P. 61
Recently, I received an e-mail from someone who seemed angry and unhappy, and she was basically saying, "You're so successful already. Why don't you just give away all your programs and books for free instead of trying to make more and more money?" From the tone of her e-mail, I suspect that she was feeling envious of me because she didn't realize that she can be just as affluent as I am. Perhaps she feels that if I have a lot and she has only a little, it must be because I'm taking something away from her or from a limited pool of abundance. What she doesn't understand is that she can have what I have, and she and I are both entitled to fair compensation for the value we give.
Rather than comparing our earnings with others' or trying to second-guess whether someone else is giving more than we are, we can adopt wealth consciousness: an understanding that riches flow in and out of all of us. This allows us to let go of fear and judgment and focus on maintaining our own balance of giving and receiving. We can be so quick to judge others, saying, "Look at her, wasting all that money on that luxury item!" No good can come of negatively judging others. So what if you have the money to shop at Neiman Marcus and you buy clothes at Kmart, or if someone else has a low income but chooses to splurge on a pair of shoes at Neiman Marcus? Every one of us is responsible for our own balance of giving and receiving and for offering value unconditionally, and it's not up to us to police anyone else. The more we practice wealth consciousness, the more we inspire others to do so.
My question to anyone who feels lack and envy is this:
"What can y.Qu do to foster a feeling of abundance and to give value unconditionally?"
People who feel wealthy and blessed and who bring value to their jobs regardless of their pay let the Universe know that they're ready to receive even more wealth. They may get a raise or an unexpected windfall, or they could attract the attention of someone who wants to hire them for a better job. As I drove away from that parking garage, I thought about how much value and enthusiasm that gentleman brings to his work if he is able to deal with grumpy customers all day long and by early evening still have joy to share with others.
