Redefining Success: Jason Jolliffe on Contribution and Legacy
When I talk about what is contribution, and what I mean by that is, I should not be measuring or keeping a tally or a score when it comes to contribution, because the act of contribution is to be selfless.
What does it mean to be successful? Is it about feeling significant, or is there more to it? In this thought-provoking episode of the OutstandingLife podcast, host Jason Jolliffe dives deep into the differences between success and contribution. He questions whether certainty and significance are essential for one to feel successful or to contribute meaningfully to others. Jason argues that true contribution is a selfless act, not something that should be measured or used for self-serving purposes.
He shares how his own journey through addiction and mental health challenges led him to understand that material success isn't the key to fulfillment. Instead, he found joy and a solid foundation in giving back and contributing to others. Using examples from influential figures like Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra, Jason illustrates how impactful contributions can be, even from afar. He also discusses the idea of leaving a legacy through positive contributions and creating a supportive environment.
One touching story he shares involves attending a meeting where someone was celebrated, highlighting the genuine care and support people can offer each other. Jason encourages listeners to focus on making a positive impact daily, even in small ways. This episode is packed with insights and personal anecdotes that make it both inspiring and relatable.
