Tithing- By Giving You WILL Receive

In the book "The One Minute Millionaire", Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G. Allen discuss proven techniques and provide useful tools (in the form of Ahas), for becoming an Enlightened Millionaire (TM). One of the Ahas is about tithing, or "sharing the wealth" in layman terms. Tithing is when a monetary donation (typically a tenth of one's income or tithe) is made to a charity and/or church. Enlightened Millionaires follow two rules of thought regarding tithing. First, that abundance comes from making others better off. Second, the primary reason for obtaining wealth is to be able to give more of it away. In fact, Enlightened Millionaires DO commit to tithe the first 10% of their income.

Why is tithing something that so many already successful people believe in? Perhaps, because they recognize the cycle of the universe that says that in order to make room for more, we have to let go of some of what we have. It's a classic Win-Win for everyone involved. Many children practice this, here's an example. Sue and Jane are playing. They both come inside for a drink. Jane runs outside, trips and spills her fruit punch. Sue takes the remainder of her punch and pours it into her friends' cup. Her mom sees this act of kindness and brings her a full glass of punch. Sue has just been rewarded for her selflessness and in fact received more than she gave. Tithing is based on the same principle, substituting money for fruit punch of course, lucky us!

I know that the idea of giving away 10% of all income that shows up has your eyebrows raised. Especially if you are presently not in a very good financial place, but I assure you that good will come of it. First, you get to decide where you would like your gift to go. Is there a shelter in your community or a youth center that needs assistance? Or perhaps your son/daughter's school is on need of supplies? It's your gift and you have control over deciding where it would do the most benefit. This alone should make you feel good inside. Being able to help those less fortunate is always powerful with the universe. It shows that you are grateful for what you have and willing to help those less fortunate than yourself. Second, think of how beneficial your gift will be. Those on the receiving end will be giving thanks for the gift that you gave, and putting their gratitude out into the universe as well. The more you give, the greater number of people that are being added to the universe in a positive prosperous way, thereby creating more opportunity for you to give, by making more available to you.

Give it a try. Make a commitment to begin giving 10% of all of your income away to a cause that is close to your heart. Once you start, keep a journal and write down the new financial opportunities that will begin showing up. Some of the things that others have seen manifest are new job offers for a larger salary, new clients, new business ideas, partnerships or contacts that have resulted in more funds, unexpected payments, etc.
