I have observed this process functioning successfully for a number of years. I am more dedicated to it and enthusiastic about it now than when I first heard it. The enjoyments of my personal life have flowered from the use of it. The barren, rocky moments have resulted when my emotions got in the way of my using the rule.

If I could make only one small change in the formula. To replace the word want with the word need. You see, wants and needs are separate substances. Wants tend to be frivolous, itchy, plundering, often greedy forces that are never satisfied. Meet one want, and there are two more to replace it.

But needs are the deeper currents of one’s existence. They are meaningful, worthy and not as capricious as wants.

People want sympathy but they need empathy.

People want riches; they need fulfillment.

People want big cars and expensive homes; they need transportation and shelter.

People want fame; they need recognition.

People want power but they need support and cooperation.

People want to dominate; they need to influence and guide.

People want prestige; they need respect.

Children want freedom and premissiveness but they need discipline.

People want make believe relationships but they need honesty and reality.

People want ease and comfort but they need achievement and work.

People want adoration; they need love.

So let us say. “To the degree you give others what they need they will give you what you need.”

Let’s think about that. What do people really need? To discover that, we must become rather close. But we can do that. For there are few relationships more intimate than that of a readers eyes. The relationship is a silent one, no verbal interruptions, no detours. It is a very private conversation between two people, never more. If sincere, speaking from the heart in a way most understandable to the reader. The reader can reject, accept, pause, ponder, reread, and react in any way he or she chooses, without any of the risks accompanying other types of communication.

It’s a warm and wonderful association. And I for one will enjoy every word of it. I hope you feel the same. I would like to be your good friend. That means I must open up and disclose myself to you. When I do that you will not only know me, but there is a good chance you will get to know yourself as well. And others. This is called “relating.”

That’s how you will discover what others need so that you can apply our formula: “To the degree you give others what they need they will in turn give you what you need.” Relate. Open up. Remove your mask, and others will remove theirs.
