In a recent post You are looking into a mirror, I talk about how your life around you is a direct reflection of what is going on within you. You should know that the way you treat other people is exactly how you treat yourself. You reap what you sow, what goes around comes around, or karma is what many call this. It makes no sense to treat someone with disrespect and then turn around and demand respect from someone else and expect to get it. It just doesn’t work that way. The best way of understanding this is to know that you really are looking into a mirror, and a mirror never lies.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the Golden Rule- “Do to others as you would have them do to you”. This is straight from the Bible. What it is telling us is simple, treat everyone the same way you want to be treated. Single people who are looking to get into a relationship to find love are going the wrong way. Instead of trying to find love, you should first become a loving person. Then as you are that loving person, without searching, you will attract to you, that person you truly want deep down inside. That person you attract will be that exact match for you, even if you don’t think so. However the only way it works is if you allow that right person to come to you instead of trying to force it to happen.

We of course all want to live happy, peaceful, and wealthy. The first step as I said earlier is to become that what you want to be. Once you do that successfully, you attract those things to you. What you must keep in mind is that you need to treat people in line with what you desire. If you desire a happy, peaceful lifestyle, then you need to be happy and peaceful and share that with others. You share that with others by treating them in those particular ways you want to be treated, happy and peaceful. The cool part about it, when you treat someone good, they will most likely pass it on to someone else, and so on.

So remember the Golden Rule and treat others the way you would want to be treated. Don’t expect your treatment to come back exactly how you give it from the same person you give it to. You never know, God may want to bless you through someone else. This is were many make the mistake, they give to people, and expect to be magnificently blessed through that same person. When you think and act in that way you are really limiting yourself due to the fact that there could be a large number of others who are waiting to return your treatment. So never put all of your focus on waiting for a certain person to return your blessing to you, just keep busy treating people right and keep it moving.

Are you valuable to others? Do you provide value to everything you do? What about the things that you don’t want to do? Valuable people definitely have a high advantage in life. People who have value are respected and loved much more than those who aren’t. Someone with value makes others want to be more valuable to them. You reap what you sow. Sow good seeds by creating and providing value to others, and it will eventually all come back to you times 10.

If you have a business that you want to start up the best thing to do is figure out what you like to do. Once you know what you want to do, then find ways to provide that to others in a considerate valuable way. If you create a business just to make money, it probably won’t make hardly anything. The reason it won’t is because all of the focus would be on money rather than value. Money is the last step, the first is providing a valuable product and service worth buying. Make sure to put more focus into the value of what you are offering others first, and last.

The value you provide should always be greater than the amount you charge. This is so people can get more than what they pay for, which also means, repeat customer. People love sales and discounts, they also love it when they get a good deal on something and they paid less than what the item is worth. Products and services with high value and low prices are the ones that will succeed and last much longer in the long run. Not only that, but your business will have a good name and reputation if you do this. Your business will be seen as a honest and loyal company.

The same applies to all areas of life not just business. Create value to your family by showing them that you love and care for them. Create value in your relationship by showing your mate consistent attention and love. Create value at your job by working diligently and honestly while also being grateful that you even have the job. Also remember to create value to God, by living the best life enjoying everything as much as you possibly can.

Thinking bigger can create new things in your life. You will see things in a much bigger and better perspective. The things that mattered to you before will be nothing to you anymore. The same problems won’t exist, the past limitations that held you back, will no longer have a hold on you. Thinking bigger gives you more confidence and strength to take on life and enjoy it in the process. Whenever you start thinking bigger, you rise to a whole new level. Once you rise to a new level, you never go back to the level you were before.

“Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions - Oliver Wendell Holmes”

Many people I know, including myself have looked at problems and undesired situations as big, and difficult to handle. Although, I have learned and have experience in knowing that the reason why those problems and situations were so big to me was because of my small limited thinking. You are who you are based on your thinking. If you think small, then you are a small person. If you have problems and you think small, then you are a small person with big problems.

The obvious solution is to elevate your thinking, or think bigger. As you think bigger, you become a bigger person. As problems come, you don’t see them as big problems anymore. You might not see it as a problem at all. Once you are at a new level, the problems from the earlier times have less value to you. Old problems have less value, because you know that you can handle the problem and you are not worried and stressed out about them based on your confidence in yourself.

“Thinking bigger is having confidence and faith that you accept the fact that more is possible - Walt”

If you are an employee for a big company, then you of course are handling all of the small tasks. If someone suddenly gave you the tasks and responsibilities of the CEO of the company, you might become very overwhelmed and give up. The reason is because your mind is not at the required level to handle such tasks. However, it is very possible to rise to that level, because if the CEO is doing it, then you can too. However, you must expand and elevate your mind. You can’t handle big responsibilities if you are still small minded.

Begin now from this point on to see yourself as a bigger person, literally. Walk with your head up, shoulders back, with a confident look. Smile, and always be happy knowing that everything is always going to be okay, and it will if you believe it will. Wanting increase in any area of your life no matter what it is, requires you to think bigger to be able to receive what you desire. You can never receive what you can not handle, or what you can not see yourself having. Visualization is very important. If you can’t clearly see yourself having what you desire internally, then you can’t see it externally. The amazing part about visualization, is the fact that you are not limited to what you can imagine!

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve - Napoleon Hill”

The truth is that God is within you. God is power, so therefore you are entitled to using that power within you. God wouldn’t be within you if he didn’t want you to possess his power. The only way we can use this power is to be aware and believe that it exists, or in other words think bigger. Thinking bigger as in thinking at a higher level knowing that God is within you. Once we understand this, we know that God is much bigger than any problem whatsoever. Problems are absolutely nothing to God. Your undesired situation is also nothing, you can easily move to a bigger and better one by simply changing your thinking and believing you can do so by trusting in God. Thinking bigger is actually thinking closer to God’s level, although we can never reach that level. So thinking bigger is thinking Godly. What ever seems impossible to man, is possible to God.

Expand, Go Beyond, Think Bigger!

Nobody is perfect, we have all made plenty mistakes and many failures. Sometimes it is very easy to feel low once we fail at something, it can really lower our self esteem. However, seeing failure in that particular view is of course only going to bring more experiences to match that.

There is a different way to look at failure. When we fail at something, we shouldn’t say or believe that we are failures. We are human beings, not failures. A failure is something that you mistakingly do, it is not who you are. God created humans, animals, land, water, trees, air, etc. Nowhere does it say he created failures. I believe a great way to look at failure is to not see it at all. Failure is not real. Look at everything as a success, not as a failure. We misinterpret failure. When we get a result different than what we expect we usually think of it as a failure. Although, it is not failure, it is successfully doing something different than the intended result. When you run a race and finish in second place, you don’t lose, you successfully win at second place. I could go all day with different examples, but hopefully you get the point.

The reason why I say that failure is an advantage is because when you so call “fail” at doing something, if you were aware of what you did wrong, then you are ahead of the game. The reason you are ahead is because you know exactly what not to do. When you know what not to do, and you learn what to do in whatever it is you are attempting, you have an advantage. If someone was very successful at the same thing you were attempting and they never failed at it, they know less than what you do. Once you learn what not to do, and what to do in your situation you will never fail because you know both sides. Unlike the other person who just knows what to do, if he does what he’s not supposed to do he won’t know that he is doing something wrong. This is the reason why you always here of those people who grew up doing the wrong things, and then as they are older they are the wisest people you know. The reason is because they grew up doing things a certain way. They learned that the particular way they were choosing to live their life was wrong. They found out what the right way was, and then later held on to what they knew was right. Children who grow up poor and want to make a change to better their life have an advantage because they know certain things they must not do. Not only that, but I’m sure they have plenty of motivation to do whatever it takes to get out of their situation compared to someone who is comfortable.

So remember, failure doesn’t really exist, it is successfully receiving a different result. Once we receive a different result, we should remember what we did wrong, and then begin to learn what is right. If you seek, you will find. Search for the correct way, and the door will be opened to you.

Have you heard the saying “God Bless America”? Whoever came up with the song and the saying did a great job. I know they had good intentions when making this saying, although many Americans have a problem with thinking about America only. I believe that we not only as Americans but other wealthy parts of the world forget about those who are not as fortunate. Its not just in America that people need help, but everywhere in the ENTIRE world.

Sometimes its difficult to think about the poor conditions that others have to live in when you are relaxing in your home, watching TV, at the beach, or driving your fancy car. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being wealthy, I myself am a wealthy young man. However, my status would be hard to reach, as well as other wealthy people without being generous. No one should try to be generous just to be wealthy or rich, but they should rather be generous with the intent of helping someone else. Of course as you do this God will always supply your needs, and especially when you help supply another’s first. I am a servant, a humble servant, and I do believe there is no better way to live than to give. Generosity should be a consistent action that is taken place in each of our lives. Someone somewhere needs help and assistance in some area of their life, always.

It is up to you to live your life helping, donating, and assisting others to a happy state of mind. Whatever is bringing someone down, encourage them, and give to them whatever you can that would be of value to their life. You don’t have to give up everything you have, just give something. Its the thought that counts, give cheerfully from the heart. Never give because you think you have to, or because someone is watching you and you want to make a good impression. You should give because that is apart of your purpose. We are living here to be of value to others in the world. If you have no value to anyone, then you should wake up and stop being worthless and give a little.

I have a promise that I made which states that I will be of value in all areas of my life. In order to give value you must first be a valuable person. That is what life is about. Creating value for others by providing some type of increase for everyone. Very soon, I plan to visit other countries to help them move from poverty to living extremely happy, healthy, and wealthy. What I won’t be doing is nurturing there poverty like most people do. Even though they don’t know they do it, it still happens. I’m not going to try and help someone by just telling them I feel sorry for them that they are poor and sick. No, I’m going to do my absolute best to get them out of their situation and make sure that they never return to that way of living ever again.
