They say that love makes the world go around, and in a way they are correct. However, to be fully correct perhaps the saying should say, “Reciprocated love makes the world go around.”
Reciprocation requires more than a single participant. Everything is life is reciprocal, we begin teaching this lesson to our children at a very young age, and hopefully we never stop teaching them, and ourselves, that the act of receiving is improved by the act of giving.
The lesson doesn’t seem tough, yet so many either forget it or grow to believe that they should receive a little more than they give. Think about that for a moment and you’ll realize this thinking inevitably leads to imbalance. If everyone takes just a little more than they receive, who are they taking it from?
For someone to gain, another must give.
Give as much as you get, and balance will return to our chronically unbalanced world.
Which brings me to the reason for this post. I recently joined a Book Club that goes by the Twitter hashtag #RaveReviewsBookClub. The unique premise of this club is that in order to become a member, and remain a member in good standing, you must read and review the works of other members.
And there it is. A book club where you do for others, and others will do for you. The essence of reciprocation.
If you are either a writer or a reader, please consider joining this book club. The club has a wide range of great works by a growing number of independent authors. Whatever your personal preference might be Rave Reviews Book Club has something for you.
Tempted? Great, then click this link, join the club, visit the blogs and when you’re done vote for the post you enjoy most.
Let the reciprocation begin!
{P.S. I would be honored if you mentioned me as your sponsor should you decide to join! I would be doubly honored if you decided to review my work, “Beltamar’s War” as part of your membership dues, however that decision I leave entirely to you. Good reading!}
