Growing up a 90s kid, I was heavily influenced by 90s music,  and I have to admit, I still enjoy those infamous 90s one-hit wonders.  Recently heard the New Radicals - You Get What You Give, which was basically my anthem during the 90s, and got slapped with perhaps the best advice I think anyone can do, regardless of age, status, money etc. 

The one sure thing you can control in life is what you give.  Whether your giving out help of any kind, compliments, or even just a smile.  Obviously also works just as negatively, like giving out hate, road rage, whatever….

You always control what you give.  You give someone hard work and and impressive results, that person will give you a job or raise.  It doesnt work the other way around.  I feel that people do the total opposite.  They think they should be given, then they’ll “do” in return.  This is a total losers concept. 

You cant expect to be hand given shit in todays world.  You have to go out and get it (give work) or in some cases demand it (give/show your value).  Of course responsibility goes hand in hand with this.  When you demand something, that means you deserve it through your positive actions, not because you think you should.

So try this out for a week and see how it makes you feel and how it affects your life.  Each day as you wake up, decide one thing you will constantly give that day (smiles, respect, listening, help).  Practice giving without asking or expecting something in return.  Do the one thing you can control in life, becuase “You Get What You Give”.
