Something to offer
+++++++++++++++++++

You can have anything you desire when you have something to offer in return. The path to lasting success is traveled by continuously creating something new and valuable to offer.

If your focus is on getting, and taking, and acquiring, you will meet up with much resistance. Such an approach will make it nearly impossible to accomplish the goals you’ve set for yourself.

Focus instead on finding ways to give, to create value, and to make that real and meaningful value available to others.
When you seek to give of yourself, the possibilities for doing so will have no limit.

Many people are, by nature, quite thoroughly self-centered.
Do you realize what an incredible opportunity that represents?

By giving people what they want, you can readily achieve whatever you want. Work to advance the interests of others, and your own interests are even more profoundly advanced.

Look at the world around you and ask yourself what you’re able to offer that can bring value to the moment and to the situation. Answer that question and you’ve figured out how to move quickly ahead.

Quick Thought:

“Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.” James 5:7-8 (NKJ)

Mark 13:28-31

“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender, and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.”

“Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door.”

“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” Mark 13:28-31 (NAS)

John 8:12-20

“Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” The Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You are bearing witness of Yourself; your witness is not true.”

“Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of myself, My witness is true; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, or where I am going.”

“You people judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone. But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and He who sent me. Even in your law it has been written, that the testimony of two men is true. I am He who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”

“And so they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me, nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.” John 8:12-20 (NAS)
