“You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.” –Zig Ziglar

I take this quote to heart and try to implement it in every aspect of my life. I’ve found following this philosophy to be an exceptionally rewarding experience. The universe has a nice way of giving back what you give out. Due to relationships I’ve made helping other people, I’ve had the opportunity to lead a pretty fulfilling life thus far. It isn’t what they teach you in college, but for me it has become a basic building block of all my business strategies.

“Happiness comes from spiritual wealth, not material wealth… Happiness comes from giving, not getting. If we try hard to bring happiness to others, we cannot stop it from coming to us also. To get joy, we must give it, and to keep joy, we must scatter it.” –John Templeton

On the flip side, if I find myself worried about something or not getting what I want, I can track it down to losing sight of this philosophy. The second I take my focus off of helping other people, it seems that life retaliates in kind.

“In about the same degree as you are helpful, you will be happy.”  –Karl Reiland

If you’re unhappy with where you are in your business or life, take a look at your business model. How is it helping other people? What are you doing to help other people find their happiness? The amount of energy you exert making life better for other people will be given back in return. It may not be the way you intended (it often isn’t), but you will reap the rewards in some way or another.

In closing, I leave you with this thought to ponder….

“The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself.” –Ben Franklin

What are you doing to catch your happiness?
