Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value.

Those are the words of Albert Einstein.

And I'm going to talk today about the importance of being a man of value, of cultivating

your value as a man of value of cultivating your

value as a man because it isn't inherent. It's not given. It's something that you have to

curate and develop and bring out into the world. And your value is incredibly important.

Your value and the value that you generate, the value that you bring into a relationship,

into your family, into a work environment, that value is going

to contribute to your sense of meaning, to your sense of meaningfulness, to your sense of belonging

within a certain environment or situation or workplace or relationship. And I think one of the

interesting things that Einstein is pointing to in this idea that try not to be a

man of success, but rather a man of value, is tied into what Tony Robbins has been saying for years,

which is that success without fulfillment is ultimately meaningless. And that is the endeavor that

many men find themselves on, is that they are pursuing this sort of

hollowed out form of success that that we have pedestaled this idea in Western culture that

if you are somehow successful that if you just make enough money or you've developed a business and, you know, sort of like hit it big,

or, you know, you've become successful in your career, that somehow meaning and value will come

along with that.

But that's not true.

Success and value are not inextricably linked.

You might be someone who's successful and fundamentally dislike what you're doing,

fundamentally dislike and harbor resentment towards the people that you are doing it with.
