You Don't Get Much without Giving....



How did your "Kindness" experiment go yesterday? Did you look for acts of kindness? Did you Match them or initiate your own? If so, I bet it brightened your day! Keep the experiment going today and observe your mood and attitude! It MUST improve - it is IMPOSSIBLE not to improve!!


One of my favorite "under-the-radar" bands of all time is a group from Milwaukee called the "Bodeans". Check them out (http://www.bodeans.com/index.shtml).


They have a tremendous sound and message - and today's message focuses on a song of theirs called "You Don't Get Much" (link to video below).


I believe there are two laws in this Universe that dictate the outcomes of all of our efforts, thoughts, interactions, and actions - they are the "Law of Attraction" and the "Law of Giving".


The Law of Attraction is simply stated that what we think about is drawn to us! Period! If we envision negative scenarios - the Universe will deliver that negativity to us. If we think positively and focus on what we WANT - the Universe will deliver EXACTLY that to us! For more (a lot more) on this law you must get the audio version of Esther and Jerry Hicks' "The Laws of Attraction" for your iPod!! Fascinating topic and hard to argue against the concepts!


The "Law of Giving" is summed up in the Bodeans song "You don't get much without Giving" - we will have returned to us MUCH MORE than what we give to others!


This is why I implore you to LEAD the way in kindness, forgiveness, empathy, compassion - GIVE to others what you can and you will have it returned 10 fold!


These are immutable laws! They work! and they are simple to follow - except for that LEAP OF FAITH needed to take that first step! But I believe in you and know you can do it!


Get up from where you are reading this and go and GIVE! A smile, a note to a friend, a phone call, a kind gesture, volunteer for something, talk someone off the proverbial ledge, - ANYTHING that shifts away the concerns you have for yourself this morning! Don't worry - the favor will be returned and MUCH LARGER than what you have given!


Watch this video below -- listen to the message -and be a LEADER today --


Enjoy your weekend - Stay Strong!!!
