Beyond Self

According to Joel Osteen, "so much of our culture is inward focused." We are all living our thought. People are conditioned to think, “what’s in it for me?” But the most rewarding way to live is not with the attitude, “How can I get blessed today?” No, if we are always self-focused wondering how we can benefit all the time, we are definitely living with a shallow, temporary mentality. Instead of looking out only for your good, turn it around and say, “How can I be a blessing to others? Who can I inspire to rise higher? What seeds of greatness can I call forth out of someone?” Leaders, that’s living at a higher level. That's living with monumental responsibility.

Today, I encourage you to be on the lookout for ways to be a blessing to other people.
