Please guide my giving and my motives

The Language of Letting Go

“Hey, that’s a lovely top. I’m going to take it”.

“Ok”, I said. The one top that I got many years ago in Florida that just happens to perfectly match that one outfit.

I couldn’t say no. Or at least I felt like I couldn’t.

So I left it behind, resenting the fact that I didn’t say no, couldn’t say no and grieving the loss of my perfectly-matching-top.

What were my motives? I didn’t want to say no and seem rude. It most certainly wasn’t coming from a genuine place of selflessly giving.

Today, I shall change my perspective. I will look at it as something that I chose to do. In future, I will either say no, or give from a place of generosity and authenticity.
