Joe Vitale: The Secret Teacher

Of all of the teachers in the hit DVD The Secret, Joe Vitale is one that stands out as one of the most charismatic. Joe, as are most of the others, is very prolific as well. He has what seems to be an endless list of books, CDs, and other programs he has either created or has played some role in bringing to the world.

His most popular book, The Attractor Factor, began as a very personal book he wrote for his sister. She was having some difficulties in her life, and he wrote it to help her, according to his own account. He originally had no intention of publishing it. What a difference it made that he changed his mind. He credits the publishing of that book as having a large part of his being chosen to appear in The Secret.

I mention this to point out what so many don’t ever consider. Many times we hold within ourselves something very valuable, but we never have the opportunity to grow because for whatever reason, we discredit the value it holds.

You have a talent, a skill, some knowledge that could potentially be very valuable to others, if you but decide to share it with others. In general, people do spend time on developing their own talents, skills and knowledge. But this is where they stop. They don’t go further to develop the means of using these things to help others, to market their “product” to the world.

Take some time to think about your own “products.” Do you play an instrument? Do you speak a second language? Do you enjoy shopping? Do you like to take surveys? What “products” do you have?

Write down a list of whatever it is that you can offer to others, to make their lives easier, better, more fulfilling and shift your thoughts to how you can deliver what you have. Think in terms of possibilities.

What you find may not be a million dollar idea, but it may lead to one down the road, if that is what you really want. More likely it will be something that can earn you a little extra spending cash. That’s always nice, and you will receive something more. You will enjoy the pride of knowing that you are providing for others something to improve their own lives in some way.

This just feels good. It feels good because it has everything to do with why we are here. We are here to grow and to help others to do the same. When we consciously become aware of this, our lives completely change.

You may notice that what I am getting at is a total change in mindset; from one of what I can get from the world to what can I give to the world. This is the key to finding opportunities where we only found roadblocks before. This is the way to open doors to greater possibilities than we ever imagined before.

Life is a gift. It was never meant to be a struggle. Look for the way to serve, and you will not have to struggle. You will grow because the more people you help, the more help will be attracted to your own circumstance. Understand this. The help that you attract for your own circumstance does not have to come from the same source you tried to help. In fact, it rarely does.

You may help one person, and at some other time an idea may come to you that will solve a problem for you. You may see no relation between the two incidents, but that doesn’t mean they are not related. It really doesn’t matter either. What matters is that in one way or another, things do work better when we are focused on service to others.
