Seeking Freebies: you get what you pay for

I find it interesting when people seek something for nothing. No, I’m not referring to free product samples of shampoo, or appetizer samples handed out freely in the grocery store aisles.

I’m referring to people who purposely try to get a valuable service or product…without paying for it.

Maybe because your neighbor is a hair stylist, you begin going to her salon because you think she might cut your hair free of charge. Or your coworker is an artist and you ask her to do a portrait for your parent’s anniversary, expecting a large discount (or even freebie). Or you meet a lawyer at a party and begin soliciting free legal advice. Or an acquaintance is a tarot reader and you contact her to ask for advice, hoping she’ll offer a free reading.

What’s the problem with these situations? You are expecting something for nothing.

Money is a form of energy, just like everything else in our world. And with all forms of energy, there needs to be a balance in some way. By trying to get these products/services for free, you are in essence telling the universe that they are not worth paying for. When you don’t see value in something, you will receive nothing valuable from it.

I’m not referring to someone being truly in need of help. I’m referring to those who can pay, but choose not to.

Just like that old saying, “you get what you pay for.” — You also get back what you put out into the universe. If you give nothing, you will likely get nothing in return. Even if you do recieve products and services for free, they will mean nothing to you. You won’t appreciate them. They won’t add anything of value to your life.

Here’s how to keep positive energy flowing in your life. Be generous. Be giving. Be kind and compassionate. Give of yourself as often as possible. Expect to pay for anything of value, pay well for it, and pay gladly. Respect the time and expertise of those who can provide a product or service for you. Understand that their time and attention has value. Be glad that you can exchange money for something you perceive to have value.

If someone gladly OFFERS a freebie, certainly you can take advantage of it. But don’t expect it. Don’t seek it.

Let the energy of abundance come into your life, AND flow out in equal measure. That is a true blessing. :-)
