You Get What You Give

This is the time of year where we all eat a little more (fine, a lot more!) and enjoy our fair share of spirits. We meet with family and friends in order to celebrate the season as well as the fact that we've made it to the end of the year together. We take time this year to live as our most ideal self and I would argue that we should endeavor to do this all year. If each of us would take the time each day of they year to bring a little bit of Christmas into our lives we would improve the quality of life of each person we interact with.


You might be asking yourself what the hell I'm talking about but think about each time you've interacted with someone. If you were pleasant they'd be pleasant too and if you were a total tossed they'd give that back to you as well -- In short, you get what you give. Not many people consider this principle when they interact with people but it's the truth about our interactions. It would be easy to dismiss the idea "You get what you give" but it make sense -- consider when you put a project together, if your work is careless then your product will be sloppy ad if your work is meticulous then they product with be pristine. If you're the type of of friend who just puts in the minimal effort then don't expect anyone to move mountains for you but if you are willing to bleed for people it shows and those around you will show the same kind of dedication.


This holiday season I simply want everyone to consider the idea of cherishing your loved ones, showing a bit more kindness to everyone you meet and taking the time to enjoy you life a lot more. Give kindness, get kindness. Give love, get love. Give knowledge, get knowledge. Give time, get time. Give joy, get joy. Remember throughout the year that you get what you give.
