Abundance Flows to Contributors

This brings up an interesting point: people want to align themselves with others who are making great contributions. On the other hand, people do not want to partner with, create with, or give more to those who are known for taking more than they give. In fact, the tendency is to want to balance the scales and take back from those people (or organizations). For this reason, choosing to take rather than to give, fueled by the attitude that “he who has the most wins” or by the desire to gain as much as possible, regardless of the cost to others, is a shortsighted way to live. Those who do this end up devoting a lot of energy and resources to their “defense budgets.” They try to protect what they’ve gained and envy others who have more, rather than living with a sense of abundance, trusting that they will always have what they need.
