There is an amazing secret of success and happiness within your grasp. It is called “Extending Loving Energy Without Expectation.” This means that you will be kind, loving, and giving to others without expecting anything in return. When you do this, you will open the floodgates of prosperity and joy as the Universe returns your loving energy many times over. Follow the steps we learned on Love University to tap into the power of this Invincibility principle:
*Be Like the Sun. Your goal should be to be like the sun. The sun shines on everyone and everything. Some people don’t like the sun and cover up; others love the sun and lie out to receive its warmth. Yet, the sun doesn’t get upset if people don’t like it. It keeps shining. In the same way, you will shine your loving energy on others. You will smile at others, pay them sincere compliments, and help those who need it. And, you will do this without expecting anything in return. You will be like the sun—extending your loving energy—because you are made of love.
*Be Nice the Right Way. They say that nice people finish last. The truth is that people who are genuinely nice are among the most loved and successful people in the world. The key is to be the right kind of nice. If you’re nice to yourself and not to others, you will be selfish. If you’re nice to others and not yourself, you will be a self-sacrificial martyr. If you are genuinely nice to yourself and others—not because you want anything from them—then you will be kind and caring, as well as genuine and strong. A truly nice person is not a pushover. They respect and take care of themselves and others. They can be firm when they need to be, and they are loving because that is the essence of their nature.
Be Like a Dog. Many people love dogs because dogs give loving energy without expectation. They always want to play with you, jump on you, and lick you. You can learn valuable lessons of how to love and be loved by observing the dog. Dogs are always interested in others, live daily with enthusiasm, and want to do something nice for their owners (bring them slippers, or cuddle when their owner is sad). You can follow the dog example by listening attentively to others, maintaining a positive attitude, and displaying empathy for other people—putting yourself in their shoes and feeling as they feel.
You can access the power of Loving Without Expectation in your daily life. You just need to be like the sun, be nice the right way, and be like a dog. When you follow these simple principles, you will unleash tremendous loving energy within yourself that will reverberate throughout the world—healing, helping, and loving others—as you build a legacy of love and goodness that lasts beyond your time on earth.
