Helping others helps you?

Ive heard this many times over in many different forms but for some reason it sunk in tonight. I was listening to a Deepak Chopra interview (HotType - check YouTube) and he said something along the lines of help others get what they want and you will get what it is that you want.

Now can this be applied to every person I meet and come into contact with. So the question I have now is how do you determine what it is that other people want?? How does one genuinely find out so that you can genuinely and humbly assist that person in getting it?

This is a concept I have literally heard a hundred times, but I never really understood. I guess I still I dont understand it. I'll have to experience it to understand it I guess. Im going to have to read up more on Deepak Chopra's teachings. His stuff certainly sounds much like what I read on www.stevepavlina.com. Perhaps I may find material that goes more in-depth than Steve.

Hmm something to think about and do.

Acting Like Godot

A simple personal blog, but I really love some of the things he writes about, especially his experience with life, intention manifestation and law of attraction.

Found these two links for Scott Adams (Creator of Dilbert) discussing his succeesses and his use of affirmations.

Something different in getting organised.

Im in a good positive mood, and I've narrowed down 6 major streams that I will be focussing on this year in 2007.

They are;

1. Starting a new business. Succeeding and growing the business.
2. Investing. Learning, practicing, mastering and succeeding in stock and property investment
3. Networking. Learning, memorising, practicising key fundamental networking protocols such as SDH, ATM, IP, TCP, ICMP, SNMP, MPLS, Frame Relay, BGP and OSPF. Like I mentioned in my CCNP blog, once I know the fundamental basics of protocols and the services they provide I'll master all there is to know about networking.
4. Blogging. Regularly writing, updating, and actively participating in the blog community.
5. Exercise. I will get fit through regular cardio exercises such as skipping rope.
6. Toastmasters. Actively participating in not just giving speeches, but also in club administration duties.

Anyways, to keep a track of how well Im taking part in all of the above activities on a daily basis, Ive come up a with grid that I can tick every day for the above mentioned streams.

Below is a photo to give you an idea.




As you can see above on the left hand side Ive marked dates, above, where it says FMAM, that stands for Feb, March, April, May. Above this is where Ive indicated my six streams.

I'll update this chart/grid on a regular basis. This will provide me with feedback, affirmation and general progress as to my participation in the six streams.
