BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE

I dare ask you this all important question: "WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE?" I mean, THE TABLE OF LIFE!

What do you add to people's lives? What value do you add to your organization? What input do you bring to your friend's lives? WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? Don't be like those who just stay with people to drink and milk them dry. Let it be said that about you: "if not for him, we wouldn't have gained or achieved that feat or being this good..." Always bring something to the table! Refuse to be a parasite!

From my experience in speaking and counseling, I have discovered that one of the most popular reason many business and romantic relationship fail is because one of the partners bring NOTHING to the table. It doesn't take time before one of those involved resent and 'outgrows' the relationship or partnership because he/she is been depleted by it.... It has nothing to do with gender... It equally isn't necessarily about money, VALUE is what matters most!

Ask yourself this question again and again: "What do I add to my friends, organization, relationship and family...?"

What would be missed if I was to relocate or get a transfer tomorrow morning? For individuals in romantic relationships, why can’t your partner ever contemplate break-up? What is that ‘little-something’ you add to his/her life? That ‘little-something’ that makes you unique and unequalled. Do you bring more than a cute face or a great figure? The answer to these questions is important to help you manage and enjoy the future.

However, no matter the CONTENT you think you have, if you keep hanging around people who 'BRING NOTHING TO THE TABLE', you will gradually waste away and end up depleting yourself... There is nothing to joy about that you are the best in your circle of friends. Chances are, they are always eating from you – always making withdrawals but no deposits. Make a conscious step to connect with greater minds and people who are heading the direction you are equally going.

I want to see you at the TOP, that's where you belong!

You must happen!
