How to Have a Successful Life

"It all starts with a SMILE"

Try as you might, you cannot dictate the results of your
footwork. Remember little Brian (or Betty, as the case may be)
whom you had a huge crush on in fifth grade? No matter how nice
you were and how much you wished she would return your
affection, you couldn’t make it happen. Although that might’ve
been one of your first lesson that circumstances don’t always
turn out the way you want them, things are no different today.

But you can certainly influence the results of your footwork. By
learning how to create a life of your choosing, which you’re
doing right now by reading this and following my suggestions,
you can exert power over your results. And, once again, humor
is your most powerful tool in exerting this influence.

One of the most important rules for influencing your life’s path
is my new Smile Strategy, Give What You Wish to Receive. This
strategy is based on the principle of reciprocity, which means
that you get back that which you give. Learning to give
generously in certain ways and to certain people will focus your
personal growth like a laser beam.

Can you see the connection between giving away something that
you specifically desire? By giving that which you are wanting,
you engage the universe’s natural law of reciprocity and create
a great deal of influence over the outcome of your footwork. By
practicing reciprocity you can actually choose, in a general
manner, the gifts life gives you.

A patient named Donald was very dedicated to increasing his
income. So much so that he had become depressed at his lack of
wealth-building progress. He studied different investments and
came to the conclusion that investing in real estate would be
his ticket to riches. Unfortunately, however, he received some
bad advice and was losing money every month on his rental
properties.

I received a despondent phone call from Donald one Tuesday
morning. He had just met with his property manager, realized he
was going to go yet another month without any appreciable rental
income, and was contemplating tossing everything and giving up. Donald’s
brain was screaming “failure!” and he was so shaken he
wanted to retreat, clinging on with both hands to what little
money he had left.

I reminded Donald that this might be a good time to start
engaging reciprocity. Since he wanted more money, I advised him
to walk through his fear and commit an act of courageous faith;
in the midst of his economic woes, I suggested that Donald might
give away that which he wanted so badly. And, fortunately for
Donald, he was finally in enough pain to give it a try.

Donald went home that Tuesday and wrote a generous check to a
worthwhile charity. Trusting completely the principal of
reciprocity, he gave away the very thing he wanted more of. He
called me a week later to tell me about his unexpectedly
discovery of a large unrecorded sum of money in his checking
account register.

Coincidence? Nope; I’ve seen it happen too many times to blow
it off so trivially. Giving away what you desire really works. Donald
is now sure a believer.

I’m not telling you to start giving away money. It’s up to you
to decide what you want out of life and money may not be a huge
priority. But, rest assured, whether you desire love, more
energy, attention, respect, help with household chores, serenity
– you name it – you now possess an accurate, proven formula for
their achievement.

But the real jackpot is easy to give away because it is always
fun to do and you’ll always love the results. Focus on giving
away the things that make you happy, and you’ll find no end to
your happiness. And that’s what I call a successful life!
