Give to others what you need in your life.

This exercise will change your reality. Soon after you start giving, you will start receiving. You cannot receive what you don't give. Whatever you think the world is withholding from you, you already have. However, unless you allow it to flow out, you won't even know that you have it. This was powerfully expressed by Jesus when he said, “Give and it will be given to you.”

1. Identify what you think others are withholding from you—appreciation, assistance, loving care.
   Think about the things that are missing or that you want more of in your life.

2. Give these things to others. Smile at a stranger, and you have become a giver.
   Ask yourself, “How can I be of service to this person, this situation?”
