Silva was wanting to address his own issues with prosperity and turn around what seemed to be a really bad financial situation. He was advised to give away money, and while he at first fought against the idea, he eventually found a way not only to do it, but to make it a very powerful part of his daily routine.
One of the things that I took away from reading this article was that giving myself the opportunity to give even a small amount every day gives me the chance to affirm that I have abundance in a small way already. The key word here is "have." So often in the past, I have gotten hung up on the "don't have" part of my own personal money equation. And all too often, "don't have" has been the state of my financial situation.
In contrast, by affirming that "I have" I not only create a mental and spiritual state of having, but I open myself up to having more.
Giving in this manner must be done unconditionally. Don't do it with the expectation of what you will get in return, because now you shift yourself into a focus of getting. This "getting" is actually a state of "wanting," and that state of mind and heart will create more wanting. "Wanting" is a state that is outside of the natural cycle of giving and receiving. Again, my take-away is that as I give, I show myself that I have plenty, and that energy of having is so much more desirable than the desparate energy of needing.
Today I went to the bank and withdrew $30 in $1 bills. For the next year, month by month, I will be conducting this personal quest. I'll let you know how it goes.
Cheers,
Ignacio
