SHARE YOUR RESOURCES

I don’t know how many of you like me have been around folks who seemed uncomfortable in their ‘skin’. I mean, folks who treat their success like it came through luck...

It is quite pathetic and pitiable when I see and meet individuals who either have low opinions of who they are or have over-bloated opinions of themselves. Either way you look at it, it's still a problem.
It is even more disgraceful when they try to do it with some air of ‘class’ that makes them look class-less. Like my friend, Mike, would describe acts like this: “Executive Stupidity”... Talk about someone’s “ignorance gone on rampage...”

Another facet to this is the attitude of some persons towards whatever they've got and how they choose to use [or hide] it..............

Haven’t you met folks who bragged about all the high connections they have? Somehow, you got to discover he/she isn’t lying. But, the picture becomes like chalk and cheese when you ask him/her for a little favour regarding the contacts he/she claims to have. They are quick to cook up several excuses not to help out.

Let me give a graphical picture: You ask a sister [or brother] for a contact she has which you know would help your business improve. This fellow knows you are someone of high repute, so the thought of you being a potential embarrassment is not an issue...

In an ideal world, she would be proud that she’s at least got something that someone she could help someone with.... She’d also be happy her name is probably going to enjoy a slot of prominence in someone’s success story and lots of other fantastic tuffs............

But, what do you get in this world of ours, particularly from our countrymen? That sister quickly denies ever having the contact and even suggests some persons you could ask who she thinks might help you.

Some of the common reasons I have discovered make people act this pathetic manner is either as a result of insecurity or jealousy. They are either afraid someone would steal their shine; use the contact they have to become better than they are or that the person wants to “add the ‘little’ contact that I have to his own...”

All these I see as a sign of smallness of the mind. This only reveals poverty of the mind and a high degree of insecurity. You will always get saboteurs and nuisances when you always entertain thought that everybody around you is one.

If you will ever attain good success, you must learn to share your resources. Never be scared someone may use it to get better than you are. While they are growing, you keep growing. That’s the beauty of life. Success doesn’t come because of what you have. But, it becomes guaranteed when you know how to use what you have. One fundament al principle any man who has attained success will teach you is the LAW OF SHARING......... “For he that waters shall be watered...”

The contacts you think you own alone, someone somewhere also has it. When he shares it with those you are hoarding it from, you will have only succeeded in reducing yourself to a mockery.........

Invest in people. Let them know what you know. Duplicate yourself in people - this is the sure route to greatness. Help is an investment... a wise one!

Watch a man who hoards his resources, though he may go up but he never goes far in life.

I want to see you at the top, where you truly belong.

You must happen!
