00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: tip is to create occasions for sharing. When you can

4
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: engineer some abundance into your life so you can share

5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: your abundance with others, It might be easier than you think, so.

6
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: I recently heard of a couple who bought two extra

7
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: season tickets to their local college basketball team's games. The

8
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: upside of that decision was that they could always invite

9
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: people to join them. They had a ready option for

10
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: suggesting a get together with anyone they met or knew

11
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: but wanted to get to know better. If the new

12
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: neighbors mentioned watching a game on TV, they could invite

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: them to go with them to a live event. If

14
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: someone had them over for dinner, they could reciprocate by

15
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: offering them the seats. They consciously generated a surplus and

16
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: thus created occasions for sharing. I think this is a

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: great idea for nurturing relationships now. To be sure, getting

18
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 1: extra season tickets anywhere could be pricey, but there are

19
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: lots of cheaper ways to generate abundance that can then

20
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: be shared. I bought a few extra tickets to the

21
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: middle school musical, so my daughter could ask friends to

22
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 1: go along. You can get season tickets to some local

23
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: venue just for you and your significant other, knowing you

24
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: won't be able to use them for a certain number

25
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: of weeks, but that will nudge you to actively look

26
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: for people to pass those along to. Gardeners tend to

27
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: generate a b abundance, whether they want to or not.

28
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: There's that joke about people locking their cars in certain

29
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: small Midwestern towns, so neighbors don't leave bags of zucchini

30
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: on their seats. You can make extra loaves of bread

31
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: if you're baking, or extra cupcakes. Someone will be glad

32
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: to have them. If you are renting a house at

33
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: the beach for a week or two, you might get

34
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: an extra bedroom beyond what you need, so you can

35
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: invite friends, relations, and so forth to come for a

36
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: night and enjoy the vacation destination with you. The idea

37
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: is to look for fairly easy ways to generate some

38
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: sort of desirable surplus. Now, perhaps people don't truly want

39
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: your extra zucchini, but a bag of homegrown, in seasoned

40
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: tomatoes or farm fresh eggs from your chickens is an

41
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: entirely different matter. If you are a fan of a

42
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: team or a destination, people might enjoy catching some of

43
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: that enthusiasm from you. Creating an abundance allows you to

44
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: share it, so why not look for opportunities in the meantime.
