How to Scare Greedy People Away
How I expose fakes, flakes and frauds with generosity, and enjoy connection, inner peace and prosperity
The act of being generous is sometimes taken advantage of and is sometimes misunderstood.
The courage to be generous is thwarted when trusted teachers, mentors, guides, and others in leadership roles take from others who are counting on them for assistance, guidance and support.
When people take an idea, personal effort, money, or physical labor from their students, mentees, colleagues, employees, citizens, etc. that causes great harm. Narcissists take from others. They value themselves and are usually unable to understand that stealing other people’s work is abuse, emotional and otherwise. One example is when an “authority figure” belittles another for their skills, looks, demeaner, whatever— usually to intimidate, as they see opposite, different, opposition, or unworthy of them.
Cruelty is an effort to keep another silent and distant, which helps the “taker” control, divide and conquer. Bait-and-switch or other unethical tactics are a reflection of weak minds-hearts and spirits. Corruption happens when insecure people are entrusted with a role and then they take from another for personal gain. They are needy and greedy.
Negativity comes back to the origin in some form. Illness, death, destruction, divorce, breakdown, accidents, job loss, bankruptcy—harm will be repeated. A habit, a cycle, a movement requires growth to new frontiers. “It is always darkest before the dawn”…
Inner exploration can grow peace and prosperity. Shine your light— true fortune can never be taken by another. Ask and All is given by you, sister and brother. We can heal and help another.
Wildlands guides people out of the plethora of propaganda paths which are confusing and exhausting. My mission is to teach through stories that restor-e/ restory me.
I listened to my intuition out of self-respect. Then doubting myself and suffering. Then, restoried/ restored self.
I meditated on my choices and found that serving others is valuable to me, whether it be siblings, colleagues, fathers or mothers. The All— animals, nature and humans- to me, are all sisters and brothers. Healing harm is the charm. Start with self and work your way outward. Love self first, breaks the evil curse. Courage is invited to some uncomfortable events in one’s life. To know yes or no to ‘opportunity’, is the question.
One example is when I turned down an opportunity to assist the owner of a publishing company. She had just fired everyone and was starting anew at 70 years old. A coincidence led to a job offer by a rich, famous, “successful” person. They had their assistant contact me after receiving a card and flowers that were hand delivered on their birthday. Her assistant offered me her job because she found another opportunity. She was moving on- leaving a ‘great opportunity’ and offering it to me. She’s working with someone who is famous for healing. They must be good to work for, I pondered quickly and asked, “Why are you leaving?” She fumbled for an answer. I already knew why. I was asking her to be authentic. She answered without telling me much. She was mistreated, unseen, under-valued and it was time to go tend to her trauma.
I turned it down. Opinions of others were, “accept the offer”. They were amazed that I didn’t take the job. “You turned down working with so-and-so? They healed me. I didn’t have this or that and they provided it for me.”
Good for you— Do what is right for you.
I said no to the ‘opportunity’ because it was right for me. The valuable intuitive guidance is what turned out to be good, true and the right thing to do.
Years after saying no to an ‘opportunity’, I learned that the person had stolen the work of another organization and claimed it as their own. They wrote, published several books, held workshops, spoke at events and built their own empire with stolen work and claimed it was theirs. And, I also found out that they were abusive to several employees, not just to the assistant.
They were an international best-selling self-help publisher, author and speaker. Ironically, they did not walk their talk.
Dishonest and greedy people are not generous! They are liars, cheaters and thieves. They make millions telling you how to heal. They cause harm and don’t heal it.
What’s good, right and true?
Their meager, miserly, cowardly, corrupt self was exposed by my intuition. I tuned into my own self-worth and listened to my guidance.
Although, saying yes may have furthered my vocation, it would have been with the wrong people, for me. People tell you who they are and it is up to us to believe them. Decide whether you say yes or no to greedy people. Yes, and be ready for abuse. Or say no, and pioneer your own path. Sometimes the path is perilous to Know Thyself. Mine is Service to self and others.
Unscrupulous people have shown themselves to me over and over again. When I entangle with them, it is a disaster. They leave problems in their wake with no remorse, no mercy. When I avoid them, I have a much better chance to thrive.
I have discovered many takers/ greedy people— and, they eventually experience misfortune. For example, they got burnt out, injured, their creativity was blocked, they lost clients, lost their business, lost their health and well-being- they endured several set-backs, accidents, etc. Greed is dis-ease within one’s self. Stay clear of unaware, uncaring, and unethical within self. Clarity happens when one is relaxed and happy.
Therefore, listen to your intuition. Guidance from Something Greater than Ourselves is a gift. We must be present and participate with The Present. Rebelling against an Inner Knowing causes great harm.
It takes skills and courage, and clarity to concisely and precisely convey precious pearls of wisdom to empower and inspire people.
People are plagued with panic, fear, anger, and dis-ease. Would you like to shift paradigms? If yes— get out of your comfort zones.
This is an important public service announcement. Health, well-being and our connection with nature are interconnected. And, the buck stops with you.
Please read on for a cure to discomfort, disconnection and despair.
Positive actions, thoughts and deeds increase inner fortunes.
Generosity expands. Energy is the most efficient when it’s in a circular motion. You reap what you sow is one well known saying that describes this principle. When someone has given to you, give back to them, and, to further increase good fortune, pay it forward to others.
Inner peace is our path to freedom. Interconnection is liberating. Generosity is good for your health and well-being and increases with joy, wonder, awe and gratitude. Generosity is currency.
If you want to improve your life, be generous with others. The more you believe what you have to give is valuable, the better it feels. To increase the impact of generosity, it helps to know how your generosity is being used. When appreciated, you want to give even more.
I have empowered myself after being taken advantage of, by strengthening my sense of purpose and connection.
When I rebelled against my intuition, I did myself a diservice. I paid a high price for my learning. In other words, I exerted more effort than necessary. I went out of my way to punish myself.
And, from the “unfertile soil”, I grew my resilience. I learned the hard way a few times. I resonate with organic, holistic healing. Inner reflection helps to uncover what ignites sabotage. Take responsibility for self— that is true wealth is beyond what money can buy. Be generous to self, listen to the signs, signals, silence of wisdom—and be sovereign.
Interconnection is the spice of life.
Other examples of generosity include nature. Nature gives us food, water, nourishment, shelter, recreation, beauty, inspiration and connection with Something Greater than Ourselves. Many humans take from nature and do not reciprocate.
You will reap the rewards that are simple, good and true, and wisdom cannot be taken from you. Nobody can take from you when you are secure in your own connection with Something Greater than Yourself.
Tell me, How can you increase your generosity? Do you love self? Are you serving others with your Gifts?

Very beautiful and simple confirmation, Rachel. I like your personal connection method, it’s authentic and simple.
I shared a true personal story. I turned down working with an international famous author-speaker-publisher who taught affirmations for health.
Some people wondered why I turned down working with one who was “rich and famous”??!! My intuition said no- it’s too complicated and it doesn’t feel right. I didn’t understand and I didn’t question it- so I turned them down.
Synchronicity of life, after a move to another State years later, I found out that it wasn’t even their work— they took it from another organization and sold it as their own. So, they believed in affirmations but not in themself. The mind struggles to confirm complicated and forced. Taking a “forced” path sets us up for conflicts- both within and in our lives. Simple and authentic is the way to peace and prosperity- and that is what I teach, too. Be authentic, it’s simple. “Forcing” thoughts and affirmations in which the mind may fight and find fault, is not healthy or a sign of wellness. Thank you for being you- the world needs you! XX
