One (magic!) Law of the Universe....

One of the interesting laws of the universe is the "whatever you want, give it away" concept or philosophy! And most of us that test the premise find it amazingly true!

Amanda Dickson, is the co-host of a morning radio show and she wrote a great little book titled "Wake Up to a Happier Life." One of the chapters of the book explains the concept this way: "If you want love, you must love people. If you want respect, you must respect them. If you want support, you must support people. If you want patience, you must be patient with them. If you want money, you must learn to be generous."

It's hard to figure out why this is true, but it is! The only way to fix your world, is to fix yourself. I notice it the most when I get frustrated with another person's behavior because deep down at some level the person that I am really frustrated with is always myself!

It's a little like the boomerang! Throw it out there and it returns to you! Amanda Dickson suggests that we take inventory and come up with a few things we want. Then, give or do those things for others and watch how easily they come back to you! "Lift someone else, and you are lifted!"
