One way to keep hanging out in the flow of abundance is to give – give with no expectation of something in return.
From holding the door open for the person behind you, to donating money, or to donating time in the form of service, these are all excellent forms of giving.
3 Things happen when we do this:
- We get to feel good about ourselves all day.
- The person on the receiving end of our gifts is feeling the good energy and passing it along.
- Those who bear witness to this exchange are also positively affected by this kindness.
In other words, we can make changes in the world around us simply by giving.
The best part is that giving can be something we love to do. This is what giving looks like in my own life:
My and Debby’s show, Life Mastery Radio, is one way I give to our listeners – it’s a free show, but it’s not free for me. I give it my time and my money.
I do it because I love being a radio show host but also to put different thoughts and ideas into the world. Our show, I believe, helps people make better choices.
My Toast Masters community is another way I give back through service – nobody pays me to be there.
Bottom line is, I’ve enjoyed a bountiful life, and I know it.
Life Mastery Radio is a way for me to show gratitude and give back.
And while getting something in return isn’t why I do the show, I do notice how I reap the benefits of this giving:
I get lots of street cred for being a radio show host. And I get to rub elbows once a week with authors and thought leaders while getting the scoop on cutting edge ideas.
So you may think that you don’t have anything to give away – time or money. But you do.
And you may already be doing so without realizing it.
Holding the door open for the person behind you, buying someone a cup of coffee, stopping by to check on your neighbor whom you know has been sick – these are all perfect opportunities to help others, help ourselves, change the world, and stay in the flow.
