The Universal Law of Reciprocation

Hello World, I picked up a great book from my local library recently. It's called 'Body for Life' by a fellow called Bill Phillips. It's packed with advice, information and motivational pieces to encourage people to live healthier and happier lives. I would like to share a small section from this great book with you. It's from pages 106-107. It was published in 1999. Hey!, please consider buying it.

Practice the Universal Law of Reciprocation

To make the transformation in your life that you've now decided to make, sometime during these 12 weeks, you're going to need support. I believe the best way to receive it is to give it. That's called practicing the Universal Law of Reciprocation.

If you've never heard of this "law," you're not alone, even though it is the oldest rule in the book. It's at the center of virtually every religious, moral, and ethical system in the world. But it's missing from many of our lives, and this lack can keep us from fulfilling our potential.

Many people want to get before they give. In the long run, this formula never works. My experience has been this: When I focus on creating value for others, in either my personal or my professional life, I don't get back a return that merely equals what I invest. I know my return will be double, triple, even 10 times greater. This is such a fundamental truth that I don't even think about it. I don't pay attention to my future return. The payoff will be automatic. And it will come in many forms: satisfaction, pride, fun, fulfillment, friendship, self-esteem, energy. And sometimes, yes, money.

There are many ways in which you can put the Universal Law of Reciprocation to work for you. First make a self-promise to do something positive for two people whom you would like to support you in your effort to make the next 12 weeks a success.

Then, promise yourself you will share this positive thought with that person by the end of the day tomorrow. You can do this in person or by simply writing a brief note on a card or a piece of paper (written, appreciative words have enormous power) and sending it to them.

This simple exercise creates immediate results that will increase your energy and confidence and show you what a difference it makes when you look for what's right in someone instead of what's wrong. When you say something as simple as "I appreciate your support," you not only lift that person's spirit but, as indicated by the Universal Law of Reciprocation, you will receive more positive energy than you give. That's the way it always has and always will work.
