A speaker argues that seeking validation from others drains your energy, while giving naturally uplifts it. She uses a tree as an example: it gives oxygen whether treated with love or struck with a stone, because giving is its nature. Try asking yourself throughout the day: how can I give today?
I've noticed around me, most of us are living our life like this, always wanting for someone to appreciate us, wanting for someone to respect us, wanting for someone to love us. But actually, we humans are designed to live like this, in the spirit of giving instead of always wanting. A beautiful example of this is a tree. What does a tree give? Oxygen. Now, if someone waters the tree with love, will it still give oxygen? Yes. If someone hits the tree with a stone, will it still give oxygen? Yes. Does the tree decide whether or not to give oxygen depending on how others treat the tree? No. Because to give oxygen is the tree's dharma, the tree's duty. Just like giving oxygen is the dharma of the tree, giving respect, giving love is the dharma of us humans. Experiment for just one day and in different situations through your day, ask, how can I give today? Your energy will instantly become more powerful and And pure.
