I very often get asked by people, why I write an article every
day, in which I aspire to add inspiration to as many people’s lives as possible
and freely share my take on personal development. They cannot understand how I
can give so freely to others and ask nothing in return. My answer is always
very simple, we live in an abundant universe and the more we are willing to
share and give to others. The more open we are to receive ourselves.
Imagine standing with your hands clasped tightly against your
chest, where you are attempting to cling onto everything you know and possess,
so that no one can get any of it. Those clasped or closed hands can only hang
on to what you have; it is very difficult for them to open so they can gather
anything more. Contrast that picture with someone, who stands with open hands, freely
sharing everything they know and possess, with others. Yes those open hands do
give away plenty. But they are open and welcoming, inviting so much more into
their experience.
I believe that the secret to creating a life of meaning and living
a fulfilling experience, where you constantly grow, expand and share your
abundance with others, is to strive to be a person of value, rather than a
person, who possesses trinkets and a vast fortune. There is an incredible quote
written by Albert Einstein, which epitomises this concept. “Try not to become a
man of success but rather become a man of value” The more value I am able to
add to the lives of others, the more value, love and grace flows into my life.
Every act of kindness you are able to bestow on people around you, will not
only fill the receiver with joy and happiness, but will allow you to feel good
too.
When you are no longer self-focused and you consistently think abundant
thoughts, in which you are outward looking and you actively look for ways to
help and grow the people around you. It is almost magical, how many people
around you do exactly the same for you. What you think about, you bring about.
When you are thinking positive, good, sharing thoughts and you are in a
modality of always looking to improve the lives of the people around you,
exactly that will be reflected back at you. I am most certainly not suggesting
that you give to others, with a deep rooted expectation that you will get something
in return. The very thinking, which goes with that selfish motivation, will
have you thinking thoughts and acting in ways, which will interrupt the flow of
abundance into your experience.
Imagine what a wonderful, abundant world we would inhabit, if
everyone gave freely of themselves and only wanted the best for everyone around
them. Imagine if we all wanted to be people of value, or rather people, who add
real value to our world. This planet would be incredible. Start to play you
role today, no matter how small and strive to add some value to someone in your
environment. As you strive to be a person of value, in every facet of your life,
career, financial, spiritual, family, social, etc, you may give away more than
you are accustomed to at first. However it is my deep rooted belief that if you
have an abundant mind-set and you give freely without the expectation of ever
receiving anything in return, where you strive to give as much value to those
around you as possible, you will see buckets of success and abundance flow into
your life.
Accepting that there is abundance all around you and becoming a
value adder, is not a part time shift that you need to make. It must become
your new way of thinking and acting from this moment on. When all of us become
value adders and we have open hearts, hands and heads, where we share freely,
we invite happiness and abundance into our lives too.
