I’ve often found myself quoting The Courage to Be Disliked. That book has left a huge impact on me, and its lessons resonate deeply with my everyday experiences. One of its ideas that came up today was this, “you feel content only when you’re useful to someone”.
For a long time, I believed that giving often drains the giver. But now, I see it differently. it’s less about being drained and more about being filled. When you give from a place of fullness, that sense of fulfillment doesn’t fade or deplete. Instead, it grows and flows forward.
Maybe, giving is a cycle. The more you fill others, the more you’re filled in return. It doesn’t end tho! it’s an ongoing process. At its core, giving brings happiness, not just to the receiver but also to the giver.
Problems arise when the giver expects something in return. Just give and keep giving! Anyway, you’ll be filled by other cups along the way.
So, how do I give? I get filled by the kindness of a few good people, and sometimes, I pass that kindness on.
Is giving selfish? Absolutely! Because it leaves you feeling content in the end.
Cheers
