Day 25 and 26: A Fundamental Principle

One of the fundamental principles of this "Strange Secret to Success" is that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." The author of this book describes it this way:
"Prosperity....is founded upon a law of mutual exchange. Any person who contributes to prosperity must prosper, in turn, himself. Sometimes the return will not come from those you serve, but it must come to you from someplace because that's the law." If you recall what you learned in school in science you'll recognize this law as a fundamental law of physics, too. This principle permeates every aspect of our lives, but we often forget about it.
One of the reasons we forget is that we don't always see the results of our actions immediately. When that happens, we do one of two things: we either forget about the action we have taken and don't look for any result or we assume that nothing has happened. Both perspectives are wrong.
As we complete this 30 day challenge it is important to remember that our success will always be measured by the quality and quantity of service you render, and money is a yardstick for measuring this service.
I am going to share more of what the author has to say about how service is connected to success over these last few days of the challenge. But for today I would encourage you to think about how your actions serve other people. I would suggest that you keep a list of ways you have served others and then start looking for how the service you gave comes back to you. The point of this is not for you to give a service in order to get something back. The point is to help you become more aware that there are good things coming back to you that are a result of the good things you are doing. I will end today's blog with this quote from the book, "No man can get rich himself unless he enriches others." And, that is where we will pick it up tomorrow.
