Always Make Your Future Bigger Than Your Past
By: Dan Sullivan and Catherine Nomura
Growth is a fundamental desire of all human beings.
Growth is at the root of everything that gives us a feeling of accomplishment, satisfaction, meaning, and progress.
Sometimes growing pains can feel like failure-and sometimes failure is a part of growth.
Here are the Ten Laws of Your Lifetime Growth:
Always Make Your Future Bigger Than Your Past.
Always Make Your Learning Greater Than Your Experience.
Always Make Your Contribution Bigger Than Your Reward.
Always Make Your Performance Greater Than Your Applause.
Always Make Your Gratitude Greater Than Your Success.
Always Make Your Enjoyment Greater Than Your Effort.
Always Make Your Cooperation Greater Than Your Status.
Always Make Your Confidence Greater Than Your Comfort.
Always Make Your Purpose Greater Than Your Money.
Always Make Your Questions Bigger Than Your Answers.
When you choose to grow by acting in alignment with the ten laws, opportunity naturally comes to you, ideas and resources flow to you, and people with the right skills, passions, visions, and connections tend to show up to help you.
Because of this connection, growth always has a ripple effect.
So one of the great benefits of living in alignment with the laws is that, as we grow in order to make our own lives richer and more meaningful, we also make a significant positive impact on the world. This contribution brings us rewards-encouragement, resources, and opportunities-that in turn help us continue to pursue more growth. Because of this, the more you grow, the easier and more enjoyable it becomes to keep growing.
You might think, so much has to change before this can be true, and you are right.
A world like this is created when more and more individuals like you make the decesion to grow: taking the laws to heart, deciding to live this way for their own reasons, making their own unique contributions, and providing examples for others along the way.
