In the old paradigm, the word was always, "What's in it for me?" Business was a bloody, cutthroat, red ocean of crushing them before they annihilate me. Just look around, and you see its demise everywhere. Thank goodness.
Out with the old! In this new paradigm, the only way to make a dime is by giving talent and time. Today's successful people focus on caring and service. The paramount concern in today's business life looks at being in service for the greatest good of all concerned.
Rather than worrying about the competition, today's business people see that servicing 5% of their niche makes them a good living. They do not need to hog the entire 100%. Everyone who provides an honest and ethical service or product gets an honest piece of the whole. The new thought form is, "There is enough to go around."
There really is, you know, enough for each to enjoy their share without depriving others.
Let's clean up the mess of failed businesses and life. Let's take the knife of creation and sculpt a new world. We can detail it with love. Fill it with abundance that comes from above.
Bless everyone you meet. Bless everything you see. Bless all you do to make this a better world complete with love, caring, and sharing.
We can make life about giving and receiving. No keeping score. No deprivation. No hoarding. Did you ever notice those who keep their possessions for themselves, seem to experience the greatest fear of loss? Interesting, how that works. Those people will never have enough of what they fear losing. Never.
I do need to clarify one point. Many people really cannot take care of themselves. I believe in assisting them. However, I believe it is a rare person who cannot contribute something in return. For instance, some people are terrific at smiling. They lighten your heart just by smiling. Some people are great listeners. Some people can clean and wax a floor better than just about anyone.
Every person possesses a unique gift and talent. I do not believe in handouts. I think handouts keep people stuck. I believe in showing people a way to share their unique gift and talent to contribute so others may benefit.
People are social creatures. Let's all make this world a great place to live together.
