Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business
-
and life you love, and this is Q&A Tuesday, and today's question comes from a lovely lady
-
named Tammy and she writes:
-
"Hey, Marie, thank you for doing what you do. I am grateful for your Q&A Tuesdays. Here
-
is my Q. I find myself growing by leaps and bounds but it seems that I have the urge to
-
share it with everyone around me. I seem to feel as if everyone should listen to me and
-
learn with me. This is not always appreciated and it seems to be alienating some people,
-
so my question is 'how do I resist the urge to make everyone around me see the light?'"
-
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on Tammy. You want to help everybody seem the light?
-
Have you never seen "Poltergeist," girl? The light is bad.
-
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy, this is an awesome question. I've certainly experienced this first hand.
-
When you first start learning about personal development and all these cool philosophies,
-
of course you want to share it with everybody you know.
-
Hey Papa Smurf, did you know that if you were more in the moment, your whole life would
-
transform?
-
Grouchy, you're using your grouchiness to hide your brilliance. I really think you're
-
dialing an upset.
-
Smurfette, you really need to claim your feminine power and really own your divine goddessness.
-
But as you're seeing this approach doesn't always go over so well. I mean think about
-
it. You're trying to push self help on people and it may actually tick them off because
-
essentially what you're saying is they don't know how to do their life, they're pretty
-
screwed up and they need you to come help them out. Essentially, they're going to say
-
to themselves "who asked you?"
-
Here's what you need to do: don't talk about it, be about it. As the saying goes, and this
-
is a pretty good tweetable:
-
"Others will follow your footsteps easier than they will your advice."
-
What that means is to be an example of what you're learning. Really embody the ideas and
-
the principles. You want to be a living demonstration of all the good stuff. You want to be a role
-
model; you don't want to preach. What you'll find is that people in your life are really
-
going to take notice and they're going to ask you "what's your secret" or if they're
-
really into it they'll say "yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," and that becomes the perfect opportunity
-
to share and see if they want to learn more.
-
Next you got to find your PDP, or your personal development posse. Tammy, you really need
-
to hang out with some like minded people who love talking about this stuff just as much
-
as you do because here's the thing: people who like personal development tend to be really
-
into it. We're like personal development zombies; we're insatiable and we gobble up books and
-
audios and programs kinda like zombies gobble up brains. Here's the best part: there are
-
tons of us around. We hang out on blogs like this and book clubs and seminars and we're
-
always signing up for another program. We may be an odd bunch but we're out there and
-
our numbers are growing every day, just like zombies. Once you find people who actually
-
want to talk about this stuff, you'll feel less compelled to force it on people who don't.
-
Tammy, that is my A to your Q. thank you so much for asking and of course let us know
-
how it goes. Now I would love to hear from you. Have you ever tried to show people the
-
light? How did it go? Did they resist you or did you need to change your approach and
-
try something different? As always, the best stuff happens after the episode in the comments
-
