How do we get from selfishness to bestowal? In two ways:
- Blows. Nature will give us blows in our health, in our personal lives, in our social lives, at work, in our communities and in our physical environments. These blows aren't blows in a negative sense, they're clarion calls sent from above to get us to return to The Creator and the quality of bestowal as quickly as possible. These blows help us cry out to The Creator for help because He's the only one who can help us.
- The influence of our social environment. Our social environment has a big influence on us. If we create a social environment that sets examples of how to benefit others instead of ourselves, it will influence us to be in bestowal instead of selfishness.
