And he goes and plays with it, and he messes with it, and he slams it into other toys, and complains about how it's not the one that he wanted. And then when it's time to go eat, he leaves his toys all over the place, right? Say that's child A. Child B might be the exact, blue might be the favorite color.

Red, red, sorry, blue might be the favorite color, and they might like cars more than they like trucks, right? But you give it to him and he says, thank you. And he goes and plays with it and he plays with it nicely. And when another kid comes up, he shares, oh, can I play with your toy? Yeah, here you go. And the other kid was like, the kid comes up, he's like, no, this is my truck, right?

He's like, yeah, you can play with it. Then when it becomes time to go to dinner, they take their toys and they put them away. If you had the option, the next time you have a toy, who would you give it to? You'd give it to the kid who took care of it, right? Was grateful, appreciated it. Shared it, took care of it, was a good steward of it.

Now imagine we flip that and God is the one who has the toy. The toy is money and it's either your person A or your person B. Most people, when they get their paycheck, I was this person for years. I get my paycheck and be like... It's still not enough. It's not enough. And I'm literally, from the moment I see my paycheck, bringing in negative energy towards money.

And I'm like, it's still not enough. It's not as much as I want. I don't know if I could pay my bills with this. This is crap. And then what do I do? I share it with anybody? I don't give anybody any of that money and I hoard it. Do I take care of it? No, I complain about I don't have enough. I don't enjoy it. I don't share it. I waste it. I buy stupid stuff.

And then you see on the other side, someone who gets their paycheck. And this is a big thing that I changed in myself like seven years ago. Anytime that I would get a payment, because what's cool about building business online is you can get payments at random times. I would get a payment and I realized that I was for the longest time child A. I would complain about not having enough money.

The amount of times my bank account was overdrafted over, like I didn't even have zero dollars. I had negative dollars in my bank account many times in my life, you know? And I switched it to every time I started seeing a payment come in, I would go close my eyes and I would say, and I'd see the person's name and I would say, John, thank you so much.

God, thank you so much for bringing this into my life. I hope that I can make some sort of transformation. And I just wanted to bring that energy to it. And then I started changing to try to be more like child B where then I started sharing it more.

And I realized that the more that I share it, the more that I'm grateful for it, the more that I take care of it, the more that I learn about how to be smart with my money, the more I've been trusted with more. And I think that's the difference is that most people go on the path of child A and I was there for a very long time.

And I went to child B, which is I'm going to be grateful for whatever comes in. If I see a penny on the floor, I'm going to pick it up because if I can't be trusted with a little, I can't be trusted with a lot. I'm going to pick it up. I'm going to put it in my pocket and say, thank you for giving me this universe. I appreciate it. I appreciate the small amounts.
