Significance is not about fame or wealth from "summary" of The Power of Significance by John C. Maxwell
Significance is not about fame or wealth. It's not about having your name in lights or your face on a magazine cover. It's not about the size of your bank account or the number of cars in your garage. Significance is something deeper, something more meaningful. It's about the impact you have on others, the difference you make in the world. When we think of significance, we often think of people who have achieved great things - people like Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, or Mahatma Gandhi. But significance is not reserved for the famous or the powerful. It's not about the scale of your accomplishments, but rather the heart behind them. It's about the way you treat others, the values you uphold, and the legacy you leave behind. In a world that often values success in terms of material wealth and social status, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. We get caught up in the pursuit of fame and fortune, thinking that these things will bring us happiness and fulfillment. But true significance comes from something much deeper. It comes from living a life of purpose, of meaning, of service to others. When we focus on fame and wealth, we are focused on ourselves - on what we can gain, on how we can advance our own interests. But when we focus on significance, we are focused on others - on how we can help, on how we can make a difference in their lives. It's a subtle shift in perspective, but one that can have a profound impact on the way we live and the way we see the world. Significance is not about fame or wealth. It's about something much more valuable - it's about the impact you have on others, the difference you make in the world. It's about living a life of purpose and meaning, of service and sacrifice. It's about leaving a legacy that will endure long after you are gone. So let go of the pursuit of fame and fortune, and embrace the pursuit of significance. It's a journey worth taking, a journey that will lead you to a life of true fulfillment and joy.
