Absolutely Flip a Switch and Make an Awesome Difference

It’s counter intuitive but seems to be true…at least as well documented in a very interesting book by Adam Grant.

His book, Give and Take, was actually published some time ago and was one of the 200 best sellers on Amazon.  With hundreds of reviews, it averaged 4 ½ stars.

The problem you may have, as do many others, is successfully negotiating the metaphoric maze in life that can be the broad topic of giving to others and taking from others.

I don’t believe selfishness is the root cause of the problem.  I think it is more a misunderstanding of the powerfully positive impact of unconditional generosity.

The book I mentioned above is very relevant to the whole issue and to some key points I make in this blog post. 

The points show how to flip a switch in your mind and implement an attitude of giving that creates greater abundance in your life.

As a point of reference—suffice to say Mother Teresa didn’t become a saint by taking more than she gave during her lifetime.

You hear a lot about the idea of abundance, today. I'm not talking about a cornucopia of various foods. I'm talking about the concept of abundance tied to your self-actualization.

When you think with a mindset of abundance, you understand you don't have to take from others to receive. In fact, the more you give the more you get!

The more unselfish you act the more abundance you attract. Abundance both in terms of relationships and things, if things are your thing!  ☺

Thinking with a mindset of abundance takes only a flip of a switch...

• It's not caring who gets the credit but that the job is well done.
• It's releasing your petty jealousies and celebrating the success of all concerned.
• It's believing that the sum of the parts is truly greater than the whole.
• It's giving without expectations of return but purely for the joy.

I could go on and on. Suffice it to say, she or he who is selfish will never achieve what they relish.

An unselfish act or acts is the key to your ultimate self-actualization and true abundance.

Which of the suggested flips of a switch resonated most with you.  How are you going to act on it?
