The Rabbi story you read earlier is a great reminder of how our attitudes determine our perceptions and ultimately our outcomes. If you are seeking more respect, then show more respect to others. If you are seeking more success, then you must start becoming the person you want to be. This  is what is meant by living by the Law of Attraction. You cannot give what you do not have; therefore, it is very important to become more. As the German philosopher Goethe said, “Before you can do something, you must first be something.”
