Tithing for prosperity

One of the exercises Jim Rohn proposes in his Personal Development Plan in Success University in becoming the person you want to be a year from now, is that each day for a week you do at least one selfless act for someone. This is actually a very enabling thing to do but the use of the word selfless is also a paradoxical one to me because making a contribution in whatever way feels right for us is one of the Laws of Prosperity which means it benefits us enormously in turn, increasing our own prosperity many times over.

Tithing for example is not just about giving money (a tenth of what you have, ten being the magic power of increase). It is certainly a concept of giving, not getting, and giving of yourself boldly. When we give we need to do so with the right vibrational energy and never out of a sense of guilt. What vibration do you give when you donate? I confess to still feeling guilty when I pass by someone selling Big Issue. Many questions crowd in about whether or not I should. Whichever way I do it ,I feel bad, so whatever energy I am vibrating you can be sure its not so good. If we want to increase our own abundance (what goes around, comes around), we will get zero results giving with guilt.

Therefore we need to give with love and to choose wisely to whom we give. Topher Morrison in the Mental Game of Life recommends selecting a recipient, individual or organisation, committed to evolving humankind and to give systematically - and in secret. Lack of systematic giving leads to lack of systematic receiving. Everyone has something to give - time for someone, a kind word, a smile, a helping hand, a telephone call, and much more.

Tomorrow I will make a special effort in my giving to others that will light up their lives in some way and in turn, light up my own.
