Why Being Useful Ensures You Success
and Happiness

"It all starts with a SMILE"

Two weeks ago I introduced you to my new
Fun Commandment, Be Useful. Today we
explore why Being Useful makes you
successful.

Being useful works for at least three
reasons:

First, it is fun, inspiring, and uplifting
to help people and, thus, vicariously
succeed through them.

Second, you will always receive in
abundance that which you give, so you will
actually wind up benefiting much more than
those whom you’re helping.

And, third, the rule of reciprocity teaches
that you cannot receive life’s gifts until
there is “space” for them in your life –
both literally and figuratively.

In other words, being useful is actually a
supremely energizing method for your
greater participation in life’s abundance.

And you get to help other people too! What
a deal.

But to ensure your efforts have the
greatest effect, you must accept an
oxymoron. (It’s a good thing your humor
nature has taught you to enjoy the gentle
humor in life’s paradoxes because you’re
about to read another of them) For the
greatest positive impact, even though you
know you will be receiving what you’re
giving, tenfold, you must be useful without
expectation for a specific return.

In other words, be useful from the goodness
of your heart. Have no agenda but to help
others succeed. Feel free to focus your
giving on activities from which you’d like
to receive your returns, just don’t expect
specific returns because you run the risk
of tainting your gifts and diminishing your
joy.

When you start being useful, you will have
incorporated at least 1/3 of the equation
used by the truly successful people I
know. Those people, that is, who
experience lasting, sustainable success.

While it’s still up to you to define what
success is, you will be standing on the
shoulders of giants and will find your
achievements and accomplishments begin to
pile up.

I certainly can’t guarantee you $100
million or international fame, but I can
tell you that two of my friends gave away
millions and shared their wisdom with
hundreds during the last year. Maybe
you’ll be in that position too, but until
you are I can guarantee you more fun along
the way.

And, in my book, having fun and being happy
is what everyone is searching for anyway!

Some Humor to Help You Smile

"Mom," the little girl asked, "do all fairy
tales begin with 'Once upon a time'?"
"No, dear," her mother replied. "Sometimes
they begin with 'The couch you ordered has
arrived at our warehouse and should be
delivered within five working days.' "



"Champagne, caviar, pate de foie gras! If
my doctor saw this, she'd be furious."
"Why, does she have you on a diet?"
"No. I owe her a thousand dollars."
