From the moment we are born we see the world through our own eyes. Everything we see, everything we do, everything we think is from our point of view, and it’s easy to become selfish. I always notice it when I start thinking things like…
- What can they do for me?
- Why are they treating me this way?
Because so much of the world is focused on self an easy way to stand out is to actually care about other people. Change the questions…
- What can I do for them?
- How can I improve their lives?
- Who can I introduce them to, to better their career?
- How can I train someone to be better?
I know it’s simple and rather cliche, but by truly focusing on others with no hidden agenda you’ll gain more friends, followers, and change more lives than you can ever imagine.
