Be Of Service
How do feel when you volunteer to do something for a friend, neighbor or an organization and you receive appreciation for it? I am guessing it makes you feel great. Putting yourself out there to serve others should be unconditional without the thought of getting "something" back. But the great side effect of being of service is that the opposite party gets something of value and so do you. You get to contribute your skills and gifts to people who need it most.
Why Should I Care?
What does this have to do with living and working authentically you may be asking? Everything. The law of attraction basically states you get in life what you give in life and if you are only taking then this could explain why you are receiving the results you have now.
Food For Thought
No one wants to hire or do business with people that they perceive are "takers" or who display a feeling of lack and negativity. Let me know how you like to be of service to others.
