There’s a saying that I believe holds true. It says, “if you wish to receive more of life’s rewards, look to create more value for others”.

The question then becomes how does one go about creating value. This is an area where most folks over think it in my humble opinion.

Giving value can, and does come in many forms. It can range from the referral which leads to a new source of business, all the way down to the person who shares a smile with another — that in turn helps them start their day on a positive note.

A simple, but effective way to create value

One of the simplest ways I know to make a positive impact is to adopt the role of people builder and encourager to others. If you will look for opportunities to point out the good in those around you, you’ll begin to notice that others are not only more attracted to you, but that in many cases bigger and better opportunities are as well.

The simple fact that so few people practice the art of proactive encouragement puts those who make it a regular part of their routine in an enviable place.

In a world where more often than not others are more interested in bringing others down, to make themselves look better, those who build others up are a valuable asset to have around. Be that person, and you’ll begin to reap more of the rich rewards that go along with doing so.

It’s your life, LIVE BIG!
