If you want something, give it away. When we freely give something away we send a powerful message to the universe that we have such an abundance of _______ that we can give it away. That is why a basic principle of prosperity is tithing. Even if you feel you don’t have much money, make it a priority to give anyway. The giving is an affirmation of your abundance and faith that there is much more where that money came from.

In your journal, think about the abundance you enjoy. Be thankful for it. If there is something you would like more of in your life (money, love, etc.), rather than complaining about not having enough of ______, think of a way to give whatever it is away to another.

Here are some ideas to get you started.

1. If you want money, give some money to charity or better yet begin a committed tithing program of a certain % of your income (many say 10% is a good amount).
2. If you want respect, be more respectful to others.
3. If you want more affection or attention from your spouse, be more affectionate and attentive to them.
4. If you want more time for yourself, give someone help that frees them to have more time for themselves.
5. If you want people to smile at you, smile at them.

At first, it may feel a little counter-intuitive to do this but it is very simple- and it does work. Write down some ideas in your journal and then get out there and start giving away what you want!
