I Wish I Knew This at 20

 May I humbly suggest that the enemy of greatness is unusefulness. What I mean by this is that once you find a purpose and seek more meaning from your work, you’ll naturally rise above any obstacles and defeat any difficulties because the finest part of you would take a bullet for your mission. Your Cause doesn’t have to be to feed hungry children across the planet or to save the oceans. It could be to release an app that helps parents free up time or to write a screenplay that spreads wonderful values or to advance a startup that helps artists succeed. I don’t know what your “Magnificent Taj Mahal” will be yet I do know to at once you discover it (and often it can be found right where you’re planted) and then start steadily making it real, you’ll be flooded with energy and strength that will not only make you unkillable but one of those rare-air people who remind everyone around you of the best of human possibility.

This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one. You can order it now by clicking here.

I really wish I knew this at 20. Being loving and being open and caring about other people and being absolutely obsessed about helpfulness to other people by delivering extreme amounts of value to them is not only the right thing to do. It not only uplifts your joy. It not only grows your self-confidence and makes you feel good when your head hits the pillow every night. It's an amazing business strategy because then you develop these evangelists for your brand. and these fanatical followers for your products because few things are as powerful as being in the presence of someone who genuinely cares, especially right now.
