The Boomerang

Whether you realize it or not, you are throwing the boomerang today. As
you know, a boomerang is an angular club you toss away from you that
eventually returns to you. In the game of life, you throw the boomerang
daily, in the form of actions and behaviors that you send out into the
world, and which return to you at some later date -- often multiplied on
the rebound.

You've probably heard this principle stated in different ways,
including, What goes around comes around. Or the Biblical phrases, Give
and it shall be given unto you and As you sow, so shall you reap.

But how does this principle apply to your day-to-day life Simply put, if
you treat others with love and respect, you will find that others will
generally love and respect you. If you serve others, you will likely be
served. Of course, this law also applies to negative behaviors. If you
are critical and judgmental, don't be surprised when you are criticized
and judged.

Many people don't believe in the boomerang principle because they fail
to view it with a long term perspective. In fact, the return for your
actions is seldom immediate. There is often a delay between your actions
and the rebounding consequences.

People also have trouble with this concept because they look for the
return to come from the same person to whom they gave something. It
doesn't usually work that way. You'll never know where the return will
be coming from -- or when it will arrive -- but it always comes.

It's really quite simple send it out and receive it back. So, if you
want to receive love....give love. If you want people to appreciate
you....show your appreciation for others. And if you want others to help
you, then lend a helping hand yourself.

You have the power to create the life you want. It all depends on how
you throw the boomerang!
