WEBVTT - Create occasions for sharing

0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:16.920
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>tip is to create occasions for sharing. When you can

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>engineer some abundance into your life so you can share

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:34.239
<v Speaker 1>your abundance with others, It might be easier than you think, so.

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I recently heard of a couple who bought two extra

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>season tickets to their local college basketball team's games. The

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>upside of that decision was that they could always invite

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>people to join them. They had a ready option for

0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>suggesting a get together with anyone they met or knew

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>but wanted to get to know better. If the new

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>neighbors mentioned watching a game on TV, they could invite

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>them to go with them to a live event. If

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>someone had them over for dinner, they could reciprocate by

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>offering them the seats. They consciously generated a surplus and

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>thus created occasions for sharing. I think this is a

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>great idea for nurturing relationships now. To be sure, getting

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 1>extra season tickets anywhere could be pricey, but there are

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>lots of cheaper ways to generate abundance that can then

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>be shared. I bought a few extra tickets to the

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>middle school musical, so my daughter could ask friends to

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.119
<v Speaker 1>go along. You can get season tickets to some local

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>venue just for you and your significant other, knowing you

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.960
<v Speaker 1>won't be able to use them for a certain number

0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>of weeks, but that will nudge you to actively look

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 1>for people to pass those along to. Gardeners tend to

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 1>generate a b abundance, whether they want to or not.

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>There's that joke about people locking their cars in certain

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 1>small Midwestern towns, so neighbors don't leave bags of zucchini

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>on their seats. You can make extra loaves of bread

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>if you're baking, or extra cupcakes. Someone will be glad

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to have them. If you are renting a house at

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>the beach for a week or two, you might get

0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>an extra bedroom beyond what you need, so you can

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.799
<v Speaker 1>invite friends, relations, and so forth to come for a

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 1>night and enjoy the vacation destination with you. The idea

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>is to look for fairly easy ways to generate some

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>sort of desirable surplus. Now, perhaps people don't truly want

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>your extra zucchini, but a bag of homegrown, in seasoned

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>tomatoes or farm fresh eggs from your chickens is an

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>entirely different matter. If you are a fan of a

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>team or a destination, people might enjoy catching some of

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>that enthusiasm from you. Creating an abundance allows you to

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:17.640
<v Speaker 1>share it, so why not look for opportunities in the meantime.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:22.960
