Generosity Always Wins

0:00Hi, it's Robin Sharma and welcome to Daily Mastery. This is my short form podcast where I'll walk you through the insights, methodologies, and tactics that I've shared with many of the world's most successful people as their mentor, including celebrity billionaires, NBA superstars, world-class artists, and global humanitarians. I hope you find great value in today's episode. Generosity always wins. We live in a world right now where there's so many people they've forgotten the power of generosity. They're sort of stuck in the scarcity mindset. And so they're so afraid of being taken advantage of that they don't give very much of their talent to their organization. They don't give very much of their love to strangers on the industry. They don't give very much of their humanity to their family. It's like because

1:00they're in this fear mindset, well, if I'm really nice, if I'm really giving to my family or my loved one, and if I work really hard my company and bring on my talent to my industry, I'm going to get hurt and I'm going to lose a lot. And I just want to remind you, you know, I've been this at this a long time. Generosity always wins. Don't be taken advantage of. Make sure that you get what you do. But if you get this mindset where it's like, how may I best serve the most people? How may I be ridiculously generous to my customers or my friends or my family? You receive exponential returns on that way of being. So, you know, I was in Phoenix and I had this amazing dinner like the food was just sort of handcrafted and there were a few people around the table. And it was with one of my best new friends on the planet. And last time I was in Phoenix, I really connected to him and he sort of quietly went off, oh, you know, I'm going to just take a

2:03break or and I found any paid for the whole dinner. And so I said, no way am I going to in any way allow him to pay for the dinner this time. So we enjoy this meal and it was a, you know, two or three hours long and we were laughing and talking about philosophy and connecting and I made sure, you know, I went and I quietly paid the bill before he could reach up and pay the bill. Well, you know, when I came back, he went, you just paid for the bill. And he was sort of like, he's so generous that he wanted to pay. But then he said something to me, you know, he said Robin, you know, that was a pretty significant bill because we really ate very, very well and we had some really nice wine. And he said, but you know, that's going to come back to you in multiples. Now, obviously the reason I paid for the dinner was to show appreciation to my friend, to show my, to my love, to show my gratitude for the connection that we're building. But he reminded me of the reality of life, which is if you just come from this place of trust, of giving, of serving, of trying to make other

3:03people happy, amazing things unfold in your life. And that's sort of just one of the truths that leadership and life have been built on. Hey, it's Robin Sharma.
