Pure Motives
By: Yehuda Berg
Tuesday, January 20
People frequently befriend us or do favors for us with a hidden agenda. Likewise, our behavior toward others is often conditional, without us even realizing it. Our actions of sharing usually have strings attached. We expect something in return at a later time. We befriend others to advance our own standing.
If we ever feel let down by others, chances are that the friendship we offered was contingent upon our receiving some form of benefit down the road.
Today, offer pure love and friendship with only pure motives.
