2 Choices That Improved the Money Flow into My Life.

Whenever I heard “You have to give to receive,” my body froze; I barely had the money to pay my bills. How could I give something?

Every time my paycheck hit my account, I went into this anxiety mode, blended with the hope that one day I would not worry more about money because it would be abundant.

The fact that I was often worried about paying my bills was creating more of the same.

#1 Mindset is Everything

More bills arrived based on my mindset, lack of financial knowledge, and impulsive buying.

Back in the day, my month was a constant battle in my mind about “when I get my salary, I will do this, and I will do that…”

I sat down many times a month to make a new budget, review my spending, and make promises to myself. Still, when the time of the salary arrived, the same cycle happened all over again.

The worst part was when I saw my bank statement for the month; I didn’t even know where the money went!

I started to think, why am I doing this to myself? I just wanted to go into a big hole and be there where no one would find me.

I was depressive, feeling not worthed at all and all that because I didn’t have money.

Then I remembered Bob Proctor’s quote: if you are a good master, money is a great servant.

In other words, I was allowing money to be a master to me because I lacked the knowledge to be a good master of my life and allowed money to dictate my mood.

If I had money, life would be good; if I didn’t, I was sad. With this mindset, it was no surprise that my finances needed to be improved.

#2 Giving is Receiving

One day, after a long day of work, I was looking at my mobile and bumped into a video of a guy named Berell Salomon. [2]

This video gave a whole other perspective about giving.

As an Eclectic Spiritualist and Occultist, I usually take the knowledge from philosophies and religions into my life. Tzedakah changed my life for good.

Tzedakah is the Hebrew word for philanthropy and charity. It is a form of social justice in which donors benefit from giving as much or more than the recipients. So much more than a financial transaction, Tzedakah builds trusting relationships and includes contributions of time, effort, and insight. [1]

Malach 3:10 says:

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down a blessing until there is no more need.

The Quran says:

“Indeed the charitable men and women and those who lend Allah a good loan — it shall be multiplied for them, and there will be a noble reward for them.” (57:11–19)

When I started to give my 10%-20%, my life started to change; the first thing I noticed was the anxiety had diminished, and I was being more realistic by being able to hold my impulses about the spending.

Consumerism reflects insecurities; like Dave Ramsey said: “we buy things we don’t need to impress people we don’t like.”

After some time of giving Tzedakah, money started flowing into my life like never before.

Suddenly, I was not short on money anymore and was not in an urge to buy things; I was indifferent when I saw something I wanted to purchase months ago.

Surprisingly, not only did money start to flow into my life, but opportunities through networking and the flow of energy took away the anxiety of my life. I could be more present and create the life I am living effortlessly.

Final Words

One of the main reasons prosperity and abundance are lacking in your life is that you are unwilling to give.

Follow your intuition about what to give; a simple article, writing about something you know, your time and attention might help many people.

Don’t brag about what you give, and don’t make a big thing out of it; give and never take credit for it.

Learn about finances; it helps a lot and makes you a master of your triggers and behaviors regarding your finances.
