This is a difficult subject for me, since I feel like I have been giving everything in my life and not getting much from the universe.
I'm sure it has a lot to do with being raised by a mother who wasn't ever really satisfied with how much the universe gave her. She was always such a giving person, but usually to people that she shouldn't have been so giving to. It wasn't any wonder that she was always being taken advantage of.
I have definitely followed in her footsteps, so I shouldn't be that surprised either that I have had the same thing happen to me. I am trying to make sure that I only give to the people who are really worthy now.
Thanks Randy. Yes, not a lot of people understand how the universe works, some understand but ignore the universe and some people work against the universe, because they work from the ego and that answers for them.
I think you're right to give to those who deserve your time and are worthy of what you have to give them. I want to imagine a world where we all work to the tune of the universe, instead of the tune to themselves.
