The Universal Favor Bank
The Universal Favor Bank, where favor deposits are made to the favor bank without expectation of
repayment. The Universe (God, the Source, the Divine, the One, the Spirit, the Creator, the Supreme Being, All-That-Is) will repay the
favor with interest when the account holder needs it.
'Miracles' due to the Favor Bank Principle by Phil Evans.
The Favor Bank is the most important aspect of our lives which allows us to create abundance
in every area of those very important lives if we are truly living. Ignoring the Favor Bank
brings people to a stand still, but they don't know why because it just seems so obtuse or too esoteric
to most people!
I read the article on the
The Maverick Spirit
with absolute amazement because I became so aware that my personal alignment with this principle of life
is so strong, and the story related to how I think, feel and act in my own life.
I'd like to share some of that proof with you by way of a shameless, exciting snapshot of just one week in the life of
Phil Evans.
But first, a brief overview of the past few years ....
Around 5 years ago I was in the depths of depression; anger due to self-pity; and quite emotionally
immature. I made the choice to not suicide, even though that feeling was overwhelming at times,
and to go out and help others who were in need of support, help and understanding. Life has
taught me that I made a very good decision in those times of shaky uncertainty for me!
I started writing inspirational emails to 18 friends and family, that now go to thousands each week.
That is such a fulfilling part of my life, and has led to hundreds of 'miracles' due to the Favor
Bank Principle. Through that medium, I now counsel and mentor people all over the world via email,
as they have chosen to reach out to someone who really cares about them .... without any other agenda.
About three years ago I started
People Stuff, which is a Newcastle-based
business with a website containing about 4,000 inspirational articles now.
For the past three years I have been working with long-term unemployed groups and a variety of
community-based groups of less-than-fortunate people; running Personal Empowerment Courses;
and spending many hours each week 'planting seeds'. That term can really be translated into
'making deposits into the Favor Bank'. Relentlessly making deposits .... knowing that one day,
in some way, the rewards would flow into my life in abundance!
My inspirational emails have led directly, and indirectly, to the following experiences in my life.
I'm going to summarise this last week in point form and call it - "A Small World - and a Big Week"
Last weekend I was appointed as CEO of a global group of business leaders known as The Rattle The Cage Group,
and one of my first roles is to form a Foundation which will allow us to pour money into worthwhile global projects
for less-than-fortunate people.
On Monday I received an email from Brian Proctor (son of Bob Proctor - the US/Canada-based Motivational guru)
telling me that he had picked one of my stories as a feature article that would go out on Friday to tens of
thousands of people. That story is called "Who's Driving Your Bus"?
On Tuesday I was invited to meet with a Perth-based businessman at Sydney airport on Thursday.
Brian Galbraith who is the owner of Optimise International (and one of the Founding Members of Rattle
The Cage) flew into Sydney for what I thought was going to be a simple "howdy" get together. Wrong!
Brian was there to actually offer me the position of CEO in his organisation. I accepted on the spot!
Friday rolled around with me still spinning with excitement. Humbled and honoured were certainly feelings
that were paramount in how I actually felt .... but I was pumped! You and I then had a conversation which
confirmed that I would join you on your "Blast into 2006" Australian Tour in Jan/Feb next. What a way to end
the week! Could there be more?
Now it's Saturday and the results of the Bob Proctor email send-out are very evident in the form of hundreds
of emails from almost every country in the world. Business offers; personal requests for help; congratulatory
words of brilliance; requests for mentoring .... the list goes on.
WHAT A WEEK OF RETURNS FROM THE DEPOSITS INTO THAT INCREDIBLE BANK ....
The Favor Bank certainly pays the best dividends imaginable.
