How many people have you helped recently?
At Wizardz of wealth, we are always fascinated by the many paradoxes we encounter as we stumble through life. If you have followed us for awhile, you will remember that embracing “paradox” is one of the major themes discussed by Michael Gelb in his classic work on da Vinci.
Let me ask you a question:
What’s more important, helping your self or helping someone else?
It seems to me that many wealthy people have discovered how to resolve this conundrum. The rest of us still get in our own way.
The other evening I watched a TV show that was star-studded and loaded with winners. Collaboratively, they were all helping thousands of others. Bud Selig was speechless, and Steven Kimmel was not.
Again I ask the question, what comes first, the chicken or the egg?
The theme of “When we help someone else, we are helping ourselves” makes perfect sense, and is preached by many.
Staying in the game long enough is the key, and Robert Shemin talks about the need to help ourselves FIRST. The paradox of course, is that we are all taught that it is selfish to think of ourselves first.
We have tried to illustrate this concept simply through our principle, the flat tire syndrome. The more we become, the more we have, and the better able we are to help others.
Making that choice is up to us.
Here are a few bright men who have figured out a whole lot of people, and they are extremely wealthy.
I got a new computer the other day, and a few parts were in disarray. I used their invention to resolve my issues within minutes. I bet they have helped you in some way also recently.
How many people are you intending to help?
For those of you who love real estate let me give you a hint.
There are a lot of people hurting right now.
The next crop of millionaires are being grown, and they are figuring out how to help a lot of people like this.
Will you be one of them?
