Give without the expectation of receiving. And when you don't receive, give some more. Waiting for others to return the favour before we do more denies us the fulfilment of being who we are, while compromising our values to be who they are. Remember, we cannot give what we don't have, so when you withhold your gifts because you're waiting for others to respond in kind first, you're assuming that they have within them what drove you to give of yourself in the first place. It's a crazy cycle. Break it by giving without the expectation of receiving from them in return. That's the secret to fulfilment and contentment in our lives. #hope #expectation #sincerity #entitlement #gentleness #conviction #ownyourshit #ownyourlife #theegosystem #mentalhealth #selfawareness #selfrespect #mindfulness #inspiration #philanthropy #generosityofspirit #givingback (at Hagia Sophia Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4O34DTgxYr/?igshid=4ush8snay0ab
