Take Charge by Giving

Do you feel overwhelmed with what is happening in the world? This mindset is not good for you or for anyone else or for your ability to perform as a trader. It is important to take charge if you want to make a difference to help those who are in desperate need of your help. Focus on what you can do as a trader. You might not be in a position to be on the ground or have the ability to work first hand with people who are hurting, but you do have the ability to earn money in the markets. So with this talent you can make a difference. With just as much determination, care and generosity, focus on: Following your rules to earn money so you can afford to be generous and give. If you have not reached the point of earning a living at trading, then it is your job to overcome any of the obstacles that are in your path. If you are earning a healthy income from trading, then it is your responsibility as a citizen of this planet to help others in need. It is your job to be in the best physical, mental and spiritual shape to earn as much profit as your strategy will allow. This will then allow you to give a percentage of your earnings above your basic needs to those who are going through difficult times. What does not help anyone is:

• Feeling helpless
• Worrying
• Looping conversation of how terrible things are without taking action to make a difference

What does help is:

• Being the best you can be at what you do
• Praying or meditating for peace of mind and for others
• Sending money to those who are actively involved
• Finding organizations that make a difference and where you too can make a difference

It's not always the big things You may think to make a difference you have to do big things, and therefore, very often you end up doing nothing. But even the small things you do in your daily life can make a tremendous difference for you and for others, such as:

• Acknowledging people with a smile
• Remembering to say please and thank you
• Recycling that bottle, picking up trash even though it's not yours
• Having a positive attitude
• Being there to listen

Conclusion When a trader is in a prosperity conscious state of mind, he is also in the state of mind where he feels he can afford to be generous. Even a $10 donation can make a difference to not only others in need, but to you as well. Opportunity flows towards those who are generous.
