For a long time I didn't understand what a lot of folks meant by my generation being an entitled generation, until I started my own business. One of my core assumptions used to be that I just deserved to be successful, because I'm me. Why else? But as I started my first business and it failed, and then my second and it failed... I started to really wonder if I had what it took.
The Daily Love is my third try, but this time, it's not about me. I created TDL to be of service, and being the guy who runs it, I have learned how to get out of my own agenda and step into service.
I remember one time last year at "Date With Destiny", an AWESOME Tony Robbins seminar, Tony was talking about the whole idea of adding value to other people's lives.
I was confused by this word "Value" - what the heck does that mean? I didn't understand. I always seemed like some corporate word that everyone used, but didn't really mean anything. It certainly didn't mean anything to me! But the more Tony talked about adding value to other people's lives, the more I began to understand.
Value isn't some kind of plastic discount card or membership rewards points - value means changing someone else's life for the better - consistently. When I got that, and realized that success in business was about inspiring and moving people emotionally, it all changed for me. Not just in business, but in all areas of my life.
Instead of looking for what I could get, I started to look for what I could give. Instead of looking for how other people weren't helping me, I just decided to help other people. And when it came to my clients, I focused on the outcome I wanted, instead of how tired I was, or what I needed. I became much less selfless in all aspects of my life. And when this happened, it was like the Uni-verse finally could celebrate the gift that it gave me to give, and all kinds of abundance started to show up.
What's so beautiful about TDL is that it is a free offering. And my hope is that it does add value to your life. So instead of looking for what you can get, how can you start to look for what you can give? What if The Uni-verse created you as a gift giver, and by not giving away your gifts you are stopping the abundance from showing up in your life?
What if there was no such thing as competition or a need to crush other people. What if we are all unique and perfect expressions of Love? What if you were sent to GIVE all you've got to yourself and then to others, and in that giving - you allow the Uni-verse to give to you in bigger and better ways that your mind cannot imagine?
This isn't just some airy fairy shit that I'm talking about. I went from couch surfing and broke to being on Oprah's Lifeclass, making more money in a recession that I ever did before and so much more - all from GIVING! Giving is the new paycheck! This is real shit. I don't say this for my health or to blow smoke... I'm breaking down how to get out of that funk. Add value and value will be added unto you. Not once, not twice, but all the time.
See to raise others my friends and you will be raised.
Love,
Mastin
