Curiously
enough, the giving spirit creates the receiving spirit.
So, to get more all one needs to do is give more. The
more ideas one creates and gives away the more ideas
one has.
Andrew
Carnegie, the steel baron and philanthropist who funded
America's 3,000 libraries and the great Carnegie Hall
in New York said: "I'll spend the first half of my life
creating great wealth and the second half giving it
away...Attempting to do the most good and the least
harm with my benefactions."
Carnegie
was a generous genius with ideas. He gave away visionary
ideas with his charitable contributions. As a tribute
and monument to his gifts, his foundation is alive,
well and still processing an ever-growing largess. The
Wee Scotsman was the first to give and inspired other
rich people to do the same. Now that is a legacy worth
leaving! It gives each of us a new benchmark to "goal"
towards.
In
giving and sharing you always have more. It seems
arithmetically as though one would have less but, in
fact, giving expands whatever one has. Music is the
best example of this theory, proving that giving and
sharing always creates more for everyone.
When
a musician gives their all, they feel exalted and thankful
that the music flowed through them. The audience is
enthralled, entranced, moved to happy tears, and feels
compelled to participate instantaneously in a standing
ovation. The star musician bares his soul and the audience
is wowed and ecstatic to tell everyone to see this performer.
Likewise,
the simple act of giving simultaneously creates more
good and blessings seemingly out of nowhere. Why? Because
God is always watching and cheerfully gives instantaneously
to the giver. That's why givers' give more. They have
experienced this amazing formula, even if they cannot
articulate it. They know that it works to their and
everyone's benefit.
