Is Their Kind Gesture Selfless Love?

I’m sure you know some wonderful people who just seem to do or say the right thing at the right time. It really makes you feel good to have friends who go out of their way to bring you some chicken noodle soup when they hear you’re not feeling well. Those friends are like jewels!

I love doing charity work. It makes my heart feel good to just give without wanting anything in return. It is always a great feeling to be able to do something good for another person. It makes me feel like I’m fulfilling my purpose in life to help others in any way I can.

It could be a kind word, or giving them some insight or answers to a question that can set them on the right path in life, or even knitting a scarf for children who don’t have anything warm to wear because their parents can’t afford it. It gives me a sense of happiness that you just can’t get any other way. It makes you feel connected to the source of all that is good and right in this world.

But I have also known people who do things just to get something in return. They will always remind you of this great deed they did just to get something from you. Or they will make you feel guilty for something they did for you. That is not a real friend.

I have also known people who will do things to get a free psychic reading, not realising how much time, energy and dedication it takes to do meaningful psychic work. There are times when I work too much and actually get sick from it. It drains me so much that I have to take a few days or even weeks off.

People who know what I do, who are family and friends and not clients, I will sometimes do a reading for them or give them a heads up. I don’t ever expect anything in return. I do this because I have an emotional connection with these people and I don’t want them to waste their time and energy if they don’t need to.

Sometimes I also make a psychic connection with relatives who live far away. If I see that there is stress or problems in their lives, I will pray for them. But I’ll never tell them, because for me it’s just the right thing to do.

It saddens me that there are people who do things for one reason only: to get something from it. This is not unconditional love.

Some of my friends and clients feel they have to please other people until they are sick … literally sick! If you have people in your life who you constantly have to please, it can be detrimental to your well-being. I suggest you distance yourself from them. You don’t need the guilt and the unfair responsibility. Set some boundaries and learn to say no.

Its amazing what you can accomplish when you don’t care who gets the credit ~ Harry Truman

Always take care of yourself first and then do what you can for others. But don’t be bullied or made to feel like you owe someone for something they did for you. This is not friendship or love. Period.

Love is selfless and patient and peaceful and loyal. True love flows and does not make you feel like you have to work at it. Unconditional love just is, and it’s a wonderfully rare thing. If you’re blessed to know some selfless, kind people, appreciate them more. Show them gratitude, for you are blessed.
