Be Fair to Your Self

Do you realize whenever you over give or under give, you are being unfair to you? Do you realize that cheating yourself out of what is rightfully yours is unfair to others? Do you know that when you deceive yourself into thinking you deserve more, your are being unfair? Do you understand that when you give yourself what is highest and best, you will do the same for others?

You see, what you do for you, you teach others to do for you. What you do for you, you teach others to do for themselves. What you do for you, you teach others to do for others. So when we lie, cheat or steal from ourselves, we teach lying and cheating and stealing.

If this sounds too strong, realize that your example sets the tone for all your relationships. Your life balance describes to others what you may expect of them. Your conscientious relationship with fairness is your guideline for how and what you share. Your desire to give to yourself what is fair will lead you to a happy and fulfilled life.

Over giving can lead others to feel guilty. When they feel guilty, they may stay away. Over giving can lead others to feel inadequate. When they feel inadequate, they may pull back. Under giving can lead others to feel cheated. When they feel cheated, they may try to get it all back. Under giving can teach others to be careful with you. Giving too much or too little, can lead others to be confused about their relationship with you. They may feel resentful or cautious.

When we give fairly with no sacrifice or martyrdom, there is no comparison or measuring. When we give fairly to ourselves and others, we seek nothing in return for we have given to ourselves. When we give fairly to ourselves, we are happy and at peace with the giving. When we give fairly to ourselves, we receive the blessing of the gifts we have given.

Love is freedom …freedom to give and to live. Love is trust……trust that each one of us is learning and growing, healing and helping the best we know.

Life is for giving and YOU are the Gift! It is in giving that you realize the REAL GIFT You Are!

Loving you, Betty Lue
