The quote above is my third quote in the 3 quote series and it speaks for itself.
In my quest for positive transformation, I try to base a lot of my actions and reactions on this guiding principle which also applies to everyone else.
This quote is simply not a biblical tenet or any religious balderdash!
It relates to everything that pertains to our lives, even this blogging exercise that we are engaged in. For instance, when you stretch out a hand of fellowship and engage others, 99% of the time, it is reciprocated and vice-versa! Keep your circle as positive as possible.
Our actions revolve around us as surely as the Earth revolves around the Sun.
When we are in search of happiness, the first question we should ask ourselves, is what seeds we are sowing?
Happiness is not something that we get from other people. The happiness we feel is in direct proportion to the love that we are able to give.
Take a peek at those embittered people who expend so much energy pulling others down; they forever remain miserable.
They fail to realize that in the attempt to keep someone else down, they hinder themselves from rising to their optimum potentials.
Be loving to yourself and others and you see that love reciprocated.
It is the law of Karma which works every time, whether we are aware of it or not. It occurs in the small things and in the big things that surround us.
It is also wise to remember that treating others right does not imply being blind to their shortcomings or giving them permission to treat you poorly.
Leannenz, I sincerely thank you for inviting me to participate in this quote series. It is a good opportunity to reflect on those things that matter and I think I am going to continue the quote beyond this stage 🙂
I would like to invite 5 awesome bloggers to share their favorite quotes in the series of 3.
Warm regards to you all. Be happy.

I like the thought line about measuring our happiness against how much we can spread or share. What goes around comes around they say. Simple and on-point post Jacqueline.

😉 I couldn’t resist pulling in more people. 3 seems too few. If we sincerely applied this more to our lives and those around us, it would be a better place that we inhabit.
