With my charity Big Dreams For Kids, I believe the more you give

“With my charity Big Dreams For Kids, I believe the more you give, the more you receive.” Thus speaks Flo Rida, the artist whose words echo not merely from the stages of fame but from the deeper halls of human truth. Behind this simple saying lies one of the oldest laws of life — that giving is the secret rhythm by which the universe breathes, and that in pouring out kindness, we ourselves are filled. His words, though born from the heart of modern generosity, carry the same spirit that guided the sages of ages past: the wisdom that the open hand is richer than the clenched one, and that abundance flows not to those who hoard, but to those who share.

In founding his charity, Big Dreams For Kids, Flo Rida sought not only to uplift others but to awaken the power of purpose within himself. His belief — that “the more you give, the more you receive” — is not a transaction, but a truth of the soul. The act of giving is an alchemy, transforming wealth into joy, and compassion into strength. What one gives in material form returns tenfold in spirit: in peace, in gratitude, in the silent knowledge that one’s existence has made the world gentler. Such is the divine law of reciprocity, found in every faith, every philosophy, every heart that has ever learned to love.

This wisdom was not born in the age of lights and microphones; it was written long ago in the lives of the wise. The ancient teachers of India called it karma — the eternal circle of giving and receiving. The Greeks called it agape, the love that gives without seeking reward. Even the desert prophets, clothed in simplicity, taught that generosity multiplies like bread broken among many. Across all time, the message endures: to give is to live more fully, for in lifting others, we rise ourselves.

Consider the story of Andrew Carnegie, the great industrialist of the 19th century. He built an empire of steel and amassed vast riches, but it was only when he turned his wealth toward others that his life took on meaning. He built libraries, schools, and universities — gifts that outlived him by centuries. “A man who dies rich,” he once said, “dies disgraced.” Like Flo Rida, he came to understand that the true measure of success is not what one gathers, but what one gives back. For in giving, one’s wealth becomes not an end, but a legacy.

And yet, giving is not limited to gold or grandeur. The poorest of souls may still give their time, their kindness, their attention, and their love. These are treasures more enduring than coin. A word of encouragement may heal a heart. A moment of listening may save a life. The law that Flo Rida invokes — “the more you give, the more you receive” — moves not through the markets of the world, but through the chambers of the heart. He reminds us that generosity is not an act of loss but an act of creation.

The more you give, the more life gives you in return. Not always in wealth, but in wisdom; not always in power, but in peace. For the universe, like a mirror, reflects the energy you offer. A heart that gives freely draws abundance like a magnet; a spirit that fears to give lives in scarcity, even amid plenty. When you give, you declare to the world: “I trust that there is enough.” And that trust becomes your reward.

Let this be your lesson, O seeker of meaning: do not measure giving by what you lose, but by what you awaken. Give of your gifts, your time, your care, your talents — for in serving others, you polish the mirror of your own soul. Write your life upon the hearts of others, and you will find your reflection shining there. The richest man is not he who owns the most, but he who has given the most of himself.

So, as Flo Rida teaches, walk through the world with open hands and open heart. Dream not only for yourself, but for those who walk beside you. For in helping others rise, you ascend. In planting kindness, you harvest joy. And in giving — always in giving — you will find that life, in its mysterious grace, gives you back far more than you ever imagined.
