Silence

Silence is an absence

Silence is profound

Silence is a conversation

Being had without sound

Silence is an expression

One that cannot be heard

Silence cannot be spoken

Although it is a word

Silence is a presence

Of great nothingness

Silence can be something

And yet cease to exist

Silence can fill a room

And have no mass at all

Silence cannot be dropped, yet it can fall

Silence is a mystery

That will forever go unsolved

Silence is how every sound can swiftly be dissolved

Silence is the sound of rest

The only sound that can sound best

While other sounds can cause great pain

Silence is not the sound to blame

For Silence is what silence is

Something that is nothing

Nothing that exists

“It’s cool to be a tortoise!”

That is what my friend’s son said when asked by his father what he learned by reading The Compound Effect.

“That’s neat,” I replied. My friend quickly corrected me, “No, it goes beyond neat. Let me explain. Dillan is constantly seeking shortcuts. If he doesn’t see results almost immediately, he gets frustrated, bored and usually gives up. I believe The Compound Effect changed a critical and fundamental philosophy that will alter his future, in my opinion.”

I admitted, “You are right, that’s way more than ‘neat’!”

How many times have you been like Dillan… or the hare?

How many diet books, programs, creams, or pills have you bought that promised overnight results with little effort?

How many Internet riches, day-trading, get rich quick books have you bought?

Do you leap to a fast start but quickly get distracted and off track, if not even drop out of the race entirely?

The tortoise always wins. Why? Because he or she is relentlessly consistent. It’s not how fast you start; it’s how long you endure. Consistency is one of the core fundamentals of success.

So then, how do you keep yourself constantly motivated and steadfastly consistent?

That is just one of the important success strategies I will teach you inside The Compound Effect.

Here are just a few of the other “cool things” (as Dillan would call them) you will learn inside:

• Identifying and eliminating the bad habits that derail progress or cause failure… some you might be completely unaware of.
• Painless and foolproof ways of installing new success disciplines needed to excel in building your business or any area of life.
• Developing success behaviors into daily routines so they are concrete
• How to develop a productivity rhythm that leads to catching momentum in the building of your business as well as every other aspect of life
• Acceleration secrets of superachievers; how they get an unfair advantage… and how you can too!

Close your eyes. You are at the starting line; the gun is about to sound. Decide now: tortoise or hare?

Attitude

James Van Praagh (Photo credit: ALA - The American Library Association)

Attitude is vastly important because it presents your image to the world and is the driving force behind behaviour  Your attitude influences your world and everything you do in it. It defines the energy you send out and, in turn, takes shape and colour in your circumstances. If you have a positive attitude, you are more welcoming and people are drawn to you.

A positive attitude opens you to the flow of life. If you are depressed, angry, and unhappy, no one wants to be around you. You literally push people and opportunities away.

To attract positive, joyful, and prosperous situations to you, you must be that way yourself. If you have an open, loving, positive attitude, anything burdensome in life can be lightened. Therefore, it is important to be aware of your mood. It is created by your thoughts. Every day you have a choice of how you will behave, the mood you will give out to the world, and how you want people to know you.

So if you want something in your life, first you must think of it, put your intention behind it, and keep your focus on it. It is almost like baking a cake. The thought is in the oven and you have to keep it baking with belief. You have to see your thought manifesting and becoming real.

Follow your heart and be true to yourself. Never live the life of another. You have to create your own road. You have a responsibility to be the best you can possibly be, so keep your mind and heart open to the higher aspects of your being. And you will harness the power to have a loving and fulfilling life with attitude!

Deepest Fear

A Return to Love (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." 

~ Marianne Williamson, from Return to Love
