Use your passion to add value <\/strong><\/h1>\n

Reap extraordinary rewards<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Your passion<\/strong> is a source of unlimited energy<\/strong>. This energy comes from your soul<\/strong>, or spirit<\/strong> or heart<\/strong>. Every human has passion, but it appears that not many are pursuing it.<\/p>\n

I believe that the Universe rewards us in life for the value that we add to others\u2019 lives. The Universe clearly works according to certain scientific<\/strong> and predictable principles<\/strong>, and this is one of those principles.<\/p>\n

This does not mean that you will not receive anything without adding value: that is a different principle at work.\u00a0 For example, refugees receive assistance<\/strong> and support without giving anything in return.<\/p>\n

So my challenge to you today is this: identify the value that you are adding! Investigate deeply to understand how much value you are adding,<\/p>\n

I encourage you to start thinking about these two challenges, and then articulate your responses. When you start to understand how this universal principle<\/strong> works, and apply it to yourself, you will behave differently. You might ask for a pay rise, or you might even say to your employer, in your integrity<\/strong>, I am not adding enough value so you should either reduce my pay or increase the ways in which I can add value.<\/p>\n

Your ability to add value is linked to your passion.<\/h2>\n

When you are passionate<\/strong>, you have access to amazing amounts of energy, and this energy determines your productivity. Your productivity<\/strong> will determine the value that you can add.<\/p>\n

Let me share three specific simple examples of adding value:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A florist who sells you flowers for a funeral for $60 is adding value to your life because she is satisfying your (non-material) desire to express your sympathy to someone who matters to you. If that desire is strong, it is clearly worth more than $60, and the florist has added value.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A receptionist at a business who earns $700 per week may or may not add value. What problems does he or she solve while acting as a receptionist?<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As a professional speaker, when I earn $6000 for a speech, if just one member of an audience who is a salesperson changes his or her behavior to be more passionate and more effective, the value generated for the company who paid me could easily be more than $60,000 every year thereafter!<\/p>\n
