Read this slowly.
We steal from others when we don't share our gifts with them.
(Selfishness)
When we don't serve them, we steal from ourselves. (Joy,
profit)
When we steal from ourselves and 'cage' our gifts, we feel
anxiety, frustration, lack of enthusiasm, and sometimes
depression.
Read this 2x.
In the 1940's, America's greatest salesman was Elmer Wheeler,
read what he said.
"The most selfish way to be is to be unselfish."
Everything you want in life you get from OTHER people.
The money you need to be financially set sits in SOMEONE
ELSE'S pocket right now.
How do you get them to be EXCITED to share some with you?
UNSELFISHNESS = Gifts Shared = Problems Solved = Transfer Of
Cash To You
Do you see more clearly how SELFISHNESS hurts everyone?
You can't get what you first won't give.
Read this, it was written 100+ years ago by the GREAT Orison
Swett Marden.
"One reason why we get such stingy results from our life work
is because we are not more generous givers of ourselves, our
sympathy, and encouragement. We must give more in order to
get more.
He who is stingy of his sympathy, of his helpfulness, of his
praise, and appreciation, pinches, starves, and strangles his
own nature.
It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the
generous harvest. Many people are so stingy of their
sympathies, their praise, and appreciation, are so afraid of
giving away something, they are so shut in - the shutters of
their lives so tightly closed - that their natures are
stunted and starved for the lack of sunshine and air.
It is astonishing how rapidly a person will develop when he
opens up his nature and flings out his life with all his
might in the service of others. There is nothing which will
do so much for the life as the early forming of the good-will
habit, the kindly habit, the habit of saying pleasant things
about others."
Life is about development.
How can you develop if you don't release and let go of what
you have now to invite your next level to show up?
Become 1% more useful.
Your kids will appreciate it.
Love Ya! You're The Best!
Your Coach,
Mike
So true! Wow! You are on a constant roll. I love your service to other young visionaries.
Keep it up!
Mike,
I happen to be a part of an incredible business that is designed to show people how much you care and what they mean to you. My logo that I put on all my information is "Remember, everyone needs to be appreciated, remembered and thanked." What you are saying is so true, and if you take a few minutes to send someone a card letting them know you are thinking about them, it can make a difference in a lot of people's lives. That is one of the reasons that I LOVE what I do. The other one is the fact that I become successful by showing other people how to do the same. What an amazing journey my life has become!

Thanks again Mike
For sometime now I have developed a habit of writting one thank you note a day.
I write it down on my daily to do list.(1 TY note)
It's easy & makes me & them feel good.
The 'goodwill-habit'--I like that.
The Boy Scouts teach 'do a good turn daily.'

I love that, you always get beck what you put in, in some way, shape or form.....This is good stuff....I can get going so fast in life that I forget that my mission is to share, then get paid.....I can see clearly what you mean.... Thank you
Steph
Mike,
Another great post.
And on top of all that, if you don't use and share your gifts, you will lose them.
Sharing your gifts profitably is the only way to succeed and if you don't use your gifts, you will end up being stripped of these gifts.
Keep up the great work!
Here's to Your LifetoSuccess,

Hearty applause Mike! I couldn't agree more with what you are saying!
You painted a very clear picture... one which would fit many people! If only they realise the more you give to others the more you receive. The more you give unconditionally and freely of yourself the more you grow and develop and gain.

Hi Mike,
If any of your readers are involved in a management career, they may benefit from some of the articles I have posted onto my wordpress blog.
I have selflessly shared some of my experiences which have practical lessons and applications to follow.
Thank you for all that you do,
Bill

Hi Mike,
Jesus told his disciples pretty much the same thing when they were arguing about who would be the greatest in his kingdom: You who would be the great must be your servant, and you who would be first must be your slave. The best kept secret to having true power in life is to serve others rather than seeking to be served. Plus it is also a lot of fun!
Dear Mike:
This is very helpful as I try to 'give away' the art form of the next era (millennium).
Also, Sturgeon's GREAT short story, The Man Who Learned Love, tells of a hippie who discovers free energy, and must become a tycoon to get it to everyone in the best way. AKA 'Brownshoes'. In 'Sturgeon is Alive and Well,' used cheap from Amazon, etc.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for this.
I needs to hear this right now.
I like the intro.
"We steal from others when we don’t share our gifts with them.
(Selfishness)"
We need do be givers without knowing it. Must become a lifstyle, not only a reward driven. Then we will be completly free. That is why God created us, to be free.
Give yourself free without wanting anithing back. To that and then you will become truly Selfishness, and the chain reaction starts just better.
Thanks
Jannie
Mike, you are a blessing,i truly wish you teachings could get to the four corners of the world..You just confirmed my decision of serving humanity before thinking of myself.
Someone said, JOY means Jesus 1st,Others 2nd & Yourself last.I saw the reality and the truth in this teaching.We truly need to learn the habit of looking for the pleasnt side of others to talk about.
You are a genius to this generation.
