Understand and Fulfill
Needs of Others
The Golden Rule says, "Do unto others as you
would have them do unto you."
To achieve a 360 success in all areas
of
your life and business, you must strive
to create a greater – and unique! – value for people around you. Just
creating some value is not enough. You must
be different
and very special in their lives.
People are
motivated for their reasons,
not yours. Satisfy the deepest needs of people around you. The deepest need
that each person has is for self-esteem, a sense of being important, and
valuable. Everything that you do in your interactions with other people
affects their self-esteem in some way. Continually look for ways to make
people feel more valuable and important.
Listen carefully,
ask questions to show that you
are genuinely interested and you'll be amazed at the spin-offs from
becoming a good question asker and a
good listener. People appreciate,
respect and value others who are great listeners and can
listen to their emotions.
"Whoever renders
service to many puts himself in line for greatness – great wealth, great
return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great
joy."
~
Jim Rohn
Helping Yourself by Helping
Others
One of the golden rules of the therapy
profession is that everyone needs at least one person with whom they can
openly and unashamedly discuss every little detail – happenings, desires,
fears – of their life, whether it is from the past, present, or future.
There are other psychological needs – to be accepted unconditionally,
appreciated, recognized, respected, desired, valued, approved of, or
complimented – that affect the way we communicate with each other.
You grow when you help others. “It is one of
the most beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to
help another without helping himself,” said Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Innovation
Is Love
In order to help others to grow, you need to be
a good example for them. You must
stretch yourself. To teach and
inspire
others, you must learn a lot and be inspired yourself. You must learn how to
motivate yourself and
others.
Get Interested in People
and Show Your Appreciation
"You can make more friends in two months by
becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to
get other people interested in you," advised
Dale Carnegie.
Continually express appreciation. Say “thank
you” on every occasion. A simple way to make another person feel good about
himself or herself is your continuous expressions of appreciation for
everything that person does for you, large or small. "Every day, tell
at least one person something you like, admire, or appreciate about them,"
advises Richard Carlson.
“Thank your spouse for
everything that he or she does for you. Thank your children for their
cooperation and support in everything that they do around the house. Thank
your friends for the smallest of kindnesses. The more you thank other people
for doing things for you, the more things those other people will want to
do,” advises Brian Tracy.
Resolve to focus your energy on helping others
feel valued and appreciated. Show your appreciation with a thank-you, or a
smile. Call up someone you haven't spoken to in a while, just to catch up on
how they are. If you have children, give one child at a time your full
attention for an evening. Write a note of appreciation to someone who is
important to you.
“Think of the way you'd like to be remembered
by those around you, and give of yourself accordingly throughout the year.
Practice a random act of kindness every day. These little moments, over
time, have a huge impact. The added benefit for you is that you'll be in a
more positive frame of mind overall,” advises Pauline Wallin.
