delicious smell and warmth, she pours the liquid down the drain. Katie says that she wants her daughter to know what it's like to experience the luxury of always having plenty to eat or drink in the house and being able to "waste" something. She believes that this teaches Francie what it would feel like not to be pinching every penny, afraid of squandering anything.
I'm not suggesting that you become wasteful, but I do want you to appreciate the wealth you have and create the emotions of gratitude and abundance about it. Think about whether your fear that there isn't "enough" in the world blocks you from truly enjoying your riches. Do you appreciate your warm, safe home ... or do you continually feel bad that someone else is without such a nice place to live? Feeling guilty does absolutely nothing to help anyone else create abundance. Experiencing appreciation and gratitude, however, will turn up the volume on your other positive feelings and allow you to tap into the Divine source of creativity, and you'll be inspired to find ways to share your wealth with others.
There are many ways to channel the flow of plenitude so that it rushes into the lives of other people. You can give to charity, engage in a service project in your community, and take advantage of opportunities to help others. There are wonderful microfinancing organizations dedicated to lending money to entrepreneurs all over the world who have a great idea, enthusiasm, a business plan, and a willingness to build upon whatever capital they receive. When they succeed, they pay back the loan with interest so that someone else can have the resources to make their own dream of increasing abundance come true. Often these entrepreneurs need only a few hundred dollars to get started or to grow their businesses. People who want to help can contribute as little as $25.
We tend to think that we need an enormous amount of resources to create wealth, but that simply isn't true. It doesn't matter how much we have at the moment, because we can always grow it. Ultimately, there will always be "enough" for us and for everyone else. Once we let go of the idea that in order to feel affluent instead of lacking, we must have a checking account with an enormous sum of cash available to us, we start to discover all the other wonderful resources available to us.
