The paradox here isn't merely that generosity returns abundance—it's that *the object of your attention shifts what you're measuring*. When chasing money, you're perpetually calculating the gap between what you have and what you need; when focused on giving, you're counting what flows through your hands, which feels infinite by comparison. A parent who stops obsessing over their salary and instead invests energy in their children's development often reports feeling wealthier, not because their bank account grew, but because they stopped using it as the scoreboard. Dyer's insight reveals that prosperity is partly an optical illusion created by which lens you're looking through.
