What do you want to give to the world?
Recently, I was doing some preparation for a workshop on prosperity that I’m running later in the year, and I’d been thinking about what I consider true prosperity to be. For me it’s a whole way of life that gives me an abundance of health, happiness, good relationships, friendship, peace, joy, creativity, meaningful work, tenderness and so much more. It also can provide enough money to buy the essentials of life and have some to give away.
Then I was pondering on the basic mechanics of how the flow of prosperity occurs and why, when we live in a world of almost endless supply, for many people, poverty in all its forms, is still a daily reality. Since the more we can create prosperity ourselves, the more we will have to give away… and the more we can help balance the dreadful poverty we see around the world. For me, that is the most important aspect of prosperity – we must give it away in order to maintain it! I believe that we all have a responsibility to do our best to get the whole world out of the rut of poverty and need. We’re stuck, and we need to get that prosperity flow really working for everyone – something it cannot do if we ignore the importance of the first part of the prosperity bargain.
The river of life is always flowing, and it’s our responsibility to put whatever we can into the river to ensure the flow – love, care, kindness, help, money, education – the list is endless. Then we can take out whatever we need – or want. It might seem hard to be expected to give if you feel you have so little in the first place, but read on… we all have something we can give. For instance, smiles are one of the best forms of currency! The deal is: First we give…then we receive.
So, I started to review my own list of what I can give to the world, and what I want to give to the world. You might like to do the same. Most of us have much more than we think when we get down to really looking. And much of what we have to give is so valuable yet doesn’t cost us anything. In fact, so many things are so much more valuable than money – though of course it’s good to also give as much of that as we can too.
Here’s what I came up with…
I want to use and share whatever gifts I have to help all of us find uplifting joy, vibrant good health, possibility, potential, upward and outward movement. Then we can grow into our true unlimited selves with all the amazing gifts we all have, even if they some of them may have got lost under layers of hurt and sadness and grief and worry… well… just life, I guess. I want to help us all find ourselves – rediscover our gifts, allow them the light of day and polish then to their true brilliance so that we become all that we are and much more than we ever thought possible… I want give time and attention to my own inner work so that I can share happiness, joy, vibrancy, energy, laughter, kind humour, generosity of spirit, healing, hope, optimism, lightness and good clear communication that includes self assertion and the art of peaceful confrontation. I can give dedication and devotion and forgiveness so that I can be at peace within myself and work to bring peace elsewhere. I can help to create a sacred dance that unites us in love, trust and inclusivity. I can give love – healthy unconditional love –
a bright, positive attitude, common sense, time, attention,
focus and playfulness. And none of this costs me a penny.
Then there are actual things and
money I can give too.
Then we can all take from the river of life all of those apparently little things too. Welcoming smiles and choosing to feel loved and cherished, cared about and cared for. Then no one will be left behind. Everyone can be catered for. Everyone can know that they are valued and are an important part of this great family of humanity, regardless of colour, race creed, age, gender, or political persuasion. Every one of us can be part of this one magnificent matrix that cares for its own and ignores and rejects no one. Together, we can create harmony and balance with the world. We can create peace…
Right now, I’m smiling at you and wishing you well
Much love to everyone and I hope you have a day of giving and receiving; a day that’s better than you ever thought it could be…
