I woke up this morning with this phrase in my head, "What goes around,
comes around." It quickly occurred to me that I used to frequently
think of this phrase in a negative context. I almost always heard it
used (and used it myself) in the context of reassurance that someone
would be punished for his or her own bad deeds in due time. Often it is
used in a religious context, with the idea that God will do the
punishing---the idea that it wasn't up to me to judge, but God's and
God's responsibility alone. How often have you also heard it used in
this context? I bet that you have heard it used this way many, many
times.
This morning, I woke up with a brand new realization of
these words. What a wonderful insight was given to me! I realized that
this phrase is a perfect example of the law of attraction at its
simplest. What you put out there, you get back. If you serve, you will
be served. If you love, you will be loved. If you give, you will
receive. If you act in peace, you will get peace. If you exert joy, you
will be joyful. It goes on and on, but for me, it is all positive!
It's
curious and exciting how this morning this insight into a phrase that I
have used and heard countless number of times in the past in a negative
way now has new meaning for me in a positive way! What a beautiful
revelation!
What will you put out there today? Remember that
what you throw out there will come back to you. Isn't it exciting? So
choose the good stuff! And the next time you hear someone using this
phrase in a negative context, pay attention to it and remember that
this is how they choose to see the world. You can choose differently.
Perhaps you can help that person see it from a different perspective.
It will bring a smile to your face and more joy to your life when you
decide to choose differently. And many smiles will be brought to your
life if you practice turning formerly negative thoughts, emotions and
phrases such as this one into positive ways of thinking, doing, feeling
and acting. Try it! You'll like it! I know I just did and I feel better
already.
