Improve Yourself by Helping Others

When you help others improve, you improve yourself at the same time.

Want to know the #1 strategy to improving yourself?  Here's a hint: it has nothing to do with placing attention on yourself at all.  The top approach is actually to focus on making others better.  That's correct, focus on helping other people is the key to your own personal success.

As a self-made sage, you know that you have the power to control your actions and positively influence your surroundings.  By turning your focus towards helping others become better, you put yourself in a position to become better yourself as well.  Here are some examples of the results you achieve when you focus on making others better:

Stop all that Dreaming. Start Doing

Are you ready to stop dreaming and start doing?

It’s easy to become a habitual planner.  For years I prided myself on my elite organizational skills, my keen strategic planning, my penchant for detailed to-do lists.  And then one day I realized ten years had gone by and most of my great plans had yet to materialize.  That’s when it hit me…

The sidelines can be a fun place to be.  We get to sit on our ass and watch other people do all the work, mostly for our entertainment; and we don't have to think much, let alone break a sweat at all.

Depending on the skill level of those doing the work, aka the "professionals," we often pay big money to watch them perform.  And, when they're done, we go home with a little less money, a little less time, and nothing in our lives really changed.

Now, if we're talking about a baseball or basketball game entertainment, perhaps those factors aren't such a big deal...  But, what if we're talking about life? What if we're talking about your life?

Time Passing by All the Time

Are your steps leading you in the right direction?

In the immortal words of Pink Floyd, most of us are just "ticking away the moments that make up a dull day... waiting for someone or something to show you the way."   Like the title of the song these lyrics appear in, the subject of time is something that is relevant to every living creature and thus something we must always be conscious of.

Your inner sage is calling out for you to realize that time is a precious gift and true worth is measured in how you utilize that  time.  It is the most valuable resource you have.  And while there are numerous methods...
