The zeal to give sacrificially, to want to give up something important to us for others to benefit from gives power to our thoughts, and momentum to deeds. This helps to transmute into an enduring asset of priceless value of attainment of any purpose for us. When we give sacrificially we are sowing seed of an equivalent reward because with time seed will germinate into a full blown flower of opportunity. Giving up something valuable or important to us provides benefit far beyond mere accumulation of material riches. This act is like a fertile, almost unlimited, field for cultivation of upliftment and attainment. It is sowing and reaping business. One that opens door to success in higher bracket of individual achievement.

We all have privilege of giving sacrificially as a means of accumulating a reserve credit of goodwill and to provide for ourselves a just reason for demanding for more favors from God. No one should be compelled to give sacrifially; it must be a habit adopted on one’s initiative. It is an art of self expression that opens a door. We can find happiness by helping others find it.

It is true that most of us are limited by space allotted to us. However little we can give sacrificially can speak volumes of our benevolence. Most of us have been blessed because we choose to give sacrificially. Most of us acquired our riches through act of receiving, opportunity to give up something that is important or valuable to us to help others should be embraced; it should be one of our greatest satisfactions in life.

Can we be completely happy if we fail to give sacrificially, knowing that there is someone who really needs that help? Sometimes when we fail to offer certain assistance, we fail to free mind from certain inhibitions and self imposed limitations which may directly or indirectly bring about upliftment of today’s desires and tomorrows aims.

The greatest benefit from giving sacrificially does not come to those to whom help is rendered. It comes to one who has made sacrifice; his deeds come back to him greatly multiplied. ‘THAT WHICH I GIVE AWAY CAN I RETAIN AS MY OWN”

4.Ask Questions – You’re new in town, take advantage of it! Ask people where best sports bar is, which museum to visit first, or where to find perfect margarita, and you’ll get ball rolling to meeting a new friend.

5.Compliment, compliment, compliment – You should never do this if it’s not sincere, but a compliment is always a great conversation starter. And, it starts conversation on a positive note, so people are already responding favorably to you. Tell waitress her shoes are great, compliment your neighbor’s car, let a clerk know she’s doing a great job.
