Saving the World

by Randy Gage

I’m having a fantastic time working on my next book, Risky Is the New Safe. I’m exploring some fascinating topics, perhaps none more intriguing or controversial than selfishness as a virtue. This provides one of the most important lessons on success and prosperity you can ever learn. And it’s something them never taught you in Sunday school…


Your highest moral purpose must be your own success and happiness. 

If you see your main purpose in life as serving others, you have an extremely low opinion of yourself, don’t believe you are worthy, and will experience a tremendous amount of lack and limitation in your life. Not to mention you’re probably personally responsible for the founding of at least three Codependents Anonymous chapters!

Insanity is a lack of reason or good sense. We could certainly define it as unsoundness of mind rendering a person unfit to maintain a relationship or look after his or her own needs for emotional well-being and survival. People who spend their existence worrying solely about the needs of others and not themselves are not noble, benevolent, and spiritual. They are just crazy. To quote Melvin Udall, Jack Nicholson’s character from the movie, As Good As It Gets:

“Go sell crazy somewhere else; we’re all stocked up here.”

People who don’t look after their own needs first, really can’t help others in a healthy way. They can console them, participate in their drama, or enable their co-dependence, but they can’t offer them real, meaningful help.

Want to save the world? Great, it needs all the help it can get. Start by making sure your own needs are met first. Get the money thing out of the way. Get yourself in a position of strength – and you’ll be amazed how much good you can do!

Free Cheese

I’m down in Key West, finishing my book, so the posts may be sporadic this week. But Annie raised an issue on the last post that is worth addressing, and is actually part of the new book. And it leads to the real, bigger issue, which is what is the role of government?


In many places around the globe, we have crossed over a line that spells ominous trouble for the future…

The people who are receiving government assistance now outnumber the people who are producing and paying into the kitty. Government entitlement programs have run amuck. And once you provide an entitlement for someone, they begin to see it as their “right.” We’ve lost sight of one of the basic tenets of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. To quote Thomas Jefferson:

To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.

So now we have millions of people around the world who believe it is their government’s responsibility to provide sewers, roads, hospitals, airports, sports arenas, and hundreds of other infrastructure requirements better left to the private sector. They also believe they are now entitled to education, medical care, retirement plans, insurance, and prescriptions.
They believe they’re entitled to these things by virtue of the flag they were born under. As citizens, they believe it is their human right to receive these things free from the government (meaning taxpayer), and they’re not concerned with how they get paid for – as long as it isn’t by them.

The problem with all this soak-the-rich philosophy is it is in direct violation of the laws that govern prosperity. And, ironically, the real victims of this philosophy are actually the poor. They’re the last to get hired, the first to get laid off, the most in need of assistance, and the least likely to have the resources to deal with adversity.

Some of these economic theories would have you believe governments get to operate by a different set of rules than the rest of us. But they don’t. The prosperity principles for governments are no different than they are for people.

The only free cheese is in the mousetrap.

Tithing for Prosperity

Tithing for Prosperity

by Randy Gage

The Tithing Law of Prosperity

Tithing is a spiritual law dating back thousands of years. It is simply the action of giving back to the source of your spiritual sustenance. Usually this means your church, temple, mosque, or synagogue. The word tithe comes from Latin and means tenth. That’s why traditionally tithes are for ten percent.

Tithing is different from randomly sowing seeds or giving to charity. It is the way you acknowledge the source of your abundance and continue it in circulation.

I started tithing about 20 years ago when I began studying the laws of prosperity and I’ve been tithing ten percent of every dollar I’ve made since. Honestly, I began doing it out of fear. Now I tithe joyfully, lovingly, and gratefully.

You never know how your tithe will come back to you. Money is a pretty common way. But it could also come in the form of reconciliation with someone you’re estranged from, a gift, a new relationship, a healing, or a promotion. There are many ways your good can come back to you.

Here’s what I also believe. The universe will always get its tithe. You can do it voluntarily, or by force. But you always pay.

All those years I never tithed, I was always having my car break down, losing paychecks, having medical bills, and every other conceivable thing that kept me broke.

Remember, prosperity is about circulation. You have to keep your substance circulating, or it gets stagnant. When you tithe by choice, you invoke many of the other laws, including the law of giving and receiving, creating ripples of giving and abundance that eventually find their way back to you.

So what about you? Do you tithe or not – and how has that worked out for you?

Randy,

My husband and I tithe faithfully.God deserves his 10% and more. Love thie post!

Excellent Randy. Intention needs to be worked in here too. If you give your 10% thinking "I expect to get a good ROI!" like you're a demanding shareholder in God Inc., I suggest that is something different. That's an "investment." As with all investments sometimes they pay off and sometimes they don't. Do your due diligence.

If we tithe because that is a natural part of being in the energy of the Universe and we do it "joyfully, lovingly, and gratefully" confident it will be exactly what another part of the Universe needs then it seems to me we're in the spirit you're talking about. When you participate All That Is knows you're there and that's all you need to know.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard preachers push people to tithe because God would give them back a "hundred-fold." Something missing there, don't you think?
