Random Acts of Kindness are cool, but they aren’t Contribution. True Contribution in POCland revolves around connecting deeply with others (See Step Three for the goods on this part of the game). It’s not about being kind to others randomly, rather it’s about enhancing someone’s life in a way that is meaningful to them. It’s about getting into the world of another, and really understanding what they are working on that is important in their eyes. Armed with that level of information, now you have the power to contribute with gusto.

Random Acts of Kindness have a wonderful place in life. So if that’s your thing, great. And, we encourage to spice it up with a little POC action here and there. It’s a great way to quantum leap your kindness quotient.

One of the coolest things about the Power of Contribution is that it doesn’t matter how well you – or the person you are playing with – actually plays. In fact, it’s really cool to play with people who have no idea what you are doing. Playing the game in daily life is about YOU gaining mastery – no matter the situation.  The skill of the other player is of no consequence to your results. Why? Because when you give to others, they will want to give back. And even if they don’t, you’ll enjoy what we call Universal Reciprocity; the joy of receiving good fortune from those that you have yet to contribute too. Cool eh?

Winning this game is about winning in life. And the best part is that you play with anyone, anywhere, anytime!

Ben sent this message to Thach and I. I thought it would be wonderful to share with you.

Thach and I would also like to know what you have learned.

Ben says…
“So far… this is what I have learned from Thach and from Mathew

(This is what I am practicing daily)
1. Manifest: (set an Intention):
Clearly and specifically, expecting to receive, say what you want and need, and write it.!
2. Keep doing what you are doing: (Play the Contribution Game):
Uplift, advocate, contribute to others; sincerely help them. (place own agenda on hold)
3. Forget about “how.?” (We come from plenty, thus give plenty)
Others will want to know what I am up to.
4. Tell all what I am manifesting: (what do I want, what do I need)
Remember number 2. Others do not care what I know, until they know I care.
5. Connect Deeply: (We all have very similar needs, wants and desires)
Total and complete acceptance of all people, at all times, in all places, including me.
6. Play the perfect game: (WE are ALL CONNECTED)
Whatever is offered, take it
Whatever is suggested, do it
Whatever happens declare it PERFECT AS IS.
7. Ride the waves: (Have lots of fun.!)
Learn to love the experience, do not put life on hold.
8. It never looks like you thought it would look like, it’s always better.
(I am given what I need, not what I want) Be in the moment of excitement
9. Show gratitude: (To get more… give more)

We rise to our highest pure aspirations… we fall down to our lowest bane desires. Show gratitude.

Grab a dictionary and you’ll find several definitions for “contribution”. In our world, there’s one that fits best: “to play a significant part in bringing about an end or result for another.”

This is the essence of what the Power of Contribution Game is all about. By learning the steps, and mastering the process, you’re life will change in ways you can only imagine.

Ease, grace, good luck, good fortune, miracles – call it what you will – the bottom line is in playing the game, you’ll bring about new results for yourself and for others. And when you are super clear about what you are intending in your life (see Step One of the Game) it’s like having a short cut to your dreams!

So, learn the steps, play the game, and being to gain mastery. We think you’ll see that playing daily helps define an amazing way to live.
