Take and give sounds familiar. Our society taught us to give something and something good will come into our life, out of nowhere. As we grow up this mindset keeps in our mind. We thought that the kindness that everyone gives to us is because of our kindness. I think this is the wrong mindset.

This mindset keeps you wanting some feedback from everyone, the good feedback. And once the world is not on your side, you will be disappointed or maybe frustrated. In a few years, I have a mindset that life is about giving. Not take and give. This mindset helped me to live happier than before. When life goes down I don’t blame anything. Because we can control only the ‘give’ not the ‘take’.

If you have that mindset it will help you a lot. For example, after you give the best efforts in your work-life the appreciation like promotions or more salaries is a bonus and if you don’t get anything from that you will not be disappointed. In a relationship with our partner, this mindset will help your relationship, you will not be demanding each other. Even if this article doesn't have a good hit, it’s ok. It’s not in my control.

Thanks for reading,
