Sharing

"Our best thoughts come from others." – Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Shared joy is a double joy; Shared sorrow is half a sorrow." – Swedish proverb

Sharing truly does make the world go ’round. The relationships we build on a daily basis with people, places and things create a need for us to socialise and to converse with others, and discuss what has happened to us.

This is true of all aspects of life, whether the sharing comes in the form of advice given as a response to personal experience, or whether the sharing comes as a recommendation as the most basic form of marketing.

What is key, however, is not that you use the concept of sharing as a way to gain information, money, or experience, but as a way of giving information, money, or experience.

You can approach sharing from both a physical and a spiritual perspective. When somebody offers me advice and they genuinely believe that the advice will benefit me, I am most grateful and will thank the person. Many people don’t like to be given advice, or to be given information that they feel they should know already. However, from a spiritual perspective everything you are given should be given to others so that you can keep the information moving in the Universe. 

For example, I had dedicated myself to a strenuous and eventually addictive and boring task of learning new things, and recently I gave this practice up for a whole month. Now, learning new things is good and learning is an important principle in success, however I forgot to learn, and then to share!

The information that I have was becoming stagnant, I was being overloaded by information that I didn’t particularly want to know, but thought that I should know it just for the sake of it!

So now, I have dedicated myself to something new, and it is called "Sharing". It’s fairly simple really, and there is one rule that you must follow: Talk to people.

I know that this seems alien being 2009 an’ all and most of us spend more time in front of the computer than we do with people face-to-face, but try to get out in the world, begin conversations, and if the right time arises for you to share your knowledge with someone then don’t hold back, and believe that the information will help someone.

I am sure that in your field of expertise you know more than 99.9% of people out there. I know absolutely nothing about car engines or DIY, so if someone gets chatting to me and has any knowledge on this subject then they’ve got me beat! But equally, I specialise in developing systems to improve a person’s lifestyle through managing their wealth and their health, so I know more than most on this.

Why am I telling you this today? Because it’s important to keep information moving. And when you give more information away, then you not only create relationships, but you help others, and in turn help yourself too by giving a good service to another person.

This is why on all of my websites you’ll find these Te!!-A-Friend Buttons that you can use to send my posts on to other people through your various social networks. Try them out and if  you find the information on this page helpful then click, and help another out!

So, what have I been doing lately and I want to share? Since cutting down on the information that I take in, and sharing it out my productivity has gone through the roof and I feel healthier for it too! I don’t feel constantly stressed that my To Do List is piling up and I am working smarter and not necessarily harder. My latest venture has a simple, new information site that might intrigue you. Check it out here.

Let me know what you think, and remember to keep sharing!
