Often people asked the question, “How can I best help my children, spouse, family member, staff member, friend, etc., improve/change?” In fact, that might be the most frequently asked question received, “How can we help change someone else?”

The answer often comes as a surprise and here it is. The key to helping others is to help yourself first. In other words, the best contribution we can make to someone else is your own personal development. When we become 10 times wiser, 10 times stronger, think of what that will do for your adventure as a father… as a grandfather… as a business colleague.

The best gift we can give , really, is our ongoing personal development. Getting better, getting stronger, becoming wiser.

If you have ever ridden in an airplane, then you might have noticed the oxygen compartment located above every seat. There are explicit instructions that say, “In case of an emergency, first secure your own oxygen mask and then if you have children with you secure their masks.” Take care of yourself first… then assist your children. If we use that same philosophy throughout our whole parental life, it would be so valuable.

When we learn to create happiness for our self, children, spouse, family member, staff member, friend, etc. now have an excellent chance to be happy.

Self-development enables you to serve, to be more valuable to those around you; for your child… your business… your colleague… your community… your church.

When you keep refining all the parts of your character (yourself, your health, etc.) so that you become an attractive person to the marketplace, you’ll attract opportunity. Opportunity will then begin to seek you out. Your reputation will begin to precede you and people will want to do business with you. All of that possibility is created by working on the philosophy that success is something you attract by continually working on your own personal development.
