Value is More Than a Big Bank Account
Success can be lonely.
Just
read the biography of any business baron who died rich and friendless.
Indeed,
there is a difference between achieving success in a selfish effort to serve
oneself, and achieving success while dedicated to the service of others.
True
success and value come when we take our eyes off ourselves and focus on the
benefit of others.
Think
about the people you know who enrich the
lives of those around them. Maybe you’re one of them. More times than not,
they are looking outward, considering how they can meet the needs of others and
make an impact on their world. How can I
help? How can I improve things for others? How can I change the world for the better?
Zig
Ziglar said it best when he said, “You can have everything in
life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.”
When
you are a value-driven person, you seek to leave the world a little bit better
than when you found it. It’s not about selflessness or martyrdom, it’s about
impact. It’s not just money that creates true wealth; it’s value.
So strive to serve
as you achieve, and you will truly be rich.
