\"Hand<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

There are several merits of being a giver and below are some of them<\/p>\n

1. GIVERS HAVE SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIPS<\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

2. GIVERS NEVER LACK<\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

3. GIVING MAKES YOU FULFILLED<\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

4. GIVERS LIVE LONG<\/b><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

5. GIVERS HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE<\/b><\/p>\n

One quality you will find in people that give is that they have a positive attitude about life. Having this attitude helps give satisfaction.<\/p>\n

Be a giver today.<\/p>\n
