If somebody had told me eight years ago that the way out of
my financial struggle and difficulties was in giving, I would have thought they
were crazy; after all, my thinking at that time was that I had nothing to give. I was barely surviving myself! But after I discovered The Secret, I realized how wrong that thinking was.
In fact, the effects of giving can be so great that its practice
has become known as 'the law of prosperity.' Dating back to Ancient Egypt and
Babylonia, human beings have known and practiced tithing - that is, giving a
certain percentage of one's income. The practice of tithing has been a part of
many cultures and religions across the world, and continues to the present day.
The word 'tithe' actually means 'one tenth.
Everyone wants to give,
but the problem for most people is that by the time they've finished taking
care of themselves and their family, and get around to the giving part, they've
got nothing left. Wealthy people will tell you that to see the revolutionary
financial benefits of tithing, it has to be a priority, and the first thing you
do when you receive your income.
Having plenty of money or having a lack of money is based on what
we constantly hold in our mind, and the law of attraction will obey and
faithfully fulfill either one equally. Tithing is a powerful way to
revolutionize your mind about money; the very act of tithing says that there is
plenty of money, because you're giving some away. As a consequence, it will
increase the flow of money and all good things into your life. And, you will
discover that the joy and happiness you receive in return is far beyond the
monetary value of what you gave.
So, who do you tithe to? Choose something that inspires YOU and that
elicits strong positive feelings of joy and happiness in you. If those emotions
subside after a while, feel free to change where you tithe. You can begin at 5%
or lower, and work your way up to 10%.
