I was in a nice, quaint restaurant the other evening, with some business associates. It’s a very intimate place that serves Cuban Fusion food and has some of the nicest decorations and artwork I’ve ever seen.
The place also has a piano. And we were fortunate enough to be blessed with live piano music during our dinner.
We were there for several hours, and many dinner parties had already come and gone. As we got ready to leave, I decided to take a detour over by the piano player to thank her and to put a tip in her jar sitting on the top of her piano.
I was surprised, though, to find that only one dollar was in the jar. After the hours she had spent playing, there was only one dollar in there?
I’ve played in coffee bars and clubs before, and I know the amount of practice one has to spend to get ready for gigs like this and to stay sharp on their instrument. So I wanted to thank her for that and put several dollars in her jar. She was very grateful and appreciative.
From my experiences in performing live, I remembered that I would always put a dollar in the tip jar just to get the flow started… sort of like priming the pump. So I was wondering if the single dollar that was in her jar when I came up to her piano was from her priming the pump? And then I thought…
This is what entertainers do… they put a dollar in the jar to prime the pump. To start the flow.
So… do you prime your prosperity pump? You can start the flow today through the very simple act of every day giving.
Blessings!
