Invest In Others

There is nothing quite so dead as a self-centered man - a man who holds himself up as a self-made success and measures himself and is pleased with the result. Don't become a legend in your own mind. The man who believes in nothing but himself lives in a very small world. 

The best way to be happy is to forget yourself and focus on other people. The higher you go in life, the more dependent you become on other people. 

Serving others is one of life's most awesome priviledges. The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one self to others. Hunt for the good points in people, then do something to help them. Love others more than they deserve. You can't help others without helping yourself. 

Kindness is one of the most difficult things to give away since it usually comes back to you. If you sow a seed of kindness you enjoy the perpetual harvest. You can never expect too much of yourself in the matter of giving yourself to others. 

There are 3 keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others and sharing with others. Assign yourself the purpose of making others happy and successful. People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be. "You'll always have everything you want in life if you'll help enough other people get what they want". 

There are two types of people in the world: those who come into a room and say "Here I am!" and those who come in and say, "Ah, there you are". If you cannot win, make the one ahead of you break the record. Invest in others. It pays great dividends. A good way to forget your own trouble, is to help others out of theirs. Work together with others.

Refuse To Live a Targetless Life

The ability to set a goal is the master skill to success. Success is goals, all else is commentary. You cannot hit a target you cannot see, if you don't have one. One of the greatest mistakes and a waste of life is living without a clear purpose or goal. A life without clear goals is a life doomed to failure.  Any man who selects a goal in life which can be fully achieved has already defined his own limitation. So the clearer you are about your goal, the more rapidly you'll attract people and circumstances into your life to help make that goal a reality.  Most people have their eye on the wrong goal. Is more money, a higher position or more influence your goal? These are not goals but are the by-products of true goals. We should work to become, not acquire.  Measure wealth not by things you have, but by the things you have for which you would not take money. Happiness is not a reward - it's a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it's result. ...

Your Potential Is Your Purpose

Dr Myles Munroe shares a powerful idea that I would like to share with you. He says that the wealthiest places in the world are not the gold mines of South America or the oil fields of Iraq or Iran. They're not the diamond mines of South Africa or the banks of the world. The wealthiest place on the planet is just down the road. It is the cemetery. There lie buried, companies that were never started, inventions that were never made, best-selling books that were never written and masterpieces that were never painted. In the cemetery is buried the greatest treasure of untapped potential. There is a treasure within you that must come out. It is your potential. Don’t go to the grave with your treasure still within you. "There lies within each person a huge reservoir of untapped potential for achievement, success, happiness, health and greater prosperity. It's like an ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled ...

The Obstacles in Our Way

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition.
