You Get Back What You Give Out

Free day and some more "philosophy":

I am a true believer in how the universe gives us what we put forth into it.

Bill Phillips states in the book Body For Life a concept he calls "The Universal Law of Reciprocation". It hits the nail on the head with that section.

I have had experience with this in the past. I have extensive training in a particular counseling technique that hits every aspect of life and livingness. It does cover this law so I am familiar with it.


Today I practiced it and saw what I call a microcosm aspect of this in action.

Since I was feeling particularly good from eating well today and doing some exercise, while I was at the grocery store I just started smiling at the people I passed and nodding hello to them. One older lady turned on a big smile back at me. It was nice and made me start feeling even better.

When I went to check out I only had one item in my hand and the cashiers were very busy with a lot of customers. I stood in line at the express lane which is right beside a regular line. The person in the line next to me had a cart full of groceries and my line had about 10 people in front of me.

I didn't get upset about it as I was not in a rush. However, the lady in the line next to me insisted I go ahead of her since I only had one item. When I turned around it turns out to be the lady I smiled at earlier in the store.

This is just a small example and of no major importance, but it is just an example of how this all works. I found it very interesting.

I would usually just go through the store, get my groceries and leave without even particularly looking at anyone. I would usually also have been annoyed at waiting in line at the express checkout.

Funny how your viewpoint and attitude towards and interaction with life affects the viewpoint and attitude toward you from life.

Try it for yourself!
