The More Abundantly I Give, The More Abundantly I Receive”
My first marathon was the Honolulu Marathon, and I noticed that when I clapped and cheered on other runners as I was running, that I felt stronger and more energized. I remember its being a great reminder that we get what we give. W. Clement Stone said it more eloquently:
“Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You, and you alone, can give them. You will receive abundance for your giving.”
This seems to translate into “the more abundantly I give, the more abundantly I receive” – and to remember that giving is true and complete with no expectation or requirement of return.
How does this sense of giving and receiving abundance fit with your life experience and world view? Is it true that we get what we give? How often do you remember this principle? How frequently do you practice it?
