Some call stockpiling money being frugal when you are fortunate enough to make a lot of it. Especially if you are fortunate enough to do so during a period of national recession.
When it comes to celebrities who are paid millions for their faces on film in one form or another and don’t freely share their wealth with the world, what would you call it?
Those celebs who follow the philosophy of abundance understand that by living simple lives materially and allowing wealth to pass freely through them into the world for the benefit of others, more abundance will surely follow. They are believers who have complete faith that the flow of abundance will never end.
And they are, as a result, true recipients of the amazing benefits of abundance through the law of attraction.
Other celebs who hold on tight to their wealth are actually hoarding money, robbing the world of beautiful blessings.
The richest of the rich who think that they are “abundant” when they throw a few million here or there – as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie frequently do – but still cling to the majority of their wealth, are actually embracing scarcity beliefs with the hoarding of such wealth, rather than having faith in true abundance.
These millionaires believe they are abundant in their giving, but in reality they aren’t in the least.
They’re hoarding because they don’t trust the flow of abundance to always continue, and therefore feel they have to stockpile a big bunch of money “for a rainy day” when the universe stops flowing.
That isn’t abundance at all.
Abundance is about us having faith that by allowing wealth to pass through us, the universe will continue to bring more wealth to us.
What celebrities are too busy fearing scarcity and hoarding their wealth?
For starters, the following:
Jay Leno who is quoted as saying, “”When I was a kid … I had one job which the money went in the bank and the other job that I lived off of,” he said in 2004.
“I still do that to this day. I have yet to touch a dime of my Tonight Show salary. I live off the money I make as a comedian … Maybe it comes from having parents who grew up during the Depression.”
No, it comes from being selfish and not believing in abundance.
Here’s a man with a huge fleet of cars and motorcycles. A TV icon who was shamed into offering to cover the salaries of laid off staff members during the writers’ strike after Conan O’Brien came forward first with the idea, making Leno the focus of a lot of bad press as a result.
Hardly a “from the heart” gesture on Leno’s part, if you know what I mean.
Richard Dreyfuss, the actor we all know and love, sued an uncle and his own father over a loan he made to them back in 1984. The loan and interest on it have thus far remained unpaid. Reportedly, he wants full repayment of the loan, plus interest and punitive damages.
Dreyfuss is an Academy Award winner, an actor with a lucrative career that practically runs a mile long. Yet here he is, demanding that his own dad repay him money he loaned him, what, 25 years ago? Money he couldn’t possibly need after all the acting he’s done in movies since the late ’60’s.
And to also charge that his father and uncle have acted with “fraud” and “malice?” Amazing what money will do to some people.
Eva Longoria was a popular actress on “Desperate Housewives.”
According to Wallet Pop, her wedding in 2007 reportedly cost $1.5 million, but this star still scored a lot of freebies to give to her 200 guests: Van Cleef & Arpel 18K yellow gold charm bracelets, and L’Oreal, Cole Haan, and Bebe products were a few.
She says the ‘frugal gene’ runs in her family, explaining that her dad would take her and her three siblings camping with no food. “
He would tell us that we could live off the land. I can skin a deer, a pig, a snake … “
How desperate a hoader has she become?
Dave Grohl, ex-Nirvana drummer who brought together and formed Foo Fighters is another serious hoarder.
“You can’t take your lifestyle for granted,” 39-year-old Grohl said in a 2003 interview. “I’ve got tons of money, but I’m afraid to spend it. Knowing I don’t even have a high school diploma to fall back on, I’m going to be really careful with what I’ve got.”
So while he has a large house with a recording studio in Los Angeles, Grohl is not likely to end up bankrupt like some of his musical brethren. He also isn’t likely to ever experience the blessing of abundance through giving to help his fellow man.
Other Hollywood hoarders include Tyra Banks, Mick Jagger, Tobey Maguire, Teri Hatcher, Jerry Seinfeld – to name just a few.
The rest of us can feel satisfaction from the fact that we give openly and freely to others in our daily lives, even though we may not have much.
Remember, in terms of psychic awareness and how we live our lives on a daily basis: Abundance isn’t about how much we have to give, but how freely we give it.
The Universe will respond in kind, giving back to us exactly the same.
Psychic awareness will teach you that. So will learning to read ordinary playing cards by the Personal Prophesy method. I use this system in all of my readings – for others and myself.
You will learn the difference between scarcity and abundance in your life from these readings, I promise you!
