I Have Figured Out The LITTLE Known Secret To Success In Life.

It’s SOOO simple and most people miss it because they don’t think it will help them.  No matter what race, religion, creed, color, sex you are  LISTEN UP.  If YOU want to truly be successful in your life, you must GIVE.

What does giving consist of? GIVING consists of investing your time and money into something(person or cause)without expectation of getting anything in return.

When you GIVE something, give will ALL your heart. Literally, don’t give if you don’t have your heart into it.

Each day I strive to give a gift to someone.  A gift isn’t just a monteary object, it’s your time.  A kind word, a nice phone call, a nice email, anything that BRIGHTENS a person’s day is a gift.

How Do I Know Who To Give To? Give to EVERYONE.  Give to your neighbor, a close friend, a stranger, and here’s the tricky one YOUR ENEMY.  Think of someone that you can NOT stand and GIVE to them.  It will drive them nuts!  Trust me, they don’t know what to think

Guess what happens when you start giving?  You WILL be taken care of.

Wayne Dyer says it best  “It’s a universal law- we have to give before we get. We must plant the seeds before we reap the harvest. The more we sow, the more we reap. And in giving to others, we find ourselves blessed. “

Let’s say you want to make 100,000 in the upcoming year.  How would you start doing this?  GIVE.  Find a charitable organization or a cause you BELIEVE IN.

When I say believe, I say something you would take TIME out of your busy schedule to help with.  Money is important in giving, but your TIME is much more valuable than any amount of money in this world.

Here’s another secret on giving, DO NOT TELL ANYONE YOU’RE DOING IT.  Humility will take you places you could never imagine.  Someone needs help on the side of the road, help them OUT.  Do not expect them to give you anything in return for it.

I believe in karma.  I want to GIVE to the world through the BLOG.  That’s my main motivation.  My goal is for each and every single person that visits my website to receive something .

If You Give, You Will Be Successful In Life!

A common excuse I hear is “I don’t have enough (time or money) to give.”  This is simply a cover up for selfishness.  If you are ABLE to read this blog, you are BLESSED.  880 million people worldwide are ILLITERATE.  Can you imagine how much better the world would be if we could reach these people?

Everyone needs vision and direction in their life.  I promise that I will NOT stop giving until the day I die.  GIVE GIVE GIVE.  Some of the most successful people in the world GIVE.  Check out what this celebrity DID and I bet 99% of you had no idea this was done.

Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC (Brook Army Medical Center), in San Antonio, Texas the other day. This is where soldiers that have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the States, especially burn victims.

They have buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher House is a hotel that soldiers’ families can stay at, for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying in the hospital. BAMC has quite a few of these houses on base, but as you can imagine, they are almost filled to the brim most of the time.

While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He got his check book out and wrote a check out for the full amount right there on the spot. The soldiers overseas were amazed to hear this story and want to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.

Denzel Washington has a vision in his life.  He’s NO different than me or you.  Why is he so darn successful in life?  He GIVES.  Guess what, he doesn’t EXPECT anything in return.  Since he gave such a large amount of money to a cause he BELIEVED in, he WILL be taken care of.

No matter what you think, if you practice good will among mankind, you will be successful.  Think, the MORE you give, the MORE successful you will be.

The choice is up to you.   What’s it gonna be?  A mediocre life, or a life  full of GIVING and success?  You decide!

  1. Wow Ryan you really laid it down here buddy. Thanks so much for sharing and I couldn’t agree with you more. I had never heard that story about Denzel but it doesn’t surprise me from what I do know of him.

  2. Theresa Moss says:

    Ryan you are so right. You are such a positive person and a “giver” that I know your blog is going to make a big difference in so many lives. Keep on rockin it!

  3. Great post Ryan! Giving is definitely
    a HUGE part of life. When you are giving
    you are in a ‘good’ feeling place, and the
    universe matches that energy.

    Keep rockin’ buddy!

    Cool Ryan, Jesus always gave and He still is. He didn’t care what race, religion, creed, color, sex anyone was either. Thanks for sharing.

    Ryan,
    Giving without reserve or expectation of return is one of the most gratifying things that you can experience in life. When you do so without anyone else knowing that you have done this service it actually multiplies your feeling of well being and peace. The really great thing about operating from this paradigm is that it can virtually guarantee your success not only in the business world but life in general.

    When you give and do so with a free heart it opens up the windows of abundance that the universe has in store for you. There is truly no greater power than that of giving with a glad heart.

    This post really reminded me of some areas within my own life where I could be more generous and I thank you for bringing it to my attention my friend.

    To Our Massive Success,

    John

    p.s.
    You’re a true Giver Ryan and can expect tremendous things to happen in your life partner!

    Rock n’ Roll man….

  6. Wonderful post. Thank you for sharing!
