The other day, it was raining, so we hopped in our rental car and sought out a nearby Barnes & Noble to find some good reading. I went to the "Inspiration and Motivation" shelf where <i>The GoGiver</i> is displayed; there were four copies. A few minutes later, the clerk asked me to sign the copies there, so I went back to the shelf — and in the 15 minutes or so, the four copies had been reduced to two. One copy had already been bought, and a man was standing there with another copy in hand, leafing through it. He told me he owned a company, and was thinking of buying this copy for his regional manager -- whose name is Joe. Synchronicity: a wink and a nod from the Absolute.

I intellectually understand why giving works, but there is something more. There is an X-factor which cannot be explained; it can only be experienced by applying the laws, which produces awesome synchronicities like the anecdote from Adrienne. I think that the need for living in that mystical and mysterious realm is greater than the need for "the answer."
