When You Give Universe, Universe Gives You Back

“Be grateful for what you have now. As you begin to think about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never-ending thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for. You have to make a start, and then the law of attraction will receive those grateful thoughts and give you more just like them.” ―Rhonda Byrne

Likewise, there are people behind the success of great people. They must be thankful for others. They must express their gratitude to others.

During the global lockdown, I phoned my friends who have connected me for the last 40 years and shared my ideas, insights, experiences, and challenges. I thanked some of them for their friendship and support. I converted the lockdown as an opportunity to reconnect with my friends and renewed relationships. So, learn to utilize your personal time to connect with your friends and relatives to thank and strengthen your relationships.
