"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."
-Albert Einstein
Happy Monday ! I hope you are planning to bring your very best to the world today.
When was the last time you really evaluated your effort. It's so easy to be caught up in a the stream of activity that fills our daily lives. We all run around so frenzied and busy.
But WHY? What are we chasing? What exactly is our effort producing?
I have studied the world's thought leaders and philosophers and most create very lucrative businesses by selling people keys to success. But very few focus on helping a person create value.
Is a billionaire who neglects his/her kids a success?
Are we successful in managing our health if we reach a target weight, or have a six pack but become malnourished in the process?
If we reach the top spot, but lose our friends have we succeeded?
My point is simple. My message is consistent. STRAY FROM THE HERD! They pursue the success on the outside.
Let's face it. We will never be successful on the outside if we haven't first become successful on the inside. INTERNAL VICTORIES ARE THE PATH TO REAL and LASTING SUCCESS.
But here is the amazing part!
Our internal growth and transformation forever alters the outside. Our success becomes tied to the success of others.
We serve because we aren't competing.
We give our lives away, because we are giving value.
We are no longer slaves to the grind of compulsion. But we labor for the sake of others by volition.
Find one person each day this week that you will give your best to. By Friday you will be more successful than you are today.
Have a great week!
"If the ax is dull and you don't sharpen the edge, more strength is required, but wisdom helps you to succeed." Ecclesiastes 10:10
