| The [universal] Law of Giving [Part 3] |
The best way to put the Law of Giving into operation — to start the whole process of
circulation — is to make a decision that any time you come into contact with anyone, you will
give them something. It doesn’t have to be in the form of material things; it could be a flower, a
compliment, or a prayer. In fact, the most powerful forms of giving are non-material.
The gifts of caring, attention, affection, appreciation, and love are some of the
most precious gifts you can give, and they don’t cost you anything.
When you meet someone, you can silently send them a blessing, wishing them happiness,
joy, and laughter. This kind of silent giving is very powerful.
One of the things I was taught as a child, and which I taught my children also, is never to go
to anyone’s house without bringing something — never visit anyone without bringing them a
gift. You may say, “How can I give to others when at the moment I don’t have enough myself?”
You can bring a flower. One flower. You can bring a note or a card which says something about
your feelings for the person you’re visiting. You can bring a compliment. You can bring a
prayer.
Make a decision to give wherever you go, to whomever you see. As long as you’re giving,
you will be receiving. The more you give, the more confidence you will gain in the miraculous
effects of this law. And as you receive more, your ability to give more will also increase.
Our true nature is one of affluence and abundance; we are naturally affluent because nature
supports every need and desire. We lack nothing, because our essential nature is one of pure
potentiality and infinite possibilities. Therefore, you must know that you are already inherently
affluent, no matter how much or how little money you have, because the source of all wealth is
the field of pure potentiality — it is the consciousness that knows how to fulfill every need,
including joy, love, laughter, peace, harmony, and knowledge.
If you seek these things first - —not only for yourself, but for others - — all else will come to you spontaneously.
