SargeMaximus: Blooming to Alpha

[SargeMaximus]

Reading More of "Maximum Achievement" by Brian Tracy.

What a powerhouse of a book. An encyclopedia of awesome.

I've been applying everything I can to good effect.

However, today I skipped ahead to the human relationships part because I need to get those handled asap.

All my life I've had trouble with human relationships.

I must say, what I'm reading clashes with almost all of my experience in life.

Tracy says that if you build people up, they will build you up. You get what you give, etc.

That has not been my experience at all.

My experience is: you give, and people take without giving back. Sometimes they even spit in your face for doing it.

I trust Brian Tracy and I resonate with almost everything he says, but this human relationships stuff is hard for me to accept. If it's true than I'm just part of a giant "chicken or the egg" scenario.

Am I shitty to people and they're shitty to me in response? Or am I shitty to people because they're shitty people and I'm just giving them more of what they've sown?

I dunno.

I'm feeling very lost and confused with all these new paradigms.
