“If the thought of lack–whether it be money, recognition or love–has become part of who you think you are, you will always experience lack. Rather than acknowledge the good that is already in your life, alll you see is lack. Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance. The fact is: Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you are withholding from the world. You are withholding it because deep down you think you are small and that you have nothing to give.
Try this for a couple of weeks and see how it changes your reality: Whatever you think people are withholding from you–praise appreciation, assistance, loving care and so on give it to them. You don’t have it? Just act as if you had it, and it will come. Then, soon after you start giving, you will start receiving. You cannot receive what you don’t give. Outflow determines inflow. -Eckhart Tolle
“It is in giving that we receive.” -Saint Francis Of Assisi
“When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” -Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Don’t give to get.
Give from abundance. Give because you know you already have so much. And just want to share it with others.
You have nothing lacking.
Open yourself to the mysterious and infinite loop of grace.
