GIVE YOURSELF AWAY.

Making someone else’s life better is one of our "purposes" in this lifetime. Decide to find new ways to give a portion of yourself or your possessions every day to someone. Examples may be a letter to someone who deserves or needs it, a rose to an elderly person, fixing breakfast in bed for a mate, a smile to a stranger, creating beauty, or picking up trash on a morning walk. Give Creatively!

Often we fix negative attitudes about money, wealth, prosperity or abundance, and never consider changing them. The main source of these attitudes is "negative money or abundance messages" from multiple authority figures in our past, especially our childhood. The maxim "change your thinking, change your life" works miracles.

Here are examples of "negative money/abundance messages." Before reading them, take a moment to pray or meditate and open to this experience of rethinking your own "negative money/abundance attitudes." Remember that you can grow to a new level of acceptance of your healthy relationship with prosperity & abundance.
