Be the magic you want to see in the world

When you go to the beach, do you take a small bucket, scoop out some water, take it back to your towel, and dip your foot in it? Of course you don’t.

If you won a lottery jackpot of $300,000,000, would you say, “I only want $6,000 of it.”? Of course you wouldn’t. Why would you settle for less than all of it?

Where in your life are you settling for less right now?

A friend posted on Facebook yesterday:
You have an endless supply of love. Spread that shit around like manure and watch all the beauty that grows.

The Universe is infinite. You can have it all.  But be careful.

Just as there is an endless supply of love, there can be endless rage. There is an infinite amount of money, but also infinite poverty.

Your intentions matter.

Small acts of kindness can cascade and multiply. They can have a huge impact. So can a small act of rudeness.

If you want more love, be more loving. Not from neediness, but because loving feels good. If you want money, be generous. Again, altruistically, not with an ulterior motive.

Pay someone a genuine compliment. Hold a door open for someone. Thank someone for holding the door open for you. Leave a generous tip. Paint rocks and leave them for others to find. Donate blood. Take your old towels to an animal shelter. Give to a worthy cause. Volunteer.

Start the ripple of positivity. Get the ball rolling. And watch (with gratitude) all the good things that come your way.

Be the magic you want to see in the world.
