Contribution is leading self while contributing to the growth of others. When your team is contributing to grow others your organization is compounding interest for the sustainability and success of not only the organization but for your team and community.
Ben Franklin asked himself every morning, “What good shall I do today?” and in the evening, “What good have I done today?”
Adding value and contributing to others is one of the greatest joy’s and rewards you and I will ever experience. When I reflect on contributing to others within any area of life my vision goes to the face of a child. My minds-eye picture is when they are learning something new, the joy when someone is showing them how to fail and achieve. The pay-off of contribution is being a part of their joy and excitement when the “aha” moment arrives in achievement. Learning with heart filled joy gives you the ability to learn quickly and love what you do and who you serve.
I challenge you to find your inner joy!To start lift others up and find the inner joy from so long ago on their face. Contribute to someone else as their joy and “aha” brings a contagious momentum in the desire to learn, grow, and keep on giving.
You have the ability to make a difference every day. “I have one life and one chance to make it count for something. My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.” ~ Jimmy Carter
Intentional Contribution:
- Be Grateful
- Put People First
- Don’t Let Stuff Own You
- Don’t Let People Own You
- Define Success by Giving, Not Receiving
- Self-Development, Not Self-Fulfillment
- Keep Growing, Keep Giving
Successful people give of themselves first without asking anything in return. However, to continue giving you must grow into your potential by learning daily with the heart filled joy from your youth. As my friend John Maxwell states, “If you’re not doing something with your life, it doesn’t matter how long it is!”
Start living my friends!
Look UP and OUT,
