Give It Away

If you want something, give it away! This sounds crazy….right?  It has been said that you get more of what you want by giving away some of what you have.   Look…when a farmer wants more seeds, he takes his seeds and gives them to the earth.   When we want a smile, you give yours.   When we want affection, we give affection.   When you help people, they help you.   When you want a smack in the mouth.   You have to smack someone.  And if you want people to give you money….share some of yours.

Think about it.   According to a book, if attachment hinders the flow of good things into your life, then the opposite of that would be unattachment - to the point where we give away some of what we value.   What you give away will tend to come back to you.

A question was raised….WHAT ABOUT THOSE WEALTHY OLD MISERS WHO NEVER GAVE ANYBODY ANYTHING???

How often do we hear this kind of story…..”a penny-pinching old tightfist, who lived on bread crust, dies with a million dollars parked under his bed?   It begs a question:  “If you have to give in order to receive, what happen here?”

The balance in our bank book is not the measure of our abundance.  Abundance is what’s circulating through your life.  Prosperity is a flow - giving and receiving.  If you have a fortune in Swiss deposits, and you’re not using it, then it’s not enriching you.   Technically it’s yours, but in reality you’re “receiving” nothing from it.   It’s not making you abundant and it might as well belong to someone else.   So the principle of giving and receive holds, even here.

The trick to giving is to give without wanting anything back.  If you expect something in return, you are attached to a result - and when you are attached, less happens.

And should you enjoy your material possessions?   Of course!!! Just make sure you own them and they don’t own you.
