How are we to live our lives in a manner that is productive, meaningful, and fulfilling? One way forward is to view ourselves and others as being a contribution. A contribution to our friends, family and neighbors. A contribution to our community. And a contribution in our professional lives, too. 

Being a contribution is one of 12 transforming practices emphasized in the book, The Art of Possibility, by Rosamond Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander, two gifted storytellers with an inspiring enthusiasm for life. According to the authors, playing the "contribution game" has "remarkable powers for transforming conflicts into rewarding experiences".

To play the contribution game effectively, Roz and Ben encourage us to declare ourselves as being a contribution, and to throw ourselves into life as "someone who makes a difference, accepting that we may not understand how or why". 

If the notion of being a contribution in your personal and professional life is a way of being that inspires you, then we would love to hear from you. We're always seeking to grow with people who have the courage to follow their intuition and lead with the heart.
