If you have worked to learn or earn something, you have the ability to pass it on to others. If you live by the Law of Contribution, you will have much to give other people, because growing yourself enables you to grow others.
Giving of your time, expertise, and resources without expecting anything in return is an unselfish act that makes the world a better place. We need more gives. When you focus more on the wants and needs of others, more of your own wants and needs are met. In contrast, when you choose to hoard what you have, rather than give, you become the center of your own lonely universe and you become less content, not more. As a result, you repel both people and potential blessings.
Cultivate an Attitude of Contribution
- Be grateful
- Put people first
- Don’t let stuff own you
- Don’t let people own you
- Define success as sowing, not reaping
- Focus on self-development, not self-fulfillment
- Keep growing to keep giving
