People are always making comparisons, and we notice the things that are different. If you render more and better service than others, you will naturally stand out in bold contrast.
Napoleon Hill
Welcome to the Law of Compensation. A law that is not broadcast abroad as some of the other Spiritual Laws but a Law that is as profound as it is simple.
“Give and it is given back to you in good measure, pressed down, and shaken together and running over.” Or “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” Does this sound familiar? Who would have thought that this is a Law? Remember whatever you send out comes back to you. The Law of Compensation…
The quality of service rendered + the quantity of service rendered + the mental attitude in which it is rendered = your compensation — Napolean Hill
What is the meaning of the word compensation? The dictionary says “Something that constitutes an equivalent or recompense; the act of compensating: the state of being compensated.” This word compensation rests upon a basis of immutable principle, suggesting counterbalance or equality of opposing forces, and it leads directly to an established rule of physics, that of action and reaction.
“Nature emphasizes it as darkness and light, ebb and flow, heat and cold, male and female. Science presents it as the polarity we recognize in contrasts – attraction and repulsion, cause and effect, subjective and objective.”
Please note that this Law of Compensation is a law with which you come into contact every day and it grows with your awareness. As with any Universal Law it is good to know that God is able to provide you with blessings in abundance, overflow and increase. This provision from God is for you to be able to have enough of everything that you in turn may be able and may provide in abundance for others.
Whatever you send out into the world of thoughts, words, and actions will come back to you in like manner. What are you sending out? What thought seeds are you sowing?
God as infinite law is both the bountiful giver of all good and the dispenser of divine justice. Man is as individualized expression of that absolute good is a user of God power. All our life we have been employing this creative capacity by means of our thought pattern.
Whatever you have today is your just rewards, whatever you have sown, the harvest that you get belongs to you. If you are continually rebelling against the fact that your own good has been kept from you, that another person has taken your place, that money and position has been unjustly taken from you it is time to take an inventory of your past.
Check out the seeds that you have sown. The Law of Compensation is actively at work, everywhere.
When you feel deprived or feel that you have nothing to be thankful for wake up to the fact that you do have things for which to be grateful. The seeming deprivation will always be offset or counter-balanced by a comparable blessing.
