| I don't know about you but I never understood | | | | or do you think you don't have? Have you ever |
| this verse in the Bible. Doesn't it seem a | | | | heard someone who proclaims that he can't |
| very unfair statement? Nobody could really | | | | actually do something great? |
| give me a satisfactory explanation, which | | | | |
| would change that view. That was until | | | | Just look around you and you'll find that |
| recently when I finally understood what I | | | | more than 80% of those who have achieved |
| think is its "true meaning." | | | | something in life think that "they have" and |
| | | | that "they can". Compare that with those |
| "To have" or "not to have" as meant by this | | | | people in life, who are really struggling, |
| verse doesn't necessarily mean tangible | | | | and you'll find that they feel they don't |
| wealth or possessions as most people who | | | | have and that they can't. |
| heard this verse thought, although it has a | | | | |
| bearing on whether you will keep tangible | | | | "To have" also means to recognize that "you |
| possessions or not. | | | | can," which is only possible because you have |
| | | | received unique skills and talents. |
| Rather it refers to an "attitude" as most | | | | |
| scriptures in the Bible do. The verse says, | | | | What this verse merely says and which is |
| that those who have, will receive more but | | | | confirmed by tangible reality is that your |
| those who don't have will lose even the | | | | attitude determines your reality. The only |
| little they have. Lets get a little practical | | | | way you can and will get and keep real wealth |
| here and see if I make any sense. | | | | is when you change your attitude. |
| | | | |
| What this means is you may not have tangible | | | | Those who do not have, as described by this |
| possessions and yet you may have more than | | | | verse are always complaining, about how |
| someone who has tangible wealth. Those who | | | | difficult things are. Don't you know people |
| have, acknowledge that they have received and | | | | who are like that? They are stingy and are |
| are therefore grateful. This feeling of | | | | often critical of others. They believe they |
| gratitude is reflected in the way they live | | | | owe nobody nothing and doesn't do anything |
| their lives. | | | | unless they get something in return. |
| | | | |
| People who have, often gives and helps | | | | The difference between those who have and |
| others, which is a sign that they have, | | | | those who don't have is this. Poor people |
| because in nature you can only share or leave | | | | want to receive tangible things such as |
| over for others when you have enough. People | | | | wealth and possessions first, before they |
| who are like this will receive even more. | | | | "recognize" that they have. |
| | | | |
| Everybody loves people who give, don't you? | | | | Unfortunately the Universe doesn't work that |
| We want to do things in return for them, | | | | way. You must first recognize what you have, |
| including wanting to do business with them. | | | | including your talents, your health, good |
| Let me give you a practical example. The most | | | | eyesight, hearing, good legs to walk with and |
| successful Internet marketers have realized | | | | use these, and only then will you receive the |
| that in order to sell, they have to give | | | | tangible things you seek such as wealth and |
| something away. Those who give the most away | | | | happiness. |
| are often the most successful. | | | | |
| | | | If you "don't have", it is perhaps because |
| If you are stingy and you want people to buy | | | | you don't have the attitude of those who |
| your products, but you are not prepared to | | | | have. That's why you constantly find that |
| give, then know that you won't last long no | | | | nothing seems to work for you. It is as if |
| matter how good your product is. | | | | there's a hole in your pocket. Even the |
| | | | little you make seems to just slip through |
| What is your attitude? Do you think you have | | | | these holes. |
