Give some money away. Tithe. Make charitable donations. Trust me; you will get more back than you gave.

The concept of tithing was first introduced by God. I know there are some who don’t believe or have a relationship with Him and that’s okay. He is where this whole tithing and charity donation thing started.

Today, most of the wealthiest people in the world tithe. The truth is it feels good to give, to contribute to a cause or greater good.

When we give away money with a cheerful and grateful heart it comes back, sometimes double or triple what you gave.

Do you ever wonder why the wealthy give so much of their money away? It’s because they know the law of giving to get or reciprocity.

I mentioned before that a closed fist cannot receive anything. So when you hear a call for a donation, give it with as much love and gratefulness as you can muster. Then forget about it, go away with the feeling of joy.

You don’t have to start out big, a couple of dollars to start with, but don’t stay in that range. Increase your giving and watch your bank account grow.

If you don’t have money to give (right now) give away your time or that extra coat, book, or toy. Get in the habit of giving and watch it come back to you in triplicate.
