Getting Because You Give

This week’s CHART focuses on YOUR Expectations of Getting Because You Give

Please pay attention the entire chart. If you are not paying attention, you WILL miss it.

On the left side (the VERTICAL), is YOUR level of Expecting Something in Return AFTER you gave something. The scale goes from HIGH Expectation to Low Expectation.

On the bottom (the HORIZONTAL), is WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET BACK. The scale goes from the left, tagged as LITTLE, to the right, tagged as NONE. That’s right it goes from LITTLE to NONE!

Folks, if you want to live a VERY HAPPY LIFE then just STOP expecting something in return after you gave something. Unless, you are in a department store and you pay for something they you better get something in return. That is call COMMERCE.

However, as we are in the season of giving, please DO NOT expect to get anything back. Go around flaunting that you gave with the sole intention of getting a compliment or a pat on the back; seriously?

If you expecting something in return is why you do things, then do yourself a huge favor and STOP GIVING. Give because you want to and NOT because you want the accolades and validation. Seriously, just stop.

Bell Curve About Advice

This week’s BELL CURVE focuses on Your Quality of Life When You Take Advice

People are quick to offer advice. Those quick to offer advice people are the ones that are at the AVERAGE or BELOW AVERAGE scale of the Bell Curve of Life or the WRONG PEOPLE.

The ones that are at the ABOVE AVERAGE or the RIGHT PEOPLE. The ABOVE AVERAGE usually do NOT volunteer advice. The RIGHT PEOPLE give advice when asked for it.

On a personal note, this can be a difficult challenge to move from BELOW AVERAGE to ABOVE AVERAGE. I know because I am still working on sliding up the scale. One Day, I hope to be up there among the ABOVE AVERAGE but it will take work and I am up to the challenge.

If I can do it, you can do it. Join Me as we work our way to being ABOVER AVERAGE.

Self-Dignity & Self-Esteem

This week’s CHART focuses on Your Self-Dignity & Self-Esteem

Let start by saying, your Dignity and Self-Esteem are NOT the same thing.

Dignity is defined as “the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.”

and

Self-Esteem is defined as “confidence in one’s own worth or abilities”

At first glance they may appear the same or very similar but they are definitely two separate things. No matter how you look at them, you have both of them.

Read the chart, understand that in this case DIGNITY and SELF-ESTEEM grow or decline in direct proportion to one another. That means you can work on one and the other follows right along.

As always “Two for the price one” is ALWAYS a Good Thing.
