One of the fundamental rules of wealth is that it is something that flows. Money is energy, which means it is always moving and transferring from here to there and everywhere. Money and wealth are like blood, which naturally must keep flowing in order for us to be alive and healthy. The minute it stops flowing, it clots… and the same principal applies to wealth.
It has been said that in giving without wanting or expecting anything in return, you will receive blessings ten-fold what you gave out. I know you have probably heard the term ‘good karma’, which is essentially the same principal. You may also have heard of the term ‘tithing’, which means giving 10% of everything you earn away to a good cause (church, charity etc). Basically, no matter what you call it, this law exists without doubt.
“Charity and personal force are the only investments
worth anything.”
- Walt Whitman
I believe there is a challenge with the way karma has often been referenced however, that if you do something good, you will get something better in return. The idea of doing something good for someone, with getting something better as the reason, defeats the purpose and the very essence of karma in the first place.
The idea is to give with love, and no expectation, and that alone should make you feel like a million dollars! The fact that the Universe is likely to bestow a magnitude of wealth and blessings upon you is simply a bonus. ?
To give you an example, a couple of years ago a friend of mine had just placed his property on the market for sale. One night we were all at a fundraising function and he and his wife contributed a sum of money to a very good cause. That night when they got home, there was a very good offer for their property waiting for them on their fax machine!
“You will find, as you look back on your life, that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others.”
- Henry Drummond
If you have been living beyond your means, or struggling to make ends meet, then I know that you’re wondering how on earth you could possibly part with 10% of your precious income. All I can say is that you should try it for a while… I’m certain that you will find that you really won’t notice the small difference much day to day, but what you will find is that wonderful new experiences and feelings and blessings find their way into your life and your heart.
Another important reason to tithe, is because it is all part of having an abundant mentality, rather than one of lack. To say “I don’t have enough to share” is coming from a lack mentality, whereas to say “I have so much money, that I am lovingly sharing it with others” is thinking from a place of abundance.
“No person was ever honoured for what he received. Honour has been the reward for what he gave”
- Calvin Coolidge
If you are truly not in a position to give money to help others, then there are many other ways that you are able to share, such as donating your time. Perhaps you can volunteer your services at a local charity or spend some time with a lonely elderly person who needs someone to talk to.
You may even want to take on a student to mentor on something that you have had success with… what is the point of learning all that we have in life, if we can’t teach others what we have learnt? Get creative, as it is these experiences of giving back that will truly enrich your life.
Humans weren’t designed to struggle and experience lack. The Universe has endless blessings and abundance for each of us, and is simply waiting for us to say the word and place our order.
Today is the day… start small, start now and think big always!
