‘The more you give the more you receive’ may sound like twisted logic to those who have not yet experienced this dynamic exchange because logic dictates that giving should cost. Hence, the reason we withhold because we are afraid to lose what we have gained. But prosperity and abundance especially financially are dependent on the practice of giving and receiving. In fact, the law of giving and receiving is a universal law that financial success depends on. Doing the opposite of this is a disruption to how the universe works.
Personally, I believe we don’t have money problems rather what we have is giving problems. Hoarding money will not make you rich or wealthy because it breaks the circulation of into your life.
Giving and receiving is a requirement to keep money flowing in your life. To receive money, we must give through providing services or solutions to others. And to get financial increase, increasing the amount of giving is needed.
“You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.” – Zig Ziglar (motivational speaker)
If someone does something for you, you will naturally feel more obligated to do something for them. This is known as the concept of reciprocity which is triggered by giving. With this in mind, strive to be a giver.
Make it a duty every day to give someone a gift wherever you find yourself. You may be wondering: how can I give to others when I can barely make ends meet? Not having money or wealth should not be your excuse for not giving. Instead it should be a driving force for you to give more.
Other than money, here are some of the gifts you can give to keep wealth flowing in your life:
-
Attention
In today’s world, attention is a hot commodity and it pays some of the most dividends. Attention could be expressed in the form of actively listening, encouraging or noticing others. Giving someone your attention is regarded as invaluable because it involves your time and presence. It also signifies respect which results in better relationships with others. And with better relationships comes more access to wealth.
-
Affection
Giving is an act of kindness. Theodore Roosevelt once said “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Being kind or affectionate goes a long way. It can open up financial opportunities for you because you never know who the person you are impacting knows.
-
Appreciation
giving compliments to others is a form of recognizing their effort. It is also a gift that makes others happy or feel good about themselves.
3 keys to activating rule of ‘the more you give the more you receive’ in your life:
Since it pays to be generous, here’s what you need to keep in mind when giving:
1. Give something of value
It is important to ensure that what you are giving is valuable to the receiver. Value does not necessarily equate to expensive. When you put value first, you put the needs of your receiver first. For instance, some businesses offer free stuff such as a bottle of water, beverage, candy, donut, books and other complimentary products to customers waiting to purchase goods or services. And it has been proven as a winning strategy for businesses. Put another way, recognizing the needs of those you encounter and giving matching value means not offering a piece of donut to a person eating a box of donuts. Instead, think of giving water or a beverage. Giving something of value doesn’t have to break your bank account.
2. Give freely
Do not give reluctantly or under compulsion. Be Generous without grudges. Give what you can, willingly without regrets or strings attached. According to researchers, workers who share information or knowledge freely are more likely to thrive at work, or experience learning and growth.
3. Give with a positive intention
Do not give with the intentions of restricting, manipulating or controlling the receiver. The power of giving goes much deeper when positive intentions are involved. The net result of giving with positive intentions is that subconsciously the giver gets an instant reward for being generous. This instant reward comes in the form of fulfillment and personal satisfaction which are both guaranteed to boost morale. Naturally, people respond with positivity when they receive positivity.
The reason for your generosity matters. Giving with a corrupt intention is bribery. You are buying favor when your gift is solely to earn favor.
On the other hand, the law of giving and receiving requires you to receive gratefully. Meaning that you should genuinely express gratitude whenever you receive gifts from others, especially monetary gifts. Also it is important to be very appreciative of the simple gifts of nature we receive every day like sunlight, rain showers etc. When you are grateful for what you receive, you are more likely to reciprocate through giving to others. And that’s how to keep wealth circulating in your life through the rule of the more you give the more you receive.
BOTTOM LINE:
- Do not think of giving as an act of loss because giving benefits the giver the most.
- Give freely, intentional and with value in mind
- The more you give the more you receive is a universal law that guarantees financial success and wealth circulation in life.
Ultimately, give what you wish to receive. If you want attention start giving attention, if you want affection start giving affection, and if you want money start giving others what they need.
