Most of us believe that money should be earned, saved, and invested, so we can use it in the future when we retire. While this is true, very few people know that the most meaningful reason for earning, saving, and investing money is to give it away. Giving away money is not only a generous gesture, but an act rooted in abundance -- the abundance we are all fortunate to share. 

When we believe that "My money is only my money," we are self-centered and become a closed system. In such a state, we prevent ourselves from doing miracles, such as saving lives, providing education for all, feeding the hungry, and healing the earth. 

When we believe that "My money is your money," we become an open system and allow the emergence of limitless possibilities for personal and social change, kindness, sharing, and love. 

Although we are not taught to share our money with others, we must learn to do it. Most of us don't earn enough money to meet our needs for food and shelter, education, and health care. When we share our monetary abundance with others, we help them improve their lives and experience abundance. We also help them realize that we all have more than we think we do. Empowered by this realization, we can change the world for the better. You and I. We and they. Together.
