Today's Fast Session
------------------------------
As statistics show, most of what is written in the world's
greatest self-help and how-to books goes unread by the
buyers. And the material that is read is typically not used.
Most people just aren't self-disciplined enough to take a
bit, study it, master it then move on to the next level.
That's why universities are so valuable and so expensive...
they do it right.
They give you a little bit, test you and then give you
some more - building on your knowledge after you've learned
the easier stuff.
That's why these letters always end with some affirmations
so that you can have something to use to program your mind.
That's also why books like 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' have
helped so many millions, because, as I counseled people as
they bought those books from my store, the stories are
meant to be read one per day...
Just enough to be not too fast. Any more than that and
the lesson in the story is missed, being plowed over by the
next one.
These sessions are meant to be read the same way...
...Just one a day.
That is the best way to get the most out of them.
Benjamin Franklin, one of the world's greatest scholars,
politicians and inventors, made a list of 13 virtues that
he valued but did not possess. What Ben did was work on
only one virtue at a time, noting when he messed up, and
when he succeeded in using the virtue. He made turning
himself into a person who possessed that virtue his mission
and did not worry about any of the other 12 until he had
mastered the first one.
Ultimately, he conquered them all.
And he will forever be remembered as one of the greatest
men who ever lived. Man, this is simple! And so sad...
...Because so many people go to their graves never
conquering even one of their major hurdles in life,
settling for mediocrity.
Let me ask you, was Ben Franklin's growth plan so
complicated that you or... well, practically anyone else
couldn't use it?
Couldn't even someone with no common sense or potential
for any more than pushing a broom eight hours a day go
after just one goal at a time with passion?
Success isn't complicated, is it?
The average person wants to believe it is so that their
failures can be explained away, their weaknesses can be
hidden and their poor decisions justified.
As you read through the rest of these sessions, keep in
mind how simple it is to follow them and easy it is to use
them to achieve massive success and peace of mind.
Not one thing you'll be asked to do is beyond your ability
to do it. Practically anything you desire is within your
grasp.
Just look at the individual tasks and go to it, one tiny
step at a time.
