selflessness

The Three Pillars of Prosperity are Mind, Body and Soul. Lets talk a little bit about soul...

The best way to enhance and prosper your soul is to help others improve their soul. I like the word "servitude". Serving others is the only way to build a healthy self image. Humans by nature are selfish, and by nature operate as emotional roller coasters because of their selfishness. Its amazing how so many different movies and life experiences show us this. For instance, Pay It Forward was an incredible movie that people love because of the admirable characteristics displayed. You see honor, courage, humility, and above all a sense of selflessness. I guess the best way to describe an at of selflessness is when someone gives the explanation "I just did the right thing". People try to hide from the truth, but the fact is deep down inside we are all hungry for acceptance, attention and approval.

Many successful people can look back to the one person who changed their life because of their selflessness. Great people who most certainly would not be great if it weren't for someone's selflessness. I know we are all trying to become better everyday and move on in life closer to our goals. I know it is easier to take a bullet point list of to do's and apply it to change something in your life. Selflessness is less about change though and more about other people. I challenge you to make a daily note to remind yourself that today is not about you. You see, if today is about you; you can never be great. Great accomplishments are only great because they involve more than just you to accomplish them. I believe the definition of success is how many people were better off because you lived.

Please take a moment and share a selfless thing someone else has done for you that has helped you more forward in life. Lets let this be a reminder of how great people really are.
