Do you like hearing great stories or examples that make your day? I not only like hearing such, but sharing with others, you and my Twitter followers. If you follow me via email, blog or Twitter, then you know that when I find something spectacular or simple, something worth spreading, something that impacts people, book authors, bloggers and info marketers alike, then I can’t help but push the send button. And this post is no different.
While reading the “Giving Back Day 11: Be Happy” post at dragonflyeffect.com, an affirmation struck with me:
“If your friend’s friend becomes happy, that has a bigger impact on your being happy than putting an extra $5,000 in your pocket.”
Just think about it. Money, or financial gains while can make us happy for the moment, what counts the most is our friend relationships. Common advice, right, then why we sometimes (or most of the times) forget about it.
Why do we put money first, before the friendship and trust?
Why do we think on how to sell more books and don’t ask ourselves how to impact more people with our ideas?
Why do we think how to get more blog traffic and don’t ask ourselves how to attract the right audience with our post and make a difference?
Before you start writing your next book, post or info-product, ask yourself — who do I really want to touch and why?
Your ideas (no matter the format) will have a snowball effect. If they’re good (and positive), they’re going to touch more people. If they’re bad (and negative), they’re going to touch even more people.
Your comments about this are welcomed, as always!
P.S. Here’s a little tip for you — 3 ideas to boost your happiness
I don’t care if this post is read today just by YOU. I hope it was helpful and it’ll produce the results you’re aiming for. Selecting the target is just the first step (e.g. having the right information, or “knowing it already”), you also have to push the trigger (take action and implement what you already know) — otherwise your time is useless. Don’t waste it, but take advantage of it! It’s not only in your own benefit, but in those you touch, anybody around you (online, and offline)
