Effort Is Good, But...
How many times have you worked hard for something you wanted and gotten
nowhere? We can believe we're moving forward, when in fact, we are sometimes
slipping backwards.
The purest definition of success I have heard so far comes from Earl Nightingale, author, speaker and motivational expert, who said, "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal."
In saying "progressive" Mr. Nightingale meant that there must be continual movement. Success is never a destination, it is the journey.
He said "realization" because we need to know that we are moving forward. At times that's difficult to see. The journey to where we want to be is never a straight line and nothing unfolds exactly as planned.
And in saying "worthy" Mr. Nightingale meant something we can be proud of. This is in line with something another speaker, Zig Zigler, said, "If you help enough other people get what they want, life will return to you more than enough of what you want."
Service before self is not new. It is a very old idea that separates the truly happy from the marginally displeased. A truly happy person knows that they have made life better for someone else and that knowledge results in warm feelings. On the other hand, someone focused only on what they can get for themselves may get much - - but in spite of all that they have gotten, the end result is cold empty feelings.
Service before self is in harmony with a universal truth, the law of service and reward. If we hope to enjoy the rewards we must be willing to pay the price. And the price is - - service to others.
As you go about each day, think in terms of helping others. When dealing with anyone in person or over the phone, ask yourself, "How can I help this person? What can I do to make a difference in their life?"
A smile or a kind word or two, makes a difference.
Effort is good, but service is better.
