“Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.” Buddha

 True fulfillment comes not from attaining your own goals.  They are merely the catalyst.  True happiness and fulfillment comes from sharing your knowledge, experience and wisdom with others. Research in Sport Psychology also shows that you perform better when you are able to transcend yourself - when you do something because you get fulfilment from the activity and not from the result.

I really enjoy visiting with my mate Jacques in Cape Town because he seems to be able to transcend in almost everything. Going for a run or a swim is not about the result for him - it's all about the activity itself. It's just brilliant. 

Look beyond yourself in everything you do.  Find opportunities to share what you have with others and I don’t mean material stuff.  There’ll always be someone with less experience than you, someone who’s been on a plateau longer than you, someone who could use advice, a shoulder, encouragement.
