Dear Giver One day, you will help someone else with the same
help you have received... Use the URL below to learn the value of give and take. And remember that... Someone Believes In Your Business and You! Hello! I want you to remember an especially trying time in your life. Usually here at BE
THERE Magazine, we focus on the positive and the future. However, just for a few moments, let your mind take you back to a
time of struggle and strife...where you needed help. Can you recall a
desperate situation when someone reached down a strong hand and arm for you to hold? It could have been a financial gift, a gift of time, or even a material gift...but they had something you seriously
needed to survive, and lo and behold, you received what you needed. Someone one gave to you out of their own supply...simply
because they cared. Remember how your body felt when the situation eased
you found you could breathe again? Could you feel again, when the paralyzing fear gave in to sweet peace? How about the moment the dreaded knots in your stomach untied
and food tasted sweet? How did you thank your benefactor? Did you shake
his hand, hug her neck, cry, shake your head or collapse in relief? Were you speechless? Gratitude for liberation can sometimes be difficult to express. One of the best,
most lasting ways to express thankfulness is to give back what you have received. Helping someone else with the same help
you received is a precious, priceless act. I challenge you to actively look
around for someone with fingernails torn as they cling to life. Someone who is barely making his or her life work needs you...needs
an offering of help. They need encouragement, support, advice or guidance. You still remember what it feels like to
be right there in the midst of despair. As you will recall, the assurance of help is the greatest knowledge a person can give. I challenge you
to make it a point to give back to others. Wherever you are successful, offer your success to others. For me, I have seen woman experience Domestic Violence, lived through the tragedy of a bad relationship
, so I relate well as a Prince George's County Police Officer to women in bad relationships. I offer solace to woman by giving
information . I know that one can survive a bad relationship you, don't always have to die! Finally, more than once, I've
been given business ads dollars to support women when they definitely needed an escape from violence. Now, I look forward
to paying for someone else's unexpected journey. No matter how you
decide to "pay back", remember you cannot out-give the Universe. You can have tons of fun trying...yet the Universe
will always continue to give again and again. Together, giving back and forth
- together you and I can each live the life we desire. Yes, together we
can change our world!! Through each season of life, I want you to live with the life-changing knowledge that… Someone Believes
In Your Business and You! |

The Power of Giving With the holiday season upon us I thought
I would take the time to write about the Power of Giving in this holiday newsletter. Before I do
that I want to wish all of you a terrific holiday season and a happy new year. Like many others I do not
celebrate Christmas - but I do celebrate the holiday season. For me this is the time to enjoy with my family,
friends and it's also a time for me to give to those I care about and to those in need. There is
tremendous power that comes with the act of giving - and I'll explain how this power is created and how it works.
The
power of giving comes from a selfless act - where you simply give from your heart. This act of giving is not
tied to any special event, holiday or celebration - it is merely a time when you give from the heart
because you want to share what you have, show your appreciation and give because you truly care. There should
not be any other motive behind it. You don't give so that you can get something in return. When you give simply
from the heart you are saying to the universe, your higher powers and you are also sending out energy that others
pick up - this message that you communicate by the selfless act of giving is that you truly care
and want to share what you have. You also say that you don't care if you don't get anything in return, you don't
care if no one notices or if no one thanks you. After all that's not why you are doing it. When you do this - the
response that you get can be quite overwhelming. It will be as though a thousand hands came to help you even
when you didn't ask for help. Things start to fall into place - because those who give from the
heart - will get a thousand times the amount that they give. Remember - I said that you give from the heart.
You don't give with the expectation of something in return. You can give with the thought that you are
sharing - that you are giving because you have so much. You are giving because you know and trust that you will
always have what you want so you can afford to give something even before you receive what you seek.
This
mere act of giving from the heart and with the full knowledge that you have plenty and with the trust that you
will always have more than enough - creates a bond between you and your higher power, spirit, universe,
God or whatever you want to call that part of us that we feel is connected to a higher entity. That bond is a
trust - in which you are saying "I know I will always have more than I want so I am now giving
something because I want to - fully trusting that I will always have more than what I want - and therefore I
can share because I want to." When you do this the universe or the higher power responds by saying
- "ah-ha - ___ believes they have so much that they are already willing to share - let's give
him/her some more so that they can continue to share." It really does work that way. But too often we get
caught up in our wants and needs, we get selfish - only focusing on ourselves and our own little problems - which
when looked at in terms of the bigger picture are really not that severe. Sure there are some of
us who have some serious setbacks that we want to overcome - and I'm not trivializing that or any of your own
personal concerns. However, I do think that we need to look at the needs of those of those around
us as well - and then ask ourselves what can we do to help make things better. After all - it's our world - if
we don't share how can we help each other and how can we overcome our own setbacks. If you don't help your neighbor
- and if everybody didn't help their neighbor - how would we ever get things done? There would be
no progress because we would all be consumed with our own little world and not take the time to help each other.
Giving
is a part of human nature. That's why when we do it we enjoy the process so much. We enjoy seeing the other person
smile; we enjoy helping someone else in some small way. I know that not all of you are in a position to give a
great deal, or to buy the ideal present or to spend a lot of money. But you can give your time.
You can give something small, you can make a small gesture to the universe and your higher power - that you believe
you will always have what you want and more - you believe so much that you're willing to give and
share that even before you receive it. This is something I teach in my Creating Power system. The Creating Power
course spends a good deal of time teaching you how to generate the Power of Giving. I have an uncle who
has done quite well for himself and at age 72 he still runs his company and factory. I remember talking to him
recently and he told me about the tough times. He said when he started out he didn't know how things
would turn out. But he was always involved in charities and always trying to help those around him. He didn't
have a lot of money to give - but he had some time - so he got involved with helping out people in need. Sometimes
by getting old clothes from family members to donate, sometimes by collecting tins of food, anything
he could do. As he started making some money he would donate a portion to his religious community - he never
stopped donating and to this day is still involved in charities. His son who is a very successful
doctor - will visit Africa once or twice a year to perform free surgery on those who are need. Both my uncle
and his son said they gave because they believed they had so much - and they just wanted to share
what they had. There was no other motive. They have been rewarded ten times over - they both live very comfortable
lives. I have countless stories that I can share with you about how people who give always get more
in return - but the key is that they give without expecting anything - they simply give - knowing and trusting
that they will always have more than what they need. Now we all can't perform free surgery - but we can give a little of
our time - since we all have they same amount - surely you can spare an hour or two on the weekends.
If you go shopping - buy something small for someone - with the belief that you will always have more than
you need. You can even buy something for yourself with that same belief. You can give a small amount to charity
- with the complete belief that you will always have more than you need. If you want to receive love and affection
- then give love and affection to those you care about. If you want to make more money - then give
a small amount to charity. Give with the belief that you already have so much that you are now willing to share
what you are about to receive - don't expect anything in return - just trust that you will get what
you seek. This is a very powerful technique and there's no better time to give than during this holiday season.
