What’s Your Contribution?

I have always been told that if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. What do you stand for? So I have found myself asking what my contribution to the world is. I mean if you aren't trying to help the world move forward then what good are you? It's all good that you are successful and making good cash but is that it? Life is about so much more than you as the individual……………….whether you know it or not it really is. Your individual success is of no circumstance to the rest of the world. Your level of success should directly reflect and affect those around you. So in short if you successful yet you continue to let others around you struggle WITHOUT providing them with information then you are useless.

Now this does not mean that you are useless if you are indeed providing information and they are just not applying that info to get out of their situation. Don't let ANYONE take advantage of you………EVER! That is a totally different situation. What I am talking about are the self made individuals that want to keep everything to themselves. All the information that they have all the struggles that they went through and all the hardships that they had to endure. SO WHAT!!! Everyone has their thing and personally I don't want to watch someone make the same mistakes that I have made in life. Hell it was painful enough the first time I did it so why would I stand idly by while someone else went through the EXACT same thing?

True successful individuals NEVER hesitate to GIVE. Never hesitate to TEACH. Never hesitate to INFORM. Never hesitate to MOTIVATE. That's what makes a truly successful person. Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffett…………….these are truly successful individuals that just happen to be the world's leading philanthropist. They understand that with large amounts of success come the responsibility of leadership. Now I am not saying that you have to have mega dollars or make in excess of six figures in order to consider yourself a success. All you have to do is use applied knowledge and provide guidance to those that might not be as fortunate. It's as simple as watching your co-workers make mistakes and showing them what they are doing wrong. Your skill set could be anything from gardener to Pro-football player. It doesn't matter. Just put forth the effort to make a contribution.

When you die and leave this Earth your success won't be measured by what you had while you were here, it will be measured by what legacy you leave once you are gone.
