There are no guarantees in life, but it is a sure thing that you will get back what you give.  If you give 100 percent of your attention, energy and time to a thing, you will get exactly that back.  Spending your time and attention focused on what you cannot do and do not have assures that more of the same will come.  When you concentrate on lack, weakness, fault and blame, it is sure to become a reality.  Nobody has everything, but everybody has something.  Use what you have right now!  Use it wisely, freely with love.  Wherever you are, use your time, energy and talents to do the best you can right now.  Give no thought to what is missing.  Spend no time wishing it were better.  Make sure you give all you have to make sure you will get all that you need.
