Monuments to what?

I was thinking the other day and God seemed to impress on me why had I spent so many years building mental monuments to my success in business when those monuments had no value to anyone but me? I have read so many books on How to have a sucessful company, How to be a successful CEO, How to make a world class company and I read all those books thinking I would inspire people with what knowledge I had. I am not convinced that people want to be inspired by what you have read and what you can "tell them" about your ability to be a sucessful CEO. People are not inspired by what you know but by what you do and mostly what you do for your fellow man not your self.

I have decided to tear down all those "mental" monuments to myself and make sure that if I inspire it is out of humility and gratitude for my fellow human being. People sometimes pay good money to be inspired and that is fine if they want to. Go to a cancer clinic and you will see inspiration as the nurses attend to those getting treatment. More people are being treated for cancer of some form than you will ever know. It can be overwhelming.

God Bless you all
