If you want your life to improve, the best thing you can do is to become a giver. The more freely and willingly and frequently you give, the better you will live. That’s just how the universe works. The law of reciprocity is a real one. Instead of thinking in terms of getting the most out of a situation or wasting your energy trying to make sure you’re receiving all that you feel like you “deserve”, you’d be better off spending your time and energy focused on how you can face more. What do you need to do to give more to the situation? How can you put yourself into position to be able to give more? How can you be able to help more people? If you focus more of your attention on those things, you’re guaranteed to get more out of life than you ever even wanted in the first place. Take care of people and people will take care of you. Do right by the universe and the universe will do right by you.
