how do you get the best that life has to offer to you?
you give your best, fam, that’s how you get the best.
when thinking of the concept of reciprocity, let us realize we must start giving before receiving anything.
reciprocity begins with us losing the expectation of receiving anything in return.
sounds counterintuitive; however, it’s necessary to detach from expectation so that we can experience life in its endless realm of possibilities + opportunities.
when you give love, know that you’re gone get love back tenfold.
when you remove the expectation to receive love a certain way, you can receive it in many different ways —
- someone saving a parking spot for you
- someone holding a door open for you
- someone paying for your meal
- someone giving you a long, heartfelt hug in the moment you need it
- someone remembering your favorite song + turning up the radio to dance
that one person who isn’t giving you back what you give?
that’s on them! there are others who will give without issue or ask, so experience them with the utmost gratitude.
when you give a smile —
nah, try this shit real quick:
flash someone a smile real quick.
even if they are confused about “why”, their confusion will still send back the slightest smile (or a deep belly filled laugh).
all i’m saying is ditch the expectation of receiving reciprocity a certain way + be open to the possibilities that life brings.
believe + act like what you do, the energy you put out, will come back to you in some way, shape, or form + that regardless of how others act or react, giving your best is still at the top of your list.
be you, be dope!
