude of selfishness and greediness is the primary cause of dissatisfaction
in life, eventually robbing us of our peace of mind.
I think of this truth often as I pursue life and pursue it
more abundantly. What exactly is prosperity in my life if it expresses as
anxiety? When something stymies my joy, I automatically refer to the ancient
Buddhist idea that all in the human path is suffering. To be released from
suffering, I must liberate myself from Self-ishness or the Ego’s insufferable
need to have more, be more, eat more and covet more.
In the process of releasing the ego, I recognize that it is
in the giving to the world that true happiness comes. I made a pact with Spirit
long ago that as I am a giver to life and of my abundance, I will be taken care
of according to the riches of God in heaven. As I have believed completely in
this prayer, I have never been remiss of the money or the food or the clothes
or the dwelling I would need to live a completely comfortable life.
A vast difference comes between creating and working for
money and creating and working from a deep place in the soul that wants to be a
conduit for good. The exact amount of money, business, people, clients,
friends, and love comes to your life automatically because of understanding
this one Noble Truth: It is not with taking we find joy, but with giving from
the human condition as a funnel for God’s good, that we experience peace beyond
all understanding.
If you have found that your life is void of love, joy,
prosperity, or peace; you need not worry any longer. One simple solution to all
of the above is giving of your self. When you do this, every part of your being
feels peace and joy. With this, you develop a sense of purpose to life. With
purpose automatically comes self worth.
