Freedom Friday – Do Not Give To Receive
For over a year I have been wanting Good Deeds bracelet. I posted a while ago that I had received one. I was so excited about it and still am, but I did not take into consideration all that comes with it.
Over the past couple of weeks I have been performing good deeds and have felt good in the process. All of my good deeds benefits others and me as well. I am constantly reminded that I need to watch my actions and focus on being a good person no matter how I am being treated in return.
I am unable to share my acts of kindness with you, but I want to lightly share some of my experiences. In some cases I have noticed that people do not say thank you. Some people are picky about what I do for them or give them or they do not acknowledge the gift at all. At first I was disappointed or I guess my feelings were hurt. I had to stop and think. It is okay, if people are unappreciative. My good deeds are something I want to do and I should not expect anything in return. I do not need my deeds to be acknowledged.
I like that I cannot share with others what my good deeds are or have been. My bracelet has allowed me to see things differently and is definitely very humbling.
As I continue my good deeds I realize each day that people have the freedom to do whatever they want and I cannot take it personally. Everything I do is coming from a good place. I cannot allow others to take that away from me.
Happy Friday!
Don’t be afraid to be free!!!
