Today sees the continuation of our Dadly Daily Declaration series with insights drawn from Robin Sharma‘s newest book, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life.
The next eleven declarations will explain Sharma’s Eleven Maxims to Increase Your Financial Fortune and Experience an Exquisite Life. The sixth maxim is: Money Is the Fruit of Generosity, Not Scarcity.
Here are a few gems from today’s reading:
- Money is a currency that must flow like electricity. Yes, cash is a current. It needs to circulate. Hoarding it stops the flow of it into your business and private life. All genuine magicians know this. So give more to receive more. Leave lavish tips for servers in restaurants, housekeepers in hotels and drivers in taxicabs. Donate to charities. Do wonderful things for your family and friends without a single thought of any return. A tsunami of abundance will be sent to you.
- Developing and then armor-plating your prosperity consciousness will realize quantum gains in your income and personal net worth.
That leads us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Four practices can help you make your financial fortune: positive expectancy, active faith, ever-increasing gratitude and extreme value delivery.
By positive expectancy, always maintain a mindset where you expect money will come to you regularly and from highly unexpected sources.
Active faith is when you behave in a way that shows life you trust it in its abundance and benevolence. The universe adores gestures of affluence like paying for a dinner you had with your friends at an expensive restaurant when you cannot totally afford to do so. Or buying the tools you need to raise your craft when there’s little cash in your wallet. Just show nature you know prosperity is coming and perform acts that make you feel like you have plenty.
Ever-increasing gratitude equates to continuing opening your heart to everything and everyone in your life. Bless your money when you pay a bill. Bless the cashier at the grocery store and the farmers who harvested your food. Bless the motorist who lets you into a line in traffic and the musicians who write the songs that become the soundtrack of your life. Bless your legs for carrying you all these years, your eyes for allowing you to witness beauty and your heart for allowing you to feel alive.
Extreme value delivery just means giving others—teammates, customers, family members and strangers—exponentially more benefit than they ever could expect from you. Because we reap what we sow.
