I wish I had understood earlier in life that I could have gotten so many of the things I wanted had I only stopped trying so hard to get them.
What a weird and counterintuitive truth.
Let’s say you want some motivation.
How do you motivate yourself?
The best way to motivate yourself is to motivate someone else.
The best way to “get money” is to get it for someone else.
The best way to solve your problems is to solve problems for someone else.
See a pattern?
I didn’t for 35 years! To be fair, no one showed up and said it quite this plainly. But still, for a 4.0, straight A student, this lesson took forever to figure out!
You would think you couldn’t give to someone else something you don’t have yourself.
But that seems to be entirely possible. In fact, it seems to be the most direct route to fixing your problem.
