But what
I'm talking about here is individual giving. I'm talking about you giving money
so you will receive more money.
If
there's one thing I think people do wrong when they practice giving, is they
give too little. They hold on to their money and let it trickle out when it
comes to giving. And that's why they aren't receiving. You have to give, and
give a lot, to be in the flow of life to receive.
I
remember when I first heard about the idea of giving. I thought it was a scheme
to get me to give money to the people who were telling me to do the giving.
If I did
give, it was like a miser. Naturally, what I got in return was equivalent to
what I gave. I gave little. I got little.
But then
one day I decided to test the theory of giving.
I love
inspiring stories. I read them, listen to them, share them, and tell them. I
decided to thank Mike Dooley of tut.com for the inspiring messages he shares
with me and others every day by email.
I
decided to give him some money. In the past I would have given him maybe five
dollars. But that's when I came from scarcity and feared the giving principle
wouldn't work. This time would be different. I took out my check book and wrote
a check for one thousand dollars.
Mike was
stunned. He got my check in the mail and nearly drove off the road as he headed
home. He couldn't believe it.
I loved
making him so happy. I delighted in giving the money to him. Whatever he did
with it was fine with me. What I got was an incredible feeling of helping
someone continue doing what I believed in. It was an inner rush to help him. I
still rejoice at sending him the money.
And then
something wonderful began to happen.
I
suddenly got a call from a person who wanted me to co-author his book, a job
that ended up paying me many times over what I given away.
And then
a publisher in Japan contacted me, wanting to buy the translation rights to my
best-selling book, "Spiritual Marketing." They, too, offered me many
times what I had given my friend as a gift.
A true
skeptic can say these events are unrelated. Maybe in the skeptic's mind, they
aren't. In mine, they are.
When I
gave money to Mike, I sent a message to myself and to the world that I was
prosperous and in the flow. I also set up a magnetic principle that attracted
money to me: As you give, so you will get.
Give
time and you'll get time.
Give
products and you'll get products.
Give
love and you'll get love.
Give
money and you'll get money.
This one
tip alone can transform your finances. Think of the person or persons who have
inspired you over the last week. Who made you feel good about yourself, your
life, your dreams, or your goals?
Give
that person some money. Give them something from your heart. Don't be stingy.
Come from abundance, not scarcity. Give without expecting return from that
person, but do expect return. As you do, you will see your own prosperity grow.
