Levels of Giving that Fill The Love Bucket

3 Levels of Giving that Fill The Love Bucket

"It is not what you give, but the spirit (your intention) in which you give that counts." ~ @Sherrie Rose http://twitter.com/sherrierose

There are different levels or ways of giving.

This is not just in your intimate relationships, but with friends, in your community, in your business and professional life, and in your charitable contributions. These fill the personal and the life “love bucket.”

1. Tit for Tat (As my Dad liked to say). I give to you so you give back to me.
   The intention here is that there is an exchange and I am doing this for my own benefit. It is not anonymous because to get the RETURN “something” whether it is physical or material, whether it is a kind word or compliment, whether is it to add to your ego or self-aggrandizement; it is giving with a catch. There is the requirement, whether direct or indirect for reciprocation. The key here is INTENTION. Do you pre-mediate the outcome and the desire for a return something as in the quid pro quo: "something for something"?
2. The Spirit of Love In The Form of Charity. Giving from the heart (see more here: http://fyera.com) to expand the heart.. This is giving out of pure love. The etymology of the word "charity" comes from through the Old French word "charité" which was derived from the Latin "caritas". "Caritas" or love also looks like the root of the word CARE.  Caring for another by giving charity. This act of giving charity is selfless. It is true that we are often reminded that we can benefit with a tax-deductible donation when we give charity. If the tax-deduction is the intention, then is more like the first level, Tit for Tat/Quid pro quo. If the intent in mind is to add to the sum total of love in the world by helping another, then it is real charity. In modern usage, per Wikipedia, charity definition: the practice of charity means the giving of help to those in need who are not related to the giver. This would be filling the love bucket of a complete stranger.  Spiritual and Religious wisdom from many walks of life are part of the Love Bucket LIFESTYLE RING OF DESIRE.
3. Giving It All. The ultimate generosity of spirit.  It is mutual sharing. There is no separation between giver and receiver. You offer up your whole of yourself, and in return life makes you more whole.  This is really filling the love bucket. The love bucket expands to receive more love and in turn you have more love to share. A real miracle. Knowing the great power of the universe, the infinite intelligence, the creator, God, is behind every action, thought, word and deed, the cycles always returns to the source. So, there is no need to make giving be about the WIIFM “What’s In It For Me” attitude. Feel that everything your have is borrowed including your brains and therefore giving is easy. You know that there are infinite resources in universe and massive abundance. IT is all about sharing. This is all part of the circuit of transformation that can occur with sharing.

When the spirit of life really sinks in, and we realize the incredible gift we’ve received, the only possible act of appreciation is to give back with equal generosity. It is all about sharing.

In other words, sharing should be twenty-four hours a day. At the level of spirit you can share and give of yourself completely. We are all evolving toward as we learn and develop ourselves

When we love we give. When we make love we fill the love bucket. The more love we make the more peace in the world. When you share, respect, revere life, violence disappears. We are all connected to one another, and by magic, every gift you give becomes a gift to yourself.

Napoleon Hill said, “Action is the real measure of intelligence.”  Act now by giving and sharing.

Share today. Fill the love bucket.
