I only give when it feels joyous to me, if I want to give, otherwise it is dishonest and selfish for me to give and it builds resentment in me.
I am very aware of my intentions when I give and when I am honest, I only give because I want to, because I have a desire to give, otherwise I wouldn't do it.
When giving feels joyous to me it tends to lead me to better (spiritual growth) outcomes, though typically, I have little control over those outcomes.
Giving is in my control, how when and why I give, how others receive is not, how I respond is.
