Three Basic Steps That Will Boost Your Success With The Law Of Reciprocity!
"What is the law of reciprocity?" It's about getting what you give. Simple enough right? "Well, how do I use this reciprocity law for me?"
The quickest way is to put others first. Granted, genuinely caring about the concerns of others is not enough. It takes more than that to make this reciprocity law give you what you want!
It involves:
- Being proactive
- Giving to others and then some
- Giving to yourself
Yes, to yourself! Let's take a closer look at how to get this law of reciprocity working for others and thus for you!
Rule #1 - Be Proactive!
"What do you mean: 'be proactive'?" Want things to come your way? Make things happen for others first!
Do you want to live happier? Make those around you happy! Take initiative! Learn a new joke and re-tell it!
Just one small step a time will start getting the reciprocity law working for you!
Think about it. When it comes to 'happiness' who can you think of?
I bet it's not the person demanding happiness from others. Instead it's the person who makes others happy! People love that person because he/she loved and cared for others.
Why? Because he/she proactively gave loving and caring feels first!
How about being that person for a change? If you want to live a happier life, that is.
But what about if you want to learn how to be wealthy? Why not proactively learn and teach others how to make money first?
That's what I'm currently doing in the city I live in!
Surprisingly, I benefit double because when I teach my students I re-learn everything I'm teaching (go reciprocity law!) ;-)
Rule #2 - Give More!
Do you want more money? Well, let's have a serious face-to-face here - when was the last time you gave to charity?
No, I'm not talking about those .05 cents you put in the McDonalds charity box. I'm talking about really giving!
When was the last time giving to charity hurt a little financially?
When you give more it doesn't have to be from giving to an organization. In fact, it doesn't even have to be about giving money!
It can mean doing something for your family or your neighbors! You see, if you can give away what it is you want, you're telling "the Universe" to give you more of it!
Here's an example.Want a punch? Give one!
Want more? Give more!
With the reciprocity law, you also tend to get more than you give too! ;-) Okay so how can you get the reciprocity law to help you?
Find what it is you want more of, and find ways to give it to others! It'll also help you because you'll have to find ways to get some of what you want if you want to give some of it away!
Rule #3 - Give to Yourself!
Didn't think you'd hear about helping yourself did you? ;-)
What I'm talking about is to be sure you are proactive and generous to yourself! If you expect so much out of yourself, how about giving to yourself first?
When was the last time you respected your own wishes? When was the last time you gave yourself a break?
Or when was the last time you genuinely gave your body the sleep it needed?
If you want to make the most out of this law, I recommend keeping you in the equation too!
If you want the best out of yourself make sure you give yourself the best too!
I recommend not cheating yourself out of anything! Don't disrespect your own desires!
Did you promise yourself a large latte after doing your run but are now thinking twice because of the calories?
Who cares! You made a deal with yourself so I recommend respecting it! Get the latte! The love and compassion you give yourself will come back in spades!
You will find the energy to burn those calories during that next run! ;-)
Final Thoughts
When it comes to one of life's most precious Golden rule, I believe that this reciprocity law is it!
You help people you care about by giving them what you're passionate about and then you receive what you're happy about!
What's not to love about it? ;-) How about using it now? That's right. Now. ;-)
Find ways to use it in your life and you will get more what it is you want!
Guaranteed!
