You don’t have to clean your plate because children are starving in Africa.
You don’t have to feel badly and try to live a smaller life because people are living in squalor.
You don’t have to lower your prices or give away your talents and services for free just because everyone deserves what you offer.
Deserving isn’t the issue.
From Abraham/Esther Hicks:
“You don’t hear anyone say, “Well, I have been well for so many years, that I’ve decided that I’m going to be sick for a while to allow some other people to be well.” Because you know that whether you’re well or not doesn’t have anything to do with them not getting enough wellness. You’re not using up the wellness and depriving them of it.
And it is the same thing with the abundance.”
I know it seems like a math problem.
If I have $100 and give it to the poor, I must have less in order for them to have more.
But it doesn’t work that way with abundance.
You can share your wealth.
You can create more wealth and a better life for other people.
But you don’t have to live a lesser life because things aren’t balanced.
I am currently watching Melinda French Gate’s Masterclass on Philanthropy.
I don’t see her living in a lean-to or acting embarrassed to walk amongst people in extreme poverty.
She is going to be less effective if she uses her energy to feel guilty.
We need her to stay in the lane of listening and feeling and problem solving.
How abundance works is if you create more, you have more to share.
What can you create today?
