I'm merely pointing out the fact that sometimes the ideas we accept as truth can be revised, and we can experiment with new ideas and theories to find ways of being that work for us. The idea I'm proposing may be counter intuitive to everything you believe, and I can understand as I once was of the opinion that the more you clung to your assets, the more you would accumulate. I have changed this attitude through self reflection and stud- ying Buddhist philosophy and meta- physics. After my learning and applying the principals, I have personally found that the more I give away, the more I receive. Now I know the argument here is: My aunt Martha didn't give away a cent in her life, and she died a wealthy woman! And I get it. The trick here is, you don't have to give away money. In order to receive abundance, you need to give abundance. Think of Newtons law; every action has an equal and opposite (Continued on page 57)

DID YOU KNOW ……. How many babies are born each day. It is difficult to come to the exact number of births every day since not all births are registered or recorded. The UNICEF estimates that an average of 353,000 babies are born each day around the world. The crude birth rate is 18.9 births per 1,000 population or 255 births globally per minute or 4.3 births every second (as of Dec. 2013 estimate)Our current world population is approximately 7.2 billion and growing. It passed the 7 billion mark in 2011. It is expected to reach between 8 to 10 billion by 2050 64 THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER MAY 2015 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
