Even the most powerful was once powerless. When we are born, we rely completely on others for support. As we grow in strength and ability, we become more independent – but even this comes from receiving from others in some measure. It is only when we look back at where we were and where we are that we understand our power came from others before us. This should remind us to give back in the measure that we received.
“It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.” ―Albert Einstein
Multiply your impact. Leaving your mark on the world is a desire that we all share. The farthest reaching impact anyone can achieve comes not from what is personally accomplished but in the multiplicative effect of helping others succeed. To grow your impact, you must spread your influence through others. Invest your time in activities that plant the seeds of success far and wide.
“Power is strength; and giving that strength to others. A leader is someone willing to give their strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.” –Beth Revis
Success is all about loving what you do. Life passes by so quickly we should seek to enjoy every moment. The greatest achievements come from seeing others accomplish their goals and knowing that you had some small part in helping them realize their potential.
“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” Robin Sharma
