Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:

* That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

* All sorts of things occur to help that would never otherwise have occurred.

* A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way.

Whatever you can do or dream you can do, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Goethe

Anatomist – Physicist – Historian of Science. 

Scientist – Philosopher – Geologist – Botanist

Painter – Novelist – Humanist – Dramatist – Poet

Goethe knew a recorded 50,000 words, twice as many as anyone else.

Each word is a different thought. Imagine the thoughts he could assemble.

Now reread the above!

It helps smooth the way, Grease the wheels, Oil the machinery, etc.

Ok so?

Well, there are many, many other ways to do this.

A smile,

A joke,

A rest break,

A change of subject, etc.

All of these help smooth the way.

If you have trouble getting things done easily

maybe you need to ‘bribe’ those around you…

with a smile, a break, a joke, etc.

Too easy?

Note: Last week in Dalian, China, I put my shoe and my watch on the table while negotiating.

I made my point and reduced the tension at the same time.

True, that takes some practice, but it does show the idea above is valid.

(And inspired this Mental Doodle.)

Others already know your lessons

and are busy learning theirs.

You see theirs as obvious,

but they do not.

Ok, so?

Life is:

* Meaning-less accidents

* To determine if you go to Heaven or Hell (see # 93)

* A series of Purpose-full learning experiences.

Your choice!

Never try.

How to be Perfect:

Succeed the very 1st time.

All these apply to dating, relationships, business, etc.

Which one of the above are you?

Need to change things?

It is not mean, nor does it have anything against you.
The water responds exactly to your actions.
No more, and NO less.

And that’s where you don’t get it.

Start pumping /working and the water starts to rise. Results start to happen.

Keep on working — with no (visible!) results and the water keeps rising.
However the instant you stop pumping, the water starts to recede.
Sick? Tired? Discouraged? Fed Up?
It doesn’t matter, the water recedes.

When you get ‘motivated’ and try again, the work is the same as the first time you pumped the water.
And you say “This is never going to work. Here I am, my sixth time pumping, and still no results.
Nothing is happening.”

So, what do successful people do, that you don’t?
They   don’t   stop   pumping.
No matter the reason.

Remember as many red things as possible. (Just do it!!)

Now close your eyes and recite everything that’s colored … blue.

Now you instantly see blue!

Yet you did not see it when your mind was set on something else.

The same applies when you choose to look for ‘red’ in a room or in a relationship, a career, another person etc.

What we believe to not be there, becomes almost instantly obvious!

(Including knowing things will not change in that situation until you choose to change.)

So the next time things ‘make’ you see RED, just choose to change your focus.

Too simple?

And 80% of your time to learn the last 20%.

An expert = someone who learns the last 20%.

However:

80% of the knowledge /expertise gives you only 20% of the money.

People usually stop there. And call that life.

And somehow think that to earn a lot more, you must do a lot more.

Seems logical.

But it’s not true!

Because almost everyone stops there, society is based on that.

So a little more gives you a lot more. (Tipping Factor)

Become one of the 20% who continue and earn 80% of the money.

20% more ‘calls’ gives you 80% more results.

20% more exercise,

20% less food

20% more sleep

20% … not that much when you think about it.

Same with Family & friends.

Put 20% more into everything you do for 21 days and watch the change in you (and others!)
