Help them uncover blind spots to reach their potential.
That's so true! Helping others is way more rewarding than just focusing on yourself.
We don't need to bring people down for us to grow. Everyone will have a different timing, and probably exposure to different things too, but in one way or the other, we can celebrate each other's victories because their victory doesn't mean he has taken all the space and there is nothing left for me.
I think part of the problem is that we are taught to be in competition pretty much all of the time. Social media has made it worse because it's comprised mostly of wins and we think that is how everyone else's life is all the time. When we finally accept that we aren't in competition with anyone else, we can focus on improving ourselves. When we are only competing with ourselves, it is easier to genuinely cheer for other people.
Reminder: Imagine a crowd of people and the place is SRO (standing room only) and you're the only person who seems to understand that you might be the one who has diligently worked hard to care most about the production or work. Then occasionally the audience claps. You get done with your presentation. The audience stands and gives you a round of applause. Remains standing. That's a contribution. People know that. Respect for you 100 percent.
High-EQ individuals understand that success is most fulfilling when it's shared. It's important to uplift others by offering encouragement, support, guidance, and opportunities. Helping others succeed doesn't take away from your own success - it adds value to it. Remember, we make a life by what we give.
I couldn't agree more! Helping others succeed brings so much fulfillment. It's a great reminder to give and support! Justin Wright 👍
I have been on LinkedIn looking for work for over a year this time. Where are all the truly successful people out there who really knows that success is better shared? I've met maybe 3 total people through LinkedIn that have shown an interest at all in helping with any of the items noted in your list. I am perplexed constantly by the egos and pompous in the business world. The need to hide away knowledge or dole it out to people already doing great in their lives, i.e. successful people already businessmen who the golf with maybe. I don't know.
The hard work and success of others create a positive and supportive environment by fostering a culture of encouragement and mutual respect. When individuals see their peers putting in effort and achieving their goals, it inspires them to strive for their own success. This collective ambition not only drives personal growth but also builds a sense of community where everyone is motivated to support one another. Celebrating each other's achievements cultivates a spirit of camaraderie, reducing feelings of competition and replacing them with collaborative enthusiasm. In such an environment, individuals are more likely to share knowledge, offer help, and uplift each other, leading to a more productive and harmonious atmosphere. The shared recognition of hard work and success reinforces the idea that everyone's contributions are valuable, creating a cycle of positive reinforcement that benefits the entire group.
