Help Another, Help Yourself
Motivating ourselves to achieve our goals is not an easy thing to do. Somehow, as conscious as we think we are of our plans and goals, we continue to lose sight of them as we go about our lives. Sometimes this is the result of not having set solid goals and not having planned for action on them, but sometimes it is just the result of too many other things getting in our way—of life happening.
We need all the tools we can get to help us stay focused and achieve the end we desire . Since we so often are putting ourselves last, one tactic that works (usually without your even realizing it) is to help others.
Intrinsic Assistants
If you think about, most people are intrinsically motivated to help one another. If you need an example of that, think about how quick you are to drop what you are doing, even though it may derail your plans, and help someone else out. Think how eagerly you will share your knowledge with someone who asks for your help, even though it is often a case of “giving away the goods.” As you think about that, think about how painless that feels for you to do.
Your Reward
Now think about how you could apply this same painless concept to creating wealth, or motivating yourself to create wealth. Even though you might find it difficult to attend to the tasks at hand, think about how much easier that might be just by sharing your knowledge, plans, and resources with someone else.
This is a great reason not to keep your plans and efforts at wealth creation to yourself; going public with your goals so that you can share that knowledge with others can have many return benefits. Not only do you get the satisfaction of helping another, but you also get the benefit of living, being what you want to be. Your selflessness becomes your reward, in more ways than you would ever have thought.
