  • What are we going to get out of life? This can understandably be a question of fundamental importance to us. We begin with certain basic needs and desires. It is important to have a comfortable home, plenty of food, a meaningful and well-paying job, comfort, companionship, and joy. However, many of us have not fully realized a simple, basic principle: for our receiving to take place, we must first give. Giving and receiving are two aspects of the same law of life.

  • The intention behind our giving and receiving is the most important thing. When the act of giving is joyful, when it is unconditional and from the heart, then the energy behind the giving increases many times over. But if we give grudgingly, there is no energy behind that giving. If we feel we have lost something through the act of giving, then the gift is not truly given and will not cause increase.

  • Giving and receiving love is vital to human existence. It is the glue that binds couples, families, communities, cultures, and nations.

  • The concerted effort to minimize Christmas has resulted in it being our national Happy Holiday holiday. The Christmas season is now the holiday season. Christmas parties are now holiday parties.

  • I was always big on laughs, giving and receiving. It wasn't necessarily good for my teachers. Of course there's times where you go too far. My mom had to tell me, "Boy, if I have to come down to this school one more time, you're gonna get it."

    Quoted in Joseph P. Lash, Eleanor: The Years Alone (1972)

  • No matter where you go, no matter how many gifts you give and receive this holiday season, unless you are actually present, it all flies by as if in a dream. Satisfaction in anything--a meal, an interaction, a gift, a sunset--depends on your willingness to take it in. Breathe. Feel your arms and your legs. You are allowed to love every little thing about yourself and your life. You are allowed to take up space and be all that you are. Really you are.

  • When you have your heart broken wide, you are also open to things of beauty as well as things of sadness. Once people are not here physically, the spiritual remains, we still connect, we can communicate, we can give and receive love and forgiveness. There is love after someone dies.

    "Sandra Cisneros writes fable for grieving grown-ups". Interview with Cindy Y. Rodriguez, www.cnn.com. October 23, 2012.
  • Two people can only live as one when each is prepared to give and receive trust and understanding. Above that lies respect. Without respect for how the other feels, no marriage is worthwhile.

  • But in the morning Lust is always furtive. It dresses as mechanically as it undressed and heads straight for the door, to return to its own solitude. Like all the sins, it also makes us solitary. It is self-abdication at the very core of one's own being, a surrender of our need and ability to give and receive. Lust does not come with open hands, certainly not with an open heart. It comes only with open legs.

    Henry Fairlie (2015). “The Seven Deadly Sins Today”, p.128, University of Notre Dame Pess

  • Forgiveness is the giving, and so the receiving, of life.

  • The giving and receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.

    Khalil Gibran, “Pleasure XXIV”
  • The giving and receiving is the tricky thing. It's not the gift. It's what the heart says in giving the gift, and from my point of view, one doesn't give or receive - that's a role we have to play. But the gift - it's God's gift. I think that it's better to be souls than roles.

  • I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.

    Brené Brown (2015). “Rising Strong: How the Ability to Reset Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead”, p.182, Spiegel & Grau
  • The secret of a happy home is that members of the family learn to give and receive love.

    Family   Home   Giving  
  • People tend to consider beig vulnerable a bad thing. It's not. Vulnerability reminds us that we're human. It keeps us open to giving and receiving love. Without at least a little, we can become someone living n a prison of our own making, where the walls are so thick that no one can get in or out.

  • Nourished people, people who love and care for themselves, are also more efficient and nicer to be around. When you give yourself permission to relax, people will feel more relaxed around you; your environment will become more harmonious. Balance - between work and pleasure, giving and receiving, seriousness and levity - creates a happy healthy life.

    Kathy Freston (2012). “Quantum Wellness: A Step-by-Step Guide to Health and Happiness”, p.149, Random House
