5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE A GIVER

Hand giving money - United States Dollars (or USD)

We live in a generation where people don’t see the merits of being a giver. People only give in exchange for receiving favours but it shouldn’t be like this.

There are several merits of being a giver and below are some of them

1. GIVERS HAVE SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS

According to a research by psychologist John Gottman, lasting relationships come down to kindness and generosity. You can’t have a healthy and successful relationship if you never give and always expect from your partner.

2. GIVERS NEVER LACK

Givers never lack is a popular adage and this adage is actually true. You can’t lack if you are a giver. According to a University of Michigan study, giving is more beneficial than receiving. When people know you as someone that gives, they will respond in kind.

3. GIVING MAKES YOU FULFILLED

Another benefit of being a giver is that you become fulfilled when you give. There is no better feeling than the feeling of fulfillment you get knowing you helped someone. According to a 2008 study published in Psychology Today, people who give to charity were rated happier than those who spent money on a personal expense.

4. GIVERS LIVE LONG

If you want to live long, you need to be a giver. A study showed that people who regularly give have a 44 percent lower likelihood of dying. Studies have also shown that giving can bolster our body’s defense system helping you live longer.

5. GIVERS HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

One quality you will find in people that give is that they have a positive attitude about life. Having this attitude helps give satisfaction.

Be a giver today.
