The laws of life

The more generous we are, the more joyous we become.
The more enthusiastic we are, the more valuable we become.
The more interested we are, the more alive we become.
The more caring we are, the more radiant we become.

The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become.
The more outgoing we are, the more helpful we become.
The more persistent we are, the more successful we become.
The more grateful we are, the more godly we become.

The more forgiving we are, the freer we become.
The more prayerful we are, the more blessed we become.
The more curious we are, the more creative we become.
The more trusting we are, the wiser we become.

The more patient we are, the more responsive we become.
The more considerate we are, the more peaceful we become.
The more cheerful we are, the more attractive we become.

This great poem reminds us that we're each in charge of ourselves and points out specific ways we can become a better person – if we want to.
It also tells us what the rewards will be for living in this way. If we plant the seeds, we will reap the harvest.
