LOOKING OUT FOR #1

by Stephan Bourget

We've all heard the story of the good Samaritan, an Arab that showed godliness through generosity of spirit, paying for the shelter and recovery of a man left beaten in the streets, passed over by religious people and priests alike, left for dead, but saved by the good Samaritan, thus proving affiliation and doctrinal expertise are meaningless without compassion.

The good Samaritan took risks. He exposed himself to the possibility of having to encounter the same hostile forces as the man he helped. He risked an unknown amount of expenses building up for the man's recovery, during the absence of his continued journey. But, all things considered, he chose to take all the risks, in order to follow the sense of what was good and right in his heart.

His act of kindness was indicated to grant him the gift of kindness from God toward him, in exchange for his compassionate act toward a complete stranger.

"What's in it for me?" That's always the big question out here in Mammon, where the greedy pursuit of wealth is king. The Great Lesson, however, is always the same: GIVE WHAT YOU WANT TO GET.

People seem obstinately resistant to gathering wealth by the immutable process of getting wealthy by making others wealthy. They seem to want to take in without giving out, seem to want to protect what they have and so pass by, not wanting to take the chance, not wanting to get involved.

The facts have been in for a long time. Most people settle for mediocrity. Most people die broke. Most people choose timidity in the face of opposition. Most people do not deliberately change the course and flow toward themselves by giving what they want to get.

People want support. Why do they not perceive their calling to be supportive?

People want to get rich. Why do they not see that they are thereby describing their own work, which is to make others rich?

People want to get. How is it they do not see the requirement to give, then?

People want downlines. Then put downlines under others.

People want growing residual income. Then make residual income grow for others.

People want to have success. Then make others succeed.

Wisdom cries aloud in the streets, "How long, O you simple ones, will you love simplicity?"

In other words, "Look out for others and #1 will be taken care of just fine."
