Don't look for a gift, look for a Reward

Who doesn't like receiving gifts? When it's our birthday and they bring us gifts we feel very excited, grateful and happy, the problem is when we want to turn that practice into a sport in our lives.

You ask how is that? Well, there are many people who love receiving so much that they transform their whole life into a royalty, they get used to receiving gifts and want to do it all the time, and I say gifts because they do not make an effort at all for everything they receive.

When we receive we must be so grateful that we must respond to it, if on the contrary we get used to receiving without deserving it or working for it, then everything in life becomes a gift and not a reward.

That is why many parents educate their children in such a way that they are capable of understanding that in order to obtain something beneficial they must work for it, not because they are bad but because that is how it should be, then when they do something good they are rewarded, so that understand that the one who acts well will always receive good as a reward.

Seeking reward more than gifts will lead you to act like a better person because the one who seeks reward will always act well but the one who only seeks what is given will never do anything for something or someone because he knows that the one who receives a gift costs nothing.

From today, be part of those who seek more rewards and fewer gifts and you will see how you contribute a grain of sand to change the world.
