Charity - Why PROPER Giving Promotes Prosperity
Ever notice how much ridiculous money is spent on, and paid to,
entertainers?
Think about sports stars... millions of dollars per year is paid to
them for entertaining us:
For hitting a ball into a small hole... $80.3 million. For driving
a race car... $80 million. For putting a ball into a ring suspended in
the air... $35 million. As a society, are we crazy?! I would have to say...
absolutely YES.
Take a look at the table below. It shows some ridiculous salaries paid
to sports stars. They have to be laughing all the way to the bank (the
ones that aren't laughing... are so arrogant, that they actually believe
they deserve that type of pay)!
Why?
They provide NO REAL VALUE to the human race, or to this world (how
could sports be directly beneficial to mankind?).
If you think they do, then you are a brainwashed, true consumer, who
is idolizing what the entertainment industry wants you to. Thanks to you,
they fatten their pockets from every event because you are willing to spend
your money.
Now, what I want you to think about is proper giving... charity.
Why is it that someone is paid $80 million per year
to put a ball in a hole, when researchers looking for a cure for cancer
can be paid so little... and have to ask for research/grant money to do
their work?
Answer: our society's wrongful mentality.
Basically, we focus or put too much emphasis on the wrong things.

As you become more financially successful, you have a true responsibility...
That responsibility is to give back to proper causes.
Even most of the people in the table above give back (and they should
with that type of pay).
Anyway, you will need to support proper causes, the right organizations,
and good people.
Why?
Because proper giving promotes growth of positive things.
When the positive things start growing... everyone will benefit.
And in case you are unaware, I am going to let you in on a secret...
a "law" of this universe... when you give back properly (freely, truely
without expecting things in return)... this world has a way of returning/giving
back, more to You, than you gave back!
I cannot explain why this happens, but it does.
And just the opposite... if you are greedy and take/steal/lie/cheat,
this "law" reverses itself and the world including people and events, takes
from you.
Do Not give to any organization that promotes destruction or negative
causes.
Do Not support people who are lazy, full of excuses, or have a negative
mindset.
Do Not provide any monetary support without knowing how it will be
used.
