I Dare You—Outgive the Universe

Read time: 4 minutes

A line keeps echoing in my mind ever since my mentor dropped it on me.

Try to out‑give the Universe. I dare you!!!”

Sure, we’ve all heard the variant of “give more and you’ll get more” from well‑meaning parents or cheesy motivational quotes.

But this? It hits differently.

Because it’s not about transactional giving—it’s about being when you give.

With that, today…

In just under 4 minutes, I’ll show you how to feel more fulfilled, create new opportunities, and turn ordinary moments into sacred ones—no matter how busy your Life is.

Let’s dive in.

1. It’s Not What You Give—It’s Who You Are When You Give

You can write a generous check, volunteer all day, or lend straightforward help—but if inside you're thinking:

“When is this my turn?” “I need to get something back.”

Then you’re actually giving from a place of needing.

True cosmic giving doesn’t keep score.

It doesn’t expect a return. It doesn’t think receipts. It just flows.

So the question isn’t how much you give. The question is, who are you while you give?

Now, before we continue. Let’s pause.

I know someone out there reading this is thinking:

“Julian, I work full-time. I manage the kids. I barely have time to breathe. How can I even think about ‘out‑giving’?”

I hear you.

I really do.

This isn’t about ignoring your exhaustion. It’s not about pretending you have unlimited capacity. It’s about coming back to the truth:

The moments where you feel like you have the least to give… are often the exact moments where giving changes you the most.

Not in the “give so you can get” kind of way.

But in the way that giving—conscious, heart-led, simple giving—fills the very thing you thought was empty.

You don’t need 2 free hours or a spiritual retreat.

You need ten intentional seconds.

That 30 seconds while the coffee brews? Send a text to someone you Love with no agenda.

That moment before bed? Let your kid ramble and don’t correct them.

That minute in the checkout line? Look the barista in the eye and ask how their day’s going—and actually listen.

This isn’t about giving more than you have.

It’s about giving from who you already are—when you let the noise drop.

We think giving means output. Effort. Sacrifice.

But the deepest kind of giving?

It’s presence.

And presence doesn’t require energy. It creates it.

So if you’re tired, worn, stretched—this isn’t a reason not to give.

It’s the exact reason why this kind of giving matters most.

Because when Life feels like it’s asking too much, showing up with just your attention becomes a revolution.

Start there.

You don’t need to out-give the Universe in one sweeping act.

Just start by out-giving your own patterns. Your own autopilot. Your own habit of tuning out.

That’s more than enough.

Let's continue.

2. ENERGY FIRST—NOT RESULTS

If your Life is feeling slow...

.... income low, luck scarce, people distant—what you need isn’t another strategy.

What you need is to become someone who naturally out‑gives.

Imagine transforming every interaction, every moment, every conversation you show up with:

  • Kindness without an agenda.

  • Listening without planning your response.

  • Generosity from your soul—not your wallet.

That’s how the Universe shifts. That’s how people change. That’s how momentum starts.

3. Give First, Grow Later

Here’s the paradox:

Giving more doesn’t immediately yield.

Sometimes the Universe doesn’t respond the same week—or the same month.

But giving recalibrates your identity.

You start seeing yourself as someone who gives. And with that identity shift, your actions and opportunities begin to follow.

  • Want more income? Become someone who creates value constantly.

  • Want deeper relationships? Become someone who serves deeply without attachment.

  • Want more Trust, more Faith, more Love? Become someone who speaks it & shares it.

BE the example.

4. A Simple Practice: Check In Before You Give

Whenever you’re about to give—whether it’s time. Money. Attention. Effort.

Check in first:

  • Am I giving because I want to matter? Or because I believe this matter matters?

  • Am I giving for validation? Or because it’s what this person needs?

  • Am I giving to fill a void? Or to overflow from a full cup?

If your giving feels heavy—it might be coming from the wrong place.

But if it's effortless, kind, spacious—keep going. You’re on route to out‑give the Universe.

5. Give. Wait. Watch. Repeat.

Out‑giving isn’t a transaction. It's a trajectory.

Maybe you help someone, and days later, they cancel.

Feel hurt? That’s fine. Reality is fluid.

What matters is:

  • You did choose humanity.

  • You did give from presence, not from skewed expectation.

  • You did speak with Love even when it cost a little bit of your comfort.

That’s not weakness. It’s alignment.

And maybe…. just maybe… what you give circles back in ways you never expected.

Maybe it doesn’t!

But again—not the point.

The point is, you showed up as the person you said you wanted to be.

And that’s the kind of alignment that doesn’t need proof. It is the very reward.

6. Your Invitation: Begin Today

I invite you to take 5 minutes right now:

Ask yourself…

“What’s one way I could give today—from Love, not longing?”

  • Maybe you offer help without asking.

  • Maybe you listen more than you speak.

  • Maybe you hold space. Maybe you encourage. Maybe you let go.

Then act.

Out‑give one small thing today—without wanting anything back.

Because out‑giving the Universe might feel like a risk sometimes.

But here’s what I know:

When you live as someone who out-gives, you don’t have to chase miracles—they start unfolding on their own.

You become the attractor. The container. The lighthouse.

So I’m daring you, my friend: try to out-give the Universe!!!

Because in that place, you’re aligning with a light bigger than strategy, bigger than doubt, bigger than fear.

You’re becoming the kind of person who claims their Life—not the other way around.

Thanks for reading!

Much Love Always,

Julian

PS. When you catch yourself in resistance—waiting, withholding, bargaining—pause. Ask: “Am I giving—or am I getting?”. Your answer reveals your next frequency.
