Seven Things You Must Give to Others if You Want to Achieve Success!
A major part of the process of achieving success and living the kind of lifethat you dream of is to give. Many people think that to get what you wantyou have to take it. There is a universal truth though that the true path toget what you want is to give. When you give, you get. What you sow, youshall reap. If this is true, then what is it we must give? I'll show you theway... Give Others Your Honesty. The world we live in has a simple rule that mostfollow: Lie when you have to. Unfortunately, this may make some peoplewealthy but it make us humans poor. To achieve success is to become wealthynot only in money, but in character. To be successful, truly successful, isto be able to attain your goals and keep your character at the same time! "Honesty is the most single most important factor having a direct bearing onthe final success of an individual, corporation, or product." Ed McMahon Mister McMahon is right, though others will tell you otherwise. Some peoplewill say, "You have to bend the truth to get ahead." Not true. Some of themost successful people who have ever lived where honest people. How about you? Are you honest in all things? The problem with little lies isthey become big ones. Lies spin out of control. You get caught in one lieand you lie to get out of it etc. In all things and at all times, give others your honesty. Give Others Your Respect. Most of the time we give people respect based onwhat they have done or what they have accomplished. We gauge whether or notthey are "worthy" of it based on what we know of what they have achieved orwho they know or are related to. But I believe we should have a higher standard: We respect people not forwhat they have done or for who they are related to or for what they can dofor us. Instead, we respect people for simply being. What would happen in our world, in our company, and yes, even in ourfamilies if we started with respect for everyone else rather than makingthem earn it? I think we would see that most people would live up to therespect that we give them! Give Others Your Vulnerability. We are taught to "be strong." And yes, weshould be strong. But we have also embraced something that I think keeps usfrom having the kind of life that we long for. It is an idea that keeps usfrom experiencing the kind of relationships that would bring deep meaning tous. It is the idea of vulnerability. "But Chris, make yourself vulnerable and people will step all over you!" Itis true that this will happen. But I have also seen that most people will bedrawn to you. They will help you. They will open up to you. You see, we areall broken people inside. We all have secrets. Yet everyone plays the poser.When one let's down their veil, others soon follow - and we all win. Give Others Your Care. Too many people are running around this old earth notcaring about others. The days of "Look Out for Number One" and "WinningThrough Intimidation" are over! Let's bring about a new day when we can careabout others AND succeed! Take the time to show people you care. Listen to them. Empathize with them.Love them. Now, I don't mean that you have to go around hugging everyone -that probably wouldn't fly in corporate America anyway - but we can takesome time to step back from business and be human! And I have found thatwhen we do so, our business succeeds as well! Give Others Your Passion. There is nothing this world needs more thanpassionate people. And people need passionate people. Living in this day andage can be tiring. The hustle and bustle of it all can wear you down andtire you out. Give your passion to others and fire them up. Don't just be humdrum - be excited. Give people all the energy you canmuster up. And you will find that energy reciprocal. They will get energizedand passionate. This in turn will fire you up more when you are alreadycharged and get you going altogether when you don't feel like moving at all! Give Others Your Experience. We all have areas that we excel in and they areusually areas that we have experience in. One of the things we can do tomake our lives more meaningful and be of utmost help to others is to showthem the way through the experiences we have. Sometimes it will be what they should do: Shortcuts to take, people to meetetc. Sometimes it will be what they should not do: Shortcuts not to take andpeople toasty away from! Whatever it is, we can be of service to others bygiving them our experience and ultimately it will make us all better! Give Others Your Help. All in all, what we want to do is to help others. ZigZiglar says that if we will "help others get what they want, we will in turnget what we want." If we want to be successful, we should consider ourselvesservants of other people. What can we do to help them and make them better?This is the true path to greatness and success, not only in business but inlife! If you want to live the life you have always dreamed of ask yourself if you: Give Others Your Honesty About The Author: Chris Widener is a popular speaker and writer as well as the President of Made for Success, a company helping individuals and organizations turn their potential into performance, succeed in every area of their lives and achieve their dreams.
