Something that I've always highlighted in my teachings over the years is the universal law of cause and effect, which the great Emerson referred to as the law of laws -- that's how very important Emerson thought this law was. Now the essence of the law of cause and effect is, that as we sow -- so shall we reap, or what we put out each and every day in the form of thoughts and actions will indeed return to either haunt or reward us, depending on their nature. So to put it simply which is what I like to do in these articles, we will receive rewards.
Now the rewards which we receive for the efforts which we have put out, can be tangible or intangible. The tangible rewards for let's say the daily work we do, is of course the money we make for our everyday efforts. This is a most important and indeed necessary reward for our daily contributions at work. However, the intangible rewards are very important too; in fact, to many they are even more important. The intangible rewards are the way in which we inwardly feel, the satisfaction we get from doing an excellent job and thus getting great results.
So, let's never lose sight of the fact, that there are these two kinds of rewards -- tangible and intangible, and of course they're both important to most people as we all need the hard earned cash we receive as salary for working; however let's never forget the intangible rewards too -- that's the feelings of satisfaction we get from knowing that we did an excellent job.
I recently got a friend request from someone on Facebook, which I duly accepted. This new Facebook friend then made a post on Facebook to the effect that she had been listening to me on the radio for a long time, and in her words, she always wanted to be like me. Today, she's actually facilitating leadership training seminars as she assists individuals and organizations to build effective leaders.
Believe me, the inner feeling that I had been able to influence this young lady in such a positive way really touched me deeply. It was a most wonderful reward for the work which I do, and indeed have been doing now for quite a long time in helping to motivate and inspire people around the globe to excel and succeed. Yes indeed, always remember that rewards are tangible and intangible.
