In the pursuit of unlocking our individual purpose and potential to make a meaningful global impact, we must acknowledge the significance of selflessness. A life characterized by profound influence and fulfillment stems from a commitment to selflessness. Embracing this principle of contribution entails dedicating oneself to personal growth in order to impart the virtues attained to others. Selfless individuals are driven by the aspiration to nurture and uplift others, viewing themselves as conduits rather than repositories of resources.
2. PREFACE
John C. Maxwell identified 15 invaluable laws of growth but emphasized on the fact that THE
LAW OF CONTRIBUTION is SELFLESS LAW. This law of contribution lunches one into a place
where you don't see yourself anymore but see how to play useful role in the life of men and
society. Our significance and legacy is determined by the application of this law. This law of
contribution is not a matter to impart or bestow but it a matter of personal growth and
discovering yourself in others so they get discovered as well. Growing yourself only won't
leave you legacy. Grow others and leave one. Whoever applies this law is THE SELFLESS
MAN.
“The greatest gift you can give to someone is your own personal development.
-Jim Rohn
3. “SELFLESSNESS STARTED WITH GOD”
It is proven from the Genesis of life that GOD is the first to demonstrate
SELFLESSNESS. He prepared the earth and all that's within it for us to live a
life of fullness. He created us in His own Image and likeness. He didn’t just leave
our mortal bodies desolate but breath life into us and committed us to have
DOMINION over all that He entrusted us with.
(Scripture Ref. Genesis 1,2 and 3)
4. FEW QUALITIES ABOUT SELFLESS MEN
WE CAN ADOPT

gives them the confidence and credibility to
start developing others. “You cannot give

but the number of people you serve”
-John C. Maxwell
They are selfless to seek for the interest of others. They see
how far their visions, interest, knowledge and virtues can
travel through generations. The selfless man sees the
importance of men therefore they create eternal asset that

6. “Just the very act of letting go of money, or some other treasure, does
something within us. It destroys the demon greed”
