I will open my life to the act of giving today. Giving and receiving are the same channel. When I am able to truly give, I have tuned into the channel, opened the pipeline, through which I receive. When I love another, I am loving the self-giving and receiving love. The act of giving is the key. In giving I receive, in loving I open to experience love-the world is impartial. If I open the vessel of me, it will be filled.

I give and I love.

The essential truth about the existence of man is in the Gospels. What we are, what we hope, what we need, is contained in the Gospels. But they can be difficult. An easier bridge to their meaning is St. Francis of Assisi. Simply, Saint Francis says the key to the purpose of life is giving. In giving, you find happiness. You find peace. If you give, you find you are serving your purpose in life. In loving, you find love.
Franco Zeffirelli from “The Meaning of Life
