Authentic giving is done without anticipation of reward. When we expect something in return, it’s conditional and more like a trade. There’s nothing wrong with wanting something in return, it’s just not true giving. Even real giving can cause disharmony if it becomes too one-sided. Feeling unappreciated is often a signal that generosity has become imbalanced. Being resentful about how much we give indicates a lack of equilibrium. The way to bring balance back into the equation sometimes just requires the ability and courage to…
Just say no.
