I recall an experience I had as a young father. I was trying to get one of the children to be more "sharing" with others. It came to me that sharing is not just difficult for children; it is also difficult for "adults" who are simply children in big bodies.
It also involves some very fundamental beliefs:
1. It is hard to share if you believe there isn't enough to share. Many folks simply believe that scarcity is the rule, causing them to want to "get theirs first" because there isn't enough to go around.
2. The opposite paradigm is to believe in "abundance"—that there is enough for everyone.
3. Then I remembered reading a very profound thought. You cannot give what you do not have. Therefore, possessing precedes giving!
I wish I knew as a young father what I know now. I probably would not have been so insistent of my children sharing, when perhaps they did not feel like they really "owned" what they were expected to share.
In Agel, I believe it is so important for us to take ownership of what it is we are trying to share. How can we be passionate advocates of our remarkable life changing products, if we do not "own" that knowledge through our own experience?
How can we talk about financial abundance if we really don't "own" that belief in our hearts?
How can we talk about Agel Cares, and the difference we are making in children's lives if we don't really own that conviction by contributing ourselves?
We simply can't give away what we do not have. Possessing always precedes giving.
When we live our lives this way, I believe we also experience an inner joy, a feeling of being aligned. What a compliment it was to Ghandi when someone said, "What Ghandi thinks, Ghandi says. What Ghandi says, Ghandi does.
I work everyday to become better in this area. I invite you to join me, and one at a time, person by person, we will make the world a better place for everyone.
Thanks for letting me share with you.
I am Craig Bradley. I am Agel.
