I Started Giving Money Away—Now I’m Wealthier Than Ever
Generosity strengthened my relationship with money.
I used to have a scarcity mindset when it came to money. Every dollar I earned felt like something I had to protect, save, and hold onto tightly.
I would think carefully before spending my money because I was afraid I wouldn’t make enough. So, I had to save it.
Ironically, despite my efforts to save, I never really felt abundant. I constantly worried about money, stressed about expenses, and anxious about earning enough.
I stumbled upon a TikTok video that said that the best way to make more money is to give it away. At first, I thought it was some woo-woo concept for getting your video viral.
However, I’ve always heard from entrepreneurs and the ultra-successful people that giving is receiving. Tony Robbins famously said, “The secret to living is giving.”
I didn’t even know what that meant.
Another quote that has stuck with me for a long time is:
“You get what you give.”
Again, I had no clue what that meant and how it would actually work.
