Generosity beats scarcity. I do believe in karma. I do believe that every action has a consequence. I do believe that great things happen to people who do good things. So my encouragement for you, take the trust walk and have a leap of faith in a world where a lot of people say, well, if I'm good to people, they'll take advantage of me. My reply is always, people will only take advantage of you if you allow people to take advantage of you. We really do teach people how to treat us.And if you don't know how to set boundaries, and if you are weak, people will walk over you. So people will only take advantage of you if you don't know how to set boundaries and if you allow people to take advantage of you. Being generous does not mean being weak. As a matter of fact, being generous and giving and going the extra mile for people in all areas of your life and making the world a better place by your generosity. and looking, actively looking each day for any opportunity to be helpful and generous. To me, that is strength. That is a warrior, a saint warrior.And I do believe that good things will happen to you as you are generous. When you're generous in your work, people fall in love with your work. They become a global base of fanatical followers. When you're generous with your friends, your friends absolutely fall in love with you and they do great things for you. It's amazing to me how when you do great things for people, they feel so happy to do something special for you. When you are generous with your family, you're not only doing your duty to be a family protector, but you're showing them love. And you're giving them permission to take down their social masks and be absolutely loving to you. I've mentored so many clients where when we work on their intimate relationships, these are multi-billionaires, titans of industry, who are having difficult relationships with their husband or wife or girlfriend or boyfriend. And they'll say, well, you I'm not getting what I want. And my advice is often, are you giving what they need? So often in relationships, the person complains that I'm not getting what I want, but they're oblivious and unconscious that they're not giving what they want. If you want more love, you've got to give more love. And that's where generosity comes in. And the last thing I will share with you, with great encouragement for your richest life, is be generous to yourself. Be generous to yourself. Look how far you have come. Look at everything that you've gone through, and here you are. Wear your scars like badges of honor to show that you've really lived. Be generous with yourself. You've made mistakes in the past. I've made mistakes in the past. That makes us human. Nelson Mandela said, a saint is a sinner who just kept on trying. So be good to you when you talk to yourself. Talk to yourself in good ways. Even exercising is showing generosity to yourself. Eating clean is showing respect and generosity to yourself. Here's a big idea. treating people well and ethically and fairly and generously is actually being generous to yourself because when you mistreat other people, whether it's in business or personally, you are creating future suffering for yours.
