Have you realized an unusual trend that has been spreading across America lately? I am certain those you in other countries may have seen it as well. The trend I am mentioning is embarrassment, or lack of gratitude, for self about what one does for a living. It appears there is a diseased point of view that what one does is not a honorable position. Have you noticed how many negate what they do as being a service to the world.
When I talk with my clients (those who desire wealth in the financial form) some of my clients have the perception they want to make a lot of money and then be able to give it away to a "noble cause." That is a grand idea, though it doesn't really seem like much fun to suffer to make wealth doing something of no value to some how obtain wealth to then just give it away.
I have been reading a fun book called .where in the first chapter he talks about this myth of society. Rabbi Lapin talks specifically about Bill Gates and how many squabble about the amount of money he gives to charity. In the United States it seems that many are promoting the need to be charitable and that profitability is considered evil and bad. Rabbi Lapin points out the destruction or lack of acknowledgment for the tremendous service to humanity Bill Gates has done with his products and services. Thanks to Bill Gates we have a common computer language today that allows us to communicate around the world and share information. This destruction of giving credit to Bill Gates for his amazing service in business is showing up in each of our lives.
True wealth in our lives is accomplished by the amount of service it brings and the number of people it serves. If we do not value and honor what we do for a living, others will not value or honor us thus decreasing our personal wealth. By not honoring and valuing ourselves we will limit the amount of income we have available to share with others. If we ignore how others services are a blessing to us and others we are negating them, as well as ourselves. Every-time we negate someone else for their service to the world it is a reflection of ourselves diminishing our self-worth to the world. The more we diminish our self-worth magnet, the more difficult it is for us to be a magent in our lives whether it is for relationships, career, finances or family.
Think about how simplistic our lives are today comparred to a few hundred years ago. We owe this fact to each and every one of us and the service we provide everyday that plays a small part in this effect. 99% of us eat food that has partially been prepared by others. I personally do not know anyone that mills their own flour and must because they are unable to eat otherwise. Think of cell phones and the services provided by them that allows us to stay connected with each other. The Verizon commercial is a prime example of how many people it takes to make it so one person can have excellent service even if it is the mere use of the product. Think about the amazing internet and all or the parts and pieces that have to happen together to make it happen. Think about all of the support people in the process of all of these these from distributors, store owners, manufacturers, farmers, fishermen etc.
Remember, God/Universe's greatest gift to us when we are born are our unique talents. We have been encouraged to move forward in life and be fruitful and multiple. This idea is not just about bearing children only, it is about bearing our unique talents to the world.What is it you do that is your service? How does what you do effect hundreds of individuals in the form of how you currently create financial income? What is amazing about the service you provide?
If no one on the planet did what you do, how would the world survive without that service of no one providing it at all? How would the world we know today be different without that service? Do you love what you do? Can you see how what you do and the way you do it is unique for you and your uniqueness is a product that you sell to your employer, your clients, your family and yes, even your friends.
There is no one else exactly like you. Honor who you are and own your magnificence of who you are and the unique service you share with the World. The more you do, the more you will increase your personal worth and increase your personal magnetism.The more we are grateful for the more we get to be grateful about.

Thank you, Janis. This is an excellent piece--so true. Everybody--every civil servant, every waitress, every homeless person, every pimp and every pusher--contributes to the world in their own unique way. We tend to judge, which has its value too; but the truth is that we all owe our existence to the interactions and interdependence with all others on this planet. Thank you for the reminder.
