It is all a compound effect of bad decisions taken almost everyday over a considerable period of time. Every decision, no matter how slight, alters the trajectory of your life - whether or not to go to college, whom to marry, to have that last drink before you drive, to indulge in gossip or stay silent, to make one more prospecting call or call it a day, to say I love you or not. More than anything, The Compound Effect left me utterly sad to believe that so many would place personal gain over being kind and loving. Money won't cry at your funeral. Clients won't visit you in the hospital. Tombstones aren't marked with your social media ranking.

Studying a topic means you are invested in it and try it out. The world already has tons of knowledge. You don’t need to learn more. What you need is to study, to practice, and to take action on the knowledge you have. With momentum, you can continue succeeding with less work. It’s easy to keep things running once you have momentum. You need a deep why for doing stuff. With a why that is meaningful enough, you will do almost anything. (Think of Kristy exercising for the wedding.) Eventually, we start to eat what they eat, talk like they talk, read what they read, think like they think, watch what they watch, treat people how they treat them, even dress like they dress. When people get started in a new behavior, they almost always overdo it. Of course, I want you to feel excited about setting up a rhythm for success, but you need to find a program that you can absolutely, positively do in the long term without renegotiation.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge.” - Dr Martin Luther King Jr. I looked for the things my wife was doing that touched me, or revealed attributes, characteristics, or qualities I appreciated. I wrote them all down secretly for the entire year. By the end of the year, I’d filled an entire journal. The funny thing was that the person most affected by this gift was me. All that journaling forced me to focus on my wife’s positive aspects. I was consciously looking for all the things she was doing “right.” That heartfelt focus overwhelmed anything I might have otherwise complained about. I fell deeply in love with her all over again (maybe even more than ever, as I was seeing subtleties in her nature and behavior instead of her more obvious qualities). My appreciation, gratitude, and intention to find the best in her was something I held in my heart and eyes each day. It’s one of the biggest pitfalls for people struggling to achieve. Most people don’t know how to sustain it.Step by step, day by day, your choices will shape your actions until they become habits, where practice makes them permanent. Losing is a habit.

I’m a connoisseur of nice things. But material stuff can’t really recruit your heart, soul, and guts into the fi ght. That passion has to come from a deeper place. And, even if you acquire the shiny object(s), you won’t capture the real prize—happiness and fulfi llment. In my interview with peak- performance expert Anthony Robbins (SUCCESS, January 2009), he said: “I have seen business moguls achieve their ultimate goals, but still live in frustration, worry, and fear. What’s preventing these successful people from being happy? The answer is they have focused only on achievement and not fulfi llment. Extraordinary accomplishment does not guarantee extraordinary joy, happiness, love, and a sense of meaning. These two skill sets feed off each other, and makes me believe that success without fulfi llment is failure.” Well said. That’s why it’s not enough to choose to be successful. You have to dig deeper than that to fi nd your core motivation, to activate your superpower. Your why-power. Core Motivation The access point to your why-power is through your core values, which defi ne both who you are and what you stand for. Your core values are your internal compass, your guiding beacon, your personal GPS. They act as the fi lter through which you run all of life’s demands, requests, and temptations, making sure they’re leading you toward your intended destination. Getting your core values defi ned and properly calibrated is one of the most important steps in redirecting your life toward your grandest vision. 4/21/10 1:00:41 PM Chapter_3.indd 65 4/21/10 1:00:41 PM Chapter_3.indd 65 Im not mostly intrested of these types of books but this one is a MUST, thanks to my friend that push me to read this.
