Tweetable Takeaways from this Episode:
All the mistakes stem from a common problem and that's based on a kind of neediness and that can make them flip from one tactic kind of desperately into another not understanding really how that tactic wants to be used.
They've stayed way too long with a tactic that's failed and then when it does fail, they fail to understand the gift of insight that that failure is trying to give them in the first place.
For people who knows something about how they help people, they've got to understand something: You're not going to make some huge change to what you do with your life and your service so instead of trying to twist yourself into something else, into what you think the world wants you to be, all you need to do is ask yourself one question, “What is it that I already do that maybe I even love doing that not a few someones in the world would find incredibly valuable and in fact utterly priceless?”
What is the highest level of good for someone that you can do?
Stay out of neediness. Start sharing. You can't have neediness and sharing in the same space in your brain.
