Have you ever wanted to give back, but been at a loss for what to give or how to give?

Try asking yourself this question:

What do you have in abundance?

Or:

Where are you abundant in your life?

Take a moment to think about how you would answer these questions.

Abundance

Last week, I joined with the ladies of my Women’s Wealth Group in a brief discussion of abundance. Here are just a few of the things we listed:

• Smiles
• Hugs
• Flowers
• Books
• Energy
• Time

The follow up question was then: What can you give? Well, when you put it that way, I have a lot to give! And who doesn’t love to give or receive a smile? Or a hug? Or your energy?

I loved this way of backing into a discussion on giving. We all have a lot more to give than we think we do. Often because we’re thinking in terms of money! Why don’t we start by thinking about what we have in abundance?

An Example of Abundant Giving

Later that night, I was watching CBS Sunday Morning, which I had recorded. One story was a perfect follow up to our conversation about abundance.

I’m not sure what Jim O’Connor was thinking when he decided how he was going to give. However, he found two wonderful things that he has in abundance.

Jim O’Connor has blood and love in abundance. And what a beautiful way he has decided to give back.

Tell me below, what do you have in abundance? How can you share that with someone who might need it?
