<\/p>\nThe season of giving is upon us and how we give follows cultures and customs.\u00a0 Whatever the timing and however we do it, giving is a good thing!\u00a0 Ironically, some of us prefer giving and find it hard to receive.\u00a0 Think of this: knowing you like giving means receiving affords that same experience to others.\u00a0 Giving is to offer something, material, or a verbal expression, without expectations.\u00a0 The important part here is \u201cwithout expectations\u201d because sometimes people don\u2019t realize there was going to be gift-giving and are unprepared.\u00a0 Sometimes people simply cannot afford to give gifts.\u00a0 Sometimes people prefer not to give material things.\u00a0 Sometimes gifts land differently than we expected.\u00a0 There are reasons not to give, reasons we do give, and there are benefits to giving.\u00a0 Consider the reasons and the benefits. <\/p>\n
