What if you could increase your wealth simply by giving a small amount of money away? It seems counter intuitive right?
Recently I read a fantastic article based on a program called Give Away a Dollar a Day created by Texas resident Todd Silva and it got me thinking.
He suggests that you anonymously give one dollar away every day for a month and that as a result you will experience increased wealth, prosperity and abundance in your life. This makes perfect sense based on the way the laws of the universe work.
There is an invisible yet powerful energy always available to you that is abundant in every way. The key is to be connected and in harmony with it.
A great way to tap into abundance is through the Universal Law of Giving and Receiving. This means that what you put out (give) you will get back (receive).
Everything you think, feel and do is sent out into the universal energy field and similar to a boomerang, it will eventually be returned back to you exactly the way you sent it. The universe doesn't judge what you send out as positive or negative, it simply gives it back to you so you can experience it.
When you feel stressed about money, when you feel like you don't have enough or hold worries and negative feelings about it, you are sending messages of lack and limitation that will only bring more of what you don't want into your life. In addition, it causes an energetic contraction which creates disharmony and disconnects you from the flow of abundance that is always available to you.
In contrast, when you choose to focus daily on abundance, you become naturally tapped into the universal flow of abundance and supply. You might think of every positive thought, feeling and action as planting seeds that will blossom into positive experiences in your future.
"The universe operates through dynamic exchange . . giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And in our willingness to give that which we seek, we keep the abundance of the universe circulating in our lives." Deepak Chopra, the Seven Spiritual Laws of Success.
The best way to shift from lack to abundance in any area of your life is to give what you are seeking to someone else.
If you feel like you lack love, love more. If you feel a lack of support, support others more. If you feel like you lack money, give money. Of course, I'm not suggesting you be careless with your money but I am suggesting that even small amounts of money can act as seeds for building prosperity, abundance and wealth.
The positive feelings and sheer joy of surprising others with money will certainly make you feel better. Just think about how good it feels to find money, even a quarter sometimes is enough to make me feel happy. Imagine recreating that joy 30 times this month for other people. And who knows, maybe you will be the lucky recipient of a dollar this month!
creating wealth, prosperity and abundance: march challenge
1. Get 30 $1 bills.
2. Attach a positive message, note or blessing to each one. If you found a dollar, what would you want it to say?

4. Let go of expectations of something coming back to you and just trust that it will.
5. Between now and March 31st give 30 $1 bills away.
6. Let me know if you will be participating.
I'm excited and ready to get started. I hope you are, too. Have fun and let's create a collective wave of abundance and prosperity.
I would love to hear about your experiences. What creative messages did you put on the bills? How do you feel as you give away the bills? Please leave your positive experiences and creative ideas on this blog. Thanks!
