It is virtually impossible to live isolated from the world. Interaction with others is important and necessary. Our success and happiness are a result of our ability to successfully relate with other people. Our capacity to be useful and help others satisfy their necessities determines our ability to achieve our goals and objectives.
The objective of any profession is to be of service. A doctor utilizes his knowledge of the human body to keep people healthy. A carpenter utilizes his hands to construct houses and furniture to make our lives more pleasurable.
The more useful we are, the more success we will have. When we give, we receive. The law never fails. The compensation we receive, monetary and otherwise, is in direct proportion to the service we provide. The more service we provide, the greater the rewards.
There is a tremendous difference between being servile and being of service. Being servile implies being timid, passive and shy. Being of service, on the other hand, implies being outgoing, helping and of assistance others. The perception that one is being servile while being of service is incorrect.
The most well-known people in the world are those who have discovered means of sharing their knowledge and wisdom. They have a decided impact on humanity. The wise man who hides his knowledge is no better than he who knows nothing at all.
When we share our abilities with the world we are compensated accordingly. The surest way to arrive at the destiny we desire is to be useful and to be of service.
All we do is related directly or indirectly with the art of sales. We are constantly selling the idea we are good people and we deserve the love and respect of others. We also sell goods and services which enable us to acquire that which we need and desire.
Selling through trickery and deception may lead to short term success. It is possible to succeed through lies and deception. Initially, it may seem to be the easiest path. We find, however, in the long term we reap what we sow. More often than not, fraudulent strategies fail and fall like a house of cards. Meanwhile, opportunities abound for those who are transparent and honest.
We gravitate towards those relations which are pleasurable. Those who transmit an attitude of service and utility are those who attract life’s abundance and prosperity. They are respected and sought in times of calamity and crisis.
To be useful to our family, friends, and humanity leads us to achieve what we desire in life. As sure as the day follows the night, a positive attitude of usefulness and service leads to success and happiness.
