Creating great success does not always lead to having phenomenal relationships. But creating great relationships always leads to having phenomenal success. It is the nurturing, or plussing, of our personal, professional and Universal relationships that allows us to receive complete and total abundance.

When I speak of personal relationships I’m referring to those people that we love - our parents, spouses, partners, children, life-long friends, etc. These are the people that know us better than anyone on the planet.

These are the people we would lay down our lives for, and they would do the same for us.

These are the people for which we live and breathe.

We plus these relationships by becoming more lovingly involved in their lives, and by allowing them to become more involved in ours. We don’t stick our noses in where they don’t belong or give advice that is not wanted. If our spouses or children have something to say, we stop what we’re doing and we listen. If our friends have problems and want to talk, we show up and support them. We don’t judge and we don’t nag. We nurture these relationships by being present in their lives and loving them.

We have professional relationships with the people we work with.

These are individuals we need, and who need us, to accomplish professional goals. We plus these relationships by creating win-win situations in the workplace. Find out what your co-workers, employees and bosses need. Once you figure out what everyone wants and needs you can easily help them achieve their goals. They, in turn, will help you achieve your goals. It’s the law of give and take.

When you help others, you, in turn, are rewarded for your efforts.

Universal relationships are those we have with every living thing on earth, and with God, or whatever Infinite Intelligence you believe exists. Let’s say you decided to help build houses for the homeless.

This selfless decision plusses your relationships with other human beings, and sets a karmic chain of prosperous events into motion. Those homeless people become homeowners. They remember the kindness and generosity others have shown them and help build homes for the homeless. Those people do the same - and so on, and so on - until one day there are no homeless people, only homeowners helping one another.

While you’re doing that, others are working to save the rainforests and clean up the oceans - helping other living creatures on this planet. Plussing our Universal relationships lead to prosperity for everyone and everything.

The Beatles once sang, “All you need is love.”. It seems so simple, but nothing could be truer. Look at the most loving people in the world: Mother Teresa, the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, etc. They have, and are, accomplishing more with love than all the money in the world could accomplish. Our first goal, in everything that we do, should be to practice love.

So, how do you learn to do this? It’s just like anything else you want to be successful at - study those who know how to love, learn how they successfully do the things you want to do and practice, practice, practice.

Take out a journal or notebook and go to a quiet place. Now answer these questions:
1. Who are the ten most loving people you know?
2. Why did you choose these ten people? (What loving attributes do
they possess? What have they done to make you choose them?
What have they said that made you choose them?)
3. What can you learn from them? (Remember: actions, words,
attitudes)
4. Which of their behaviors can you duplicate in your own life to make
you more loving?

Once you answer these questions, begin implementing these loving attitudes, actions and words into your own life, and keep a journal every day to chart your journey towards a life of love and prosperity.
