Jump Start Your Good!
Jump Start Your Good!
By: May McCarthy
You may have heard people say “When I receive more money, then I’ll be able to give to my church or charity. I barely have enough to pay my bills now.” Or, “When so-and-so apologizes to me, then I’ll be nice to him/her.” Or, “If my boss showed some appreciation for the hard work that I do, then maybe I would be a more engaged team member.”
All of these statements actually do the opposite of what the speaker wants. Statements like these keep the speaker in a position of lack and they will most likely never receive what they really want which is more money, more love, and more appreciation. To receive more of what you want in life, all you have to do is start giving it first. You can “jump start your good” by following the simple steps below to start receiving what you desire sooner!
1. To receive more money, commit to give 10% on any unexpected income that you receive on a weekly basis.
Then, expect and watch for intuitive messages that will lead you to recognize and receive unexpected income. You may find some money lying in the street that others passed by. You may find that a friend who you helped with a problem gifts to you some free dinner certificates. You may find that your company provides you with an unexpected bonus. Record all of this unexpected income and give 10% to where you are being spiritually fed.
One of my workshop attendees made this commitment and within a week of cataloging an increase of $50 from unexpected sources, he gave $5 to his church. The following week, he followed his dog on a different route in a park that they visit often. On the new path, he found a roll of money amounting to $325. He looked around for people that may have dropped it and didn’t find anyone close by. He sat in that same spot for an hour to see if anyone came back for the lost money and no one did. He thanked his CSO and gave $32.50 the following week to his church. After six months of proving the Law of Giving and Receiving, he decided to give on the after tax amount of his paycheck plus any unexpected income. A few months later, he received a 20% raise at his job and felt appreciated. A key tip for activating the power of this Law is to be consistent and give weekly.
2. To receive more love, start to give love to others.
Let all of your family and close friends know how much you love them. Send a short text or email if you don’t feel comfortable making a call. As you give love out, you will be surprised at how that affects others. You will receive an overflowing amount of demonstrations of love in return.
One of my workshop attendees did this with an aunt from which she felt estranged. She sent an email that said “I was thinking of you today and about all of the fun and loving times that we’ve had in the past. I hope that you’ll be coming to the birthday party for my brother.” In response, she received a huge bouquet of flowers and a long note that said that the aunt was so sorry for having caused my student such grief over a particular situation and that she loved her very much and looked forward to seeing her at the birthday party.” They had a great time together at the party.
3. To receive more appreciation, start appreciating everyone around you.
Let all of your co-workers, customers, suppliers, friends, and family know how much you appreciate them. Pick at least one person each day to call, speak to in person, or send a note to let them know how much you appreciate them.
One of my workshop attendees did this with her employees, family, friends, customers, vendors and suppliers. She would send short email notes, make brief phone calls, or say something in person about how much she appreciated them. A short time after starting this process, she noticed how much lighter and energized she felt. A few weeks later, the VP of her company came towards her down the hall and stopped before her. He fell to his knees and flailed his arms in a sign of homage to thank her and the accounting department that she ran for finding an error that saved the company many thousands of dollars. She felt much appreciated and so did the employees who looked over the tops of their cubicles to see this demonstration.
As you begin to give out what you want you will begin to notice more opportunities to receive. You’ll feel less burdened and more hopeful as you focus more of your attention on what you want in life, rather than what you don’t want. Whatever you put your attention on with the use of your words, thoughts, and emotions will manifest for you and become the life that you live. Choose to give now and enjoy the results!
May you be blessed on Your Path to all that is Good!
