Be Grateful Linkies :)
It is easy to expect success as if being successful was a right instead of a privilege and a gift. The problem with expecting to succeed is that, without more, the self-absorption of that expectation can slowly and subtly poison everything around you, including your business. True success is earned and when it arrives it should be, and needs to be, accompanied by a strong sense of gratitude. This gratitude is not simply about being grateful for what you've achieved. It is about being grounded enough in the moment of success to remember and recognize everyone who helped you get to this particular time and place. Without this grounded gratefulness any success is lessened and will, in all likelihood, be fleeting.
So how do you repay those how helped you in achieving your goals? Well, obviously, acknowledging those individuals and sharing the benefits of your success with them is a great place to start. Yet, above and beyond taking care of your nearest and dearest, you also need to "pay it forward" by becoming a mentor and helper to others who are currently on their own journey towards success. Think about how you can collaborate with someone else in order to further their efforts. See if you can contribute in some way to their projects. This contribution doesn't have to be monetary. Advice and the wisdom of experience are often far more valuable than cold cash.
This gratitude can extend even further. There are people who are currently helping you every day that you may not see as mentors. Your customers are among these people. Without them, success becomes impossible. Take the time to let them know how important they are. Your vendors are also equally important. Yes, they provide you with materials that you pay them for, but a true grounded and grateful attitude would also recognize each of them for the critical element they play in your business. Look outside the box and you'll see that success is not a solo effort, it's a team sport.
For me success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world...
Thanks And Regards

For me it would be?"success is not how high you have climbed, but how many you helped make the climb with you and how much easier you made the climb for those who follow you up the mountain."

5 年Great comment Kalmaldeep, I am currently working with Microsoft Philanthropies TEALSK12 program.? It is a program whereby Software Professionals volunteer for community service to assist and mentor high school teachers to bring Computer Science education into American high schools nationwide.? This is no small endeavor, but the more people I reach out to, the more I realize how eager people are willing to give back to their communities.? Human kindness is very much alive and I'm so grateful to be a part of it!
