We all want what we want from others, but getting what we want sometimes seems so difficult. Why? Because it's like trying to push a rope. The rope doesn't go anywhere, it constantly veers off course, and ultimately its a mess. You just can't push a rope. Nor will you fare any better trying to push your agenda on other people. 
However, if we take time to ask others about themselves, learn from them their interests, their desires, we can "pull" them from great distances to where you want o be. Just as a pulled rope comes to the source of the pull straight and true so will others come with whom we've taken the time to put their interests ahead of our own. The influence one creates through pulling can be vast, and limitless.
It's all about learning to be more selfless in our dealings with others. Putting them first often results in our own desires being met. Just the opposite of what most people think or do... Food for thought.
