Pay It Forward
In your life, what are you giving? Are you giving out kindness, patience and generousity? Or out you giving out frustration and negativity? Dr. Robin says it’s time to check your behavior, because what you’re giving out, you’re getting back, she says.
If you give out kindness, you get kindness back. Same with generosity, compassion and thoughtfulness. “Maybe you’re not going to get kindness back from the person you were hoping was going to be kind. Maybe not generosity from the person you loaned your lawnmower to, but somewhere down the line, it will come back to you. The equation for the universe is that when you give to someone, somehow the universe turns around and gives back to you.
Dr. Robin says, “If you want passion, you’ve got to give passion. If you want aliveness, you’ve got to show up alive.”
According to Dr. Robin Smith, you have the ability to teach others how you want to be treated. If you tolerate abuse, ridicule or mistreatment, people will treat you with disrespect, she says. “When you smile at something that is derogatory, at something that is demeaning, at something that is unkind, you in that moment are teaching others how to treat you,” she says.
When you stand up for yourself and carry yourself with dignity and poise, people will learn to treat you with honor. “What it means is that you’ve taught people what you deserve – it’s what you desire and you won’t settle for less,” she says.
Modify your own behaviors and attitude to teach the people in your life what you will and will not accept. Decide today what lessons you want to put out there in the world, in your universe, so that you can transform your life and transform your relationships.
How to Spot It
Follow the ABCD rule for detecting skin cancer, which points to four signs that a skin lesion may be malignant:
A: It is asymmetrical. Draw an imaginary line through the middle of the mole, either vertically or horizontally. Are the two halves nearly the same size and shape? If not, get it checked by your dermatologist.
B: It has an irregular border. The edge or border of a melanoma is usually irregular. The border can be scalloped, ragged, notched, blurred, or poorly defined.
