Nothing Comes for Free

For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction. Yin and Yang. Balance.

When we hear "Nothing in life comes for free." We may think that means not to trust someone giving things away-they'll always want something in return. Or that if you get something for free, then someone else has paid the price for it, or that you'll always pay a consequence in the end for having things easy...

But, maybe that isn't what it means. Maybe it's on a larger, more general scale in life. That when we receive from the universe, an equal amount of energy is expected from us. God helps those who help themselves...

If we examine each time something good has come into our lives, it came with an equal amount of new worries and troubles. We overcome these, we are making payment for receiving.

But through payment we don't lose, we don't give away anything. We grow, and become capable of more. Life is abundant, we are all capable of having all the good things we desire and deserve, but only if we are willling to put out what we want back.

So the next time something good happens, and then the rush of problems come my way...I won't wonder "why me," I will be grateful for the chance to grow.
