5 Explanations Why you should Give More of What You Want More of…

Thanks to Brian and his team at Philosopher’s Notes for these great books full of inspirations. Get your Wisdom On!

You reap what you sow….

  1. “Whenever you feel ‘short’ or in ‘need’ of something, give what you want first and it will come back in buckets. That is true for money, a smile, love, friendship. I know it is often the last thing a person may want to do, but it has always worked for me. I just trust that the principle of reciprocity is true, and I give what I want.”
    Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert t. Kiyosaki
  2. “Practicing the Law of Giving is actually very simple; if you want joy, give joy to others; if you want love, learn to give love; if you want attention and appreciation, learn to give attention and appreciation; if you want material affluence, help others to become materially affluent. In fact, the easiest way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.” Deepak Chopra, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
  3. “The law is exact: If you give, really work in a giving consciousness, you must receive.”
    Spiritual Economics, Eric Butterworth
  4. The conditions that we attract will correspond exactly to our mental picture. It is quite necessary, then, that the successful business man [or parent, artist, teacher, whatever] should keep his mind on thoughts of happiness, which produce cheerfulness instead of depression; he should radiate joy, and should be filled with faith, hope and expectancy. These cheerful, hopeful attitudes of mind are indispensable to the one who really wants to do things in life.”
    Creative Mind and Success, Ernest Holmes
  5. “We are free when we move from a focus on getting love, abundance, peace and freedom to being love, abundance, peace, and freedom.”
    It’s Not About The Money, Brent Kessel

And the ones I’m working on myself at the moment:

  • If you want more hugs, give more hugs.
  • If you want people to listen to you more, listen to them more.
  • If you want more money, help others to become more affluent.

ps. It works!
