The Law of Cause and Effect

"Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind... what we sow is what we reap. And when we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, the fruit of our karma is happiness and success."
Deepak Chopra "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success"

Think about it... what is the true power of:

a compliment
a hug
a smile
trust
commitment
kindness.

They are truly infinite. Seriously, try it today, go give someone a compliment on their shirt, tie, shoes, and ask them where they got it, or tell them one thing you appreciate about them, you'll be amazed. Live the principle of giving.

"Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." Luke 6:38

If you want to create a frenzy of good things in your life, start giving good things away today, compliments, smiles, peace, kindness. If you want affection, first give affection, if you want attention, first give attention. You can seriously create a positive cycle/frenzy of good things if you give first what you would like to receive.

Try it.

"Strive instead for happiness..."

"Do not aspire for wealth and labor not only to be rich. Strive instead for happiness, to be loved and to love, and most important, to acquire peace of mind and serenity."
Hafid in Og Mandino's "The Greatest Salesman in the World"

The Greatest of all Games

"Life to me is the greatest of all games. The danger lies in treating it like a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don't matter much. The rules matter a great deal. The game has to be played fairly or it is no game at all. And even to win the game is not the chief end. The chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly."
Sir Ernest Shackleton
