Shock Value: Entry 207 "Life's Deposits"

So, today I am going to attempt to be inspirational in my message to you all. It is my hopes that with all of my messages someone can relate, but if not, I am hoping today's hits the spot. I write today, about something that is relatively new to me, but I've learned the importance of most recently, "Life's Deposits."

For those of you who don't understand what "Life's Deposits" are let me elaborate. "Life" is like a bank account but with better interest rates. Whatever, you put into it, you will get out of it, plus something extra if you give enough of it and let it stay in long enough. If you "Deposit" hard work, you will be able to withdraw success. If you "Deposit" service beyond self, you will be able to withdraw appreciation and accolades from those you chose to serve. If you "Deposit" persistence, you will be able withdraw a goal you obtained cause you didn't give up.

There are somethings in "Life" that when you "Deposit" them you get a return on that investment immediately. For example, if you "Deposit" good things in general, you will be able to withdraw good things. If you "Deposit" happiness and joy, you will be able to withdraw happiness and joy. If you "Deposit" the most important gift in this world, love, you will be able to withdraw love.

The moral to this topic is for you to understand that you have to make some sacrifices in this "Life." If you don't put anything into what you are doing in this "Life" you will get nothing out of it. It's pretty obvious to understand. You have to chose to make a "Deposit" in order to withdraw something. "Life" will always present opportunities for you to be able to make a "Deposit," but you must be willing and able to do so. "Life's Deposits" can be very small or very large, but what you gain in return could be more than you could ever imagine. Just give it a try. For once in your life, do something for someone or something besides yourself. Make a "Deposit" into someone else's future or situation and see what you will be able to withdraw. It may surprise you.

Please be reminded, not to treat these "Deposits" like you do your own personal bank account. Don't make a "Deposit" today and take all of out but the minimum balance a week later and expect to see a return. You need sometimes to let your "Deposits" sit for while and mature as you continue to make other "Deposits" in this "Life". Don't "Deposit" strictly to get something in return. Do it because its the right thing to do. If you never make any "Deposits" in this life, you will end up in debt and morally bankrupt. Ultimately meaning, you wasted away your whole "Life." Make a "Deposit" today!
