The power of Giving.

[Nobert]

Giving is not a slot machine

One guy once quoted mother Teresa , that during the last days of her life, she regretted her time spend in life, while giving. Don't know how true that story is, but, i think, the giving should be more like an investment. Right person, - right time. Might be homeless, might be rich, but it has to be a strategic move. Like, a quick example, - there's this homeless lady, in my hometown and she's always in the same spot. Yes, few years ago, used to buy her some food etc, but, -
nothing changes. Shes always there. That brick wall, like a comfort zone.
It's a waste of time and resources, trying to help those, who don't want to help themselves.

Doesn't the true sense of giving mean it should be a voluntary and unconditional act without receiving any value in return, except knowing it to be the right thing to do?

I believe you are correct. But we have no control over cause and affect,
or spiritual laws that may be executed through our giving.

Some dude named Jesus believed it's veritably impossible to give without
something given in return.

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again" Luke chapter 6, verse 38

Good points
THAT's not helpful, trying to help one that will not help themselves As Dave Ramsey says ''dont give a drunk a drink.'' One guy told me the best thing to say to a bum that doesnt want to work but begs for money ''hey buddy you work the other side of the street, i' ll work this side. Back to workin' my trade notebook......................................................................................

I believe you are correct. But we have no control over cause and affect

I can see how your sentiment is correct but I'd suggest that is totally untrue to anyone who cares to give it 2nd thought. In the context of your OP, an affect can be caused by persuation, manipulation, coercion, intimidation, threat and so on.

or spiritual laws that may be executed through our giving.

I understand what natural law is, but as for spiritual law... it always looks like an emotive response.

Some dude named Jesus believed it's veritably impossible to give without
something given in return.

Indeed, but doesn't mean some Jesus dude was right. After all the Jesus dude is renowned for broken promises and offering rewards along with threats.

I think it boils down to first principles. When giving is good, it's right and best, is it not, to give for it's own sake.

THAT;
+ LORD of Angel Armies will open the windows of heaven + pour out a blessing, for that kind of giving.
Malachi chapter 3

Yesterday I turned 58 years old. I'd like to share what
I believe is one of the most effective systems for
future success in health, wealth and relationships.

It does not take a mensa level IQ to profit in the trading business.
If it did, I'd definitely still be driving a truck for a living.

The system I'd like to share is not a super mathematical formula
nor any form of trading methodology. I realize this may
come across as just another person's anecdotal. Before
you put up your BS meter, I hope you may test this for yourself.

Some may understand this as karma, law of attraction,
turning a vision into reality, or fill in the blank of your
most cherished new age method.

If you require scientific proof, just study Walter Russel's
work. Mr Russell was the best friend of Tesla. His work
is called Universal Law, Natural Science & Living Philosophy.
Mr Russell wrote many books, but if you only read the one
posted, you'll understand all the rest.

Mr Russell proves scientifically the religious
teachings about sowing and reaping.

In a nutshell this is it...

If you want something, you just need to give something
in exchange. Let's take as an example, you desire a
better trading system to earn greater wealth.

What are you willing to give?

Just start giving..helping others, giving to charities,
or even helping a friend or family member.
Maybe start giving away information you believe
may be of value to others.

The only condition, is your giving should be
something the other person, or
group finds of value.

You don't even need to write some huge
Goal/aspiration on a vision board. Your intention
or what you have faith for, is already known

All you have to do, is start giving.

From my experience and perspective this
holistic approach is very effective. After being
single for 22 years, I started to use this principle.
I believe it was this principle that led me to my fiancee.

We were married February 14th 2018.
I started to use this principle more readily, and at
this present date, I can say it definitely works.

It was my study of Walter Russell's work that gave
me the confidence. My extensive study of the Bible
and religious material only left me with more questions
than answers. Test it for yourself.

To your trading success.

I agree that what you attract in life, is a result of what you have sown. If you sow good seeds, you will get a good harvest of the fruits of your labor.

I was thinking about that yesterday.
FOR a farmer [commercial operator] sowing + harvest/are 95% -99%the same as planting [sowing] + selling. I've done all that.
I have more books on business than the farming books\ i enjoy. But i also still enjoy Successful Farming Maga zine.....
I remember that magazine[Successful Farming/ i read that as kid/my banker dad liked that + NRA 's magazine also.
I also remember my banker dad told me he told his banker friends not to foreclose on that farmer that let us gamebird hunt on his farm..............................................................

It's a waste of time and resources, trying to help those, who don't want to help themselves.

Interesting point you make.
Was listening to an audiobook of Ian Fleming's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, James Bond Series.
Several hours in Big Jim is bouncing the blankets with a woman who could drive as fast as he could.
Evening session aftermath - all good. Morning session aftermath - total bieatch.
Big Jim's inclination is to tell her to , but he stops for a moment to consider that the woman is in a bad mental way.
He says as much in a very polite way and invites her to get some help - and gets told to shove off, lol. You can lead a horse to water...
She of course resurfaces later in the story and events conspire in such a way that what Big Jim had suggested for her troubled mind came to pass.
The matter of timing can make a lot of difference when one tries to "help" another.
Haven't finished the story yet but Big Jim freakin' proposed marriage and she accepted.
I'm no shakeyspear but something tells me that Ms Speedracer is dare I say, doomed?
We shall see. Oh, yeah, she's the daughter of the villian, so, there's that too.
