As I radiate love and goodwill to others, I will open the channel for God's love to come to me.
Interpretation
Sending love and goodwill to others invites love back into our lives.
This quote emphasizes the reciprocal nature of love and goodwill; by expressing positivity and kindness to others, we create an opening in our own lives for divine love and blessings to flow in. It suggests that our actions and intentions toward others can directly influence the love we receive in return.
In practice
In a speech about community service, I would quote this to inspire volunteers.

Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don't know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.
