Initiate giving. Don't wait for someone to ask. See what happens - especially to you. You may find that you gain a greater clarity about yourself and about your relationships, as well as more energy rather than less.

At the deepest level, there is no giver, no gift, and no recipient . . . only the universe rearranging itself.
