Dixie Gillaspie in her Pure Synchrony blog post Believing in Greatness shares a delightful story and wonderful insights about the power of believing in yourself and in other people and how to make others greater every day.
Today a Facebook post from a friend I share with Gill Wagner and Bob Burg and whom the rest of you really ought to have the pleasure of getting to know – horticulturist, musician, foot-massager and humor-lover, Heather Williamson, really brought the lesson home.
Her Facebook status today said “What if you made others greater, every day?”
She does, I’ve seen her do it. And Gill Wagner does, and Bob Burg does, and Scott Ginsberg does and all those other supporters who told me in so many ways “I believe in you” do. It’s what they all have in common – they make others greater because they believe in the greatness of others.
They embody The Go-Giver Law #4 – the law of authenticity. They really believe and they share that belief so sincerely and so freely that the people around them can’t help but be greater. What I had to learn was Law #5 – the law of receptivity. I had to learn to breathe in the gift they offered and LET it make me great.
What does this mean to you? It means you CAN make others greater, every day. You have that power. And it means you can BE greater by accepting the gift of other’s belief in you. You have that power too.
I think we can be a mirror to help others see their greatness and the gifts they have to share.
Great job on the blog Kathy. I love the nice and clean look of it. I have a lot to learn from you.
