The degree to which you focus on bringing immense value to the lives of others — that’s the degree to which your own influence will soar.
I love the following quote by Michael A. Singer, a hugely successful entrepreneur and author of the wonderful books, The Untethered Soul, The Surrender Experiment, and Living Untethered.
He writes…
Key Point: “The highest thing you could do with your life is make it so that every moment that passes before you is better because it did. That’s the highest definition of the purpose of life. That every single moment, every person, every moment that happens to unfold in front of you is better off because it passed by you. It was raised a little.”
WOW! What a powerful idea to keep at the very top of consciousness!
Thought to Consider: When you’re the type of person who lives according to Mr. Singer’s statement — always looking to make everyone and everything “better off” — doesn’t it make sense that those whose lives you so positively touch would feel great about you? And that your influence with them would grow?
No, that isn’t *why* you do it. It just happens to be the natural *result* of such.
Exercise: Try to stay consciously aware of Mr. Singer’s quote during every interpersonal interaction, whether in-person, online, or on the telephone. At the end of the day, conduct a self-review and see how you did.
