A lot of people in society today, give in order to receive something in return. Sometimes we may keep track of what we have done for someone, somehow expecting for them to pay us back equally. It is hard to conceive but we may not receive what we deem equal to what we put into any given relationship, but this should be last on our list of worries. Just seeing someone happy from receiving something heartfelt from yourself should be reward enough for you.
It is important to realize also that the more we give, the more we will be blessed, hence the more we will be able to give later on. The more we bless our loved ones, the more God will bless us. Who wouldn't want to be able to see their loved ones blessed consistently, and be the actual ones to do the blessing, to be the actual one igniting a flame of happiness in someones life as much as possible? This is why giving, from a good place, is a significant part of one's journey to happiness.
