The Balance of Giving: Kindness, Boundaries, and Self-Care

My take on Giving!
I think giving and being kind are fundamentals to building human connection but it has it's limit.

Question?
Is giving limited to material wealth?... Nah I don't think so but it is mostly based on money because that the way the world has placed it to be.

I believe giving and being kind goes beyond supporting in terms of money but offering time, attention, knowledge and empathy.... even with all this being said they also have level for I can only give what is embedded in me but not what I don't have.

Most times we tend to forget that the act of being kind can inspire others and also create a cycle of positivity around individuals.

I will say based on my experience that sometimes... we give based on personal gain which in most cases leads to being generous for ego

LoL... There is this doing in African whereby we allow people and colleagues hype us before we give but aside that moment... We are filled with being Miserly.

CAN GIVING GET COMPLICATED?
To me
Yes It does, being Generous and kind can something get complicated, sometimes it can lead to challenge when not balanced with boundaries,self awareness and discernment. Yes you want to give we know but Give what you have...when you have in excess.

Sigh.. I remember one time I got into serious debt because I wanted to come through for someone and it didn't turn out well for me.

Take Note: Excessive generosity can lead to burnout or resentment if one neglect their own needs while prioritizing other. Also being overly accommodating might enable harmful behavior in other or lead to being taken advantage of.

TAKE HOME: BUDGET YOUR GENEROSITY SO YOU WILL NOT RESPOND EMOTIONALLY

Kindness and Generosity are mostly affective when paired with wisdom,clean communication and mutual respect... Set healthy boundaries that both the giver and benefactor benefit from.

☺️ Don't let anyone doTuale Tuale, oga mi, my boss collect all your money oh.... Money don scarce and No go do shuma No Owo yin tun for party😂.Just joking anyway but Alway remember giving is gives this happiness when done right

In the end, giving and kindness are essential to human connection, but it’s crucial to approach them with wisdom and self-awareness and By setting tight boundaries, make honest communicating openly and Alway learn to prioritize our own well-being, we can give generously without sacrificing our own happiness and peace at the expense. Let's strive to be kind and generous, but let’s also remember to protect our own peace of mind.

Hope you enjoy it ... Peace out♥️
