Small Errors Compounded over Time, Destroys your Potential

The compound effect is remarkable and small consistent, well directed efforts over time, add up to remarkable results in our lives and businesses. Unfortunately the compound effect does not only work in a positive direction. Consistent neglect of your health, career, and relationships or around building wealth eventually results in disaster.

Failure is seldom the result of a single cataclysmic event; it is the accumulation over a prolonged period of poor thinking and choices. Failure is nothing more than a few small errors in judgment, repeated day after day, for a prolonged period of time. Have you ever wondered why someone would make errors in judgment or bad choices and just keep repeating these mistakes, again and again for years and years?

The reason is simple; the negative outcomes, as a result of the neglect or bad choices are not immediately visible and so people think that the small compounding errors do not matter. Each little piece of neglect or lack of discipline does not seem to have any effect on their lives at all. We seem to escape unscathed and it appears that we have escaped any immediate consequences.

The Result of Neglect is Slow and Subtle

Our lack of discipline and our total disregard toward our on-going education and growth seems to have no effect on our lives at all. Not reading any books for the past ninety days seems insignificant. We look back over the past ninety days where we have neglected one small, yet very significant discipline, namely daily reading, and nothing drastic has happened so we repeat the error in judgment for the next ninety days.

This is where the true danger to our future success lies. Not only are we not showing any discipline and not reading the all-important books, which are going to help us to grow and constantly develop, but we are oblivious to the fact that it even matters. Sitting every night in front of the television, entertaining ourselves to death brings what feels like instant gratification and helps us in the moment, escape from the stresses of our day.

Repeated Neglect and Bad Choices Spells Disaster

Unfortunately repeating this behaviour only keeps us trapped in the circumstances, which cause us the stress in the first place. We repeat this cycle every day, we go to work at a place that we hate, do a job we cannot stand and which causes us unbelievable stress. Then we arrive home in the evening and collapse in front of the television, so that we can cope with everything that is wrong in our lives. This cycle repeats for years and years and we remain trapped.

The pleasure of the moment, watching television, makes us feel better in the moment, so we neglect to make the changes necessary to break the negative cycle, which is keeping us trapped. The consequences of a future, where we remain stuck in circumstances that are making our lives miserable goes unnoticed.

The consequences of this on-going neglect is seldom, if ever,  instant and the compounding effect of the neglect and poor choices, compounds and accumulates over time. Unless you make a conscious effort to change and you finally choose to begin taking positive daily actions, which will have the opposite effect and will eventually result in success. The on-going neglect in your life will just keep compounding into a wasted life in which you never get to realize your full potential. Failure is subtle and does not shout out immediate warnings about the impending, inevitable disaster, which is looming, due to your on-going errors in judgment. Wrestle back control of your life and begin using the compounding effect in a positive fashion and you can reverse the cycle.

Reverse the Cycle by Making Better Choices

As you make better choices, you will reverse this negative cycle and using the same principles, which have resulted in your living an unfulfilling life, you can create massive success in your life and business. By reversing the formula for failure and applying a few daily disciplines consistently in your life, you can create a formula for success.

The way to achieve this change in your philosophy is to change the way you look at your future. You must make the outcomes you want to see in the future an integral part of your current thinking and philosophy. This means that you must look to your future and create a crystal clear picture of exactly what you want your future to look like. Once you have this vivid picture in your mind you must identify the new habits you must develop to support this vision.

The Future you Get to Live is the Result of Your Actions Today

The success or failures you will see in your future are both future consequences of the actions you take or fail to take today. As long as you stay focused on the instant gratification in the moment and you never look at the potential rewards, which will flow to you in your future, with the application of a few small daily disciplines. You will remain trapped in a life of mediocrity.

To break free from the place you are trapped at the moment, look a little further down the road and visualize the future you desire. Commit to amend the current errors in judgment, which are holding you away from that visualized future. Develop and apply a few new success orientated disciplines, which will move you one small almost insignificant step at a time; closer and closer to the future you desire.

Positive Results will Show-up in a Reasonable Length of Time

The wonder of choosing to apply a few success orientated new disciplines into your life, is that the positive results will be seen within a reasonable length of time. Stay focused on the future outcome you see in your future and stay focused and committed to that outcome. Keep applying yourself to carry out the new daily disciplines and you will begin to feel a new level of satisfaction and vitality. The positive results will begin to show in your life and this will give you a new level of self-confidence.

The real magic of the new disciplines you will introduce into your life, is found in the fact that it will help you to shift your thinking. Once you begin to reap the rewards of a life of substance, you will no longer be content to simply live a life of subsistence. Make this the first day of your new life, try a little harder, and make a conscious effort to change those deadly dream destroying habits, which are keeping you trapped in mediocrity. Commit to apply a few new disciplines in your life every day. The rewards of these few small subtle positive changes will be magical and well worth the effort.

The Time To Act on any Suitable Opportunity Is Now

Learn the art of exploring all opportunities, which may cross your path and build your experience and judgment, so that you can quickly decide if it is worth investing time and energy into exploring any new opportunity. It is always far easier to explore any opportunities and save buckets of your valuable time, if you have a crystal clear picture of exactly what you want to achieve. Using this clear understanding of what you want to achieve in your life or business, will help you to very quickly decide, if any opportunity is worth your time and energy or not.

Act When the Idea is Still Hot

The art of becoming a super achiever is to learn to ignore the good opportunities, so that you have time and energy available, to devote to only the great opportunities, which cross your path. Once you have identified a viable opportunity though, act immediately, when the idea is still hot and the emotion is strong.

If you hesitate too long before you begin to take action on any new opportunity, which is worthy of your time and energy and you don’t act immediately, you will fall prey to the “LAW of DIMINISHING INTENT”. Commit to immediately begin creating a crystal clear picture around the outcome you want to achieve and begin building a plan that will lead you there. Take action to start the process as soon as possible, before the feeling passes and the great idea begins to dim.

Take Action

Great intentions are too often killed through a lack of meaningful action, which is taken while the idea is fresh and the inspiration high. Unless you translate your great intentions into action very soon, the urgency diminishes and your passion dies.

The foundation for you to consistently realize meaningful results in your life is based on you engaging in genuine daily discipline and your commitment to take and keep taking inspired action every day. When you commit to daily discipline, you are able to capture the passion, emotion and wisdom of the moment and translate it into long term sustainable action process and you become unstoppable.

Quickly Establish new Daily Routines

The secret to make this work for you and your business is to very quickly establish the new daily disciplines or routines needed to convert any opportunity into success, as your new success habit set, as soon as possible. When you do this you have begun a whole new life process, which will promote your long term sustainable success. Discipline is the cornerstone of great success and your greatest ally for creating self-esteem and self-worth. Stay focused on the outcome you want to achieve, remain committed to apply the daily discipline necessary, to carry out all the actions, required to turn your plans into reality and you can and will make any dream or business goal real.

Simply commit to offer only your best every day and to continually build your self- respect. As you start with the smallest of daily disciplines, which is aligned with the outcomes you want to achieve and you commit to keep improving your daily discipline over time. You will gradually build an unbreakable foundation for sustainable success. As you continue to build the necessary daily disciplines required to achieve all your personal and business goals in the years to come, you will begin to celebrate remarkable, almost magical and what will feel like effortless successes in your life

Andrew Horton Inspirational Speakers: Overcome your Fear and Invite Success into your Ex...: Are you destroying your ambition for meaningful success, because you are allowing yourself to remain trapped in FEAR? Fear, as you know, ...

Overcome your Fear and Invite Success into your Experience

Are you destroying your ambition for meaningful success, because you are allowing yourself to remain trapped in FEAR? Fear, as you know, is our way of looking at our world and seeing “False Experiences Appearing Real”, instead of exploring our world and seeing opportunity and possibility. How often do you look at a possible situation and fill your head with all sorts of negative self-talk, filling your head with all the possible ways you can fail and only looking at all the ways things can go wrong?

If left unchecked, FEAR destroys our lives, limits our progress, holds us away from our fortunes and even destroys our relationships. Have the courage to confront your unfounded FEARS right now and stop allowing your FEAR to keep you trapped in mediocrity any longer.

Break Free From Indifference

One of the ways we manage our FEAR is through indifference. This is one of the major killers of our potential and is something you must destroy, before it destroys all your dreams. An indifferent attitude of just allowing your life drift along, not carrying out the important tasks necessary to succeed, is a sure fire way to invite disaster into your life. You can only drift in one direction and that is downwards.

When you can break free from the cycle of FEAR and indifference, you will empower yourself to finally begin taking the daily action you need to take to succeed. Stop pretending that you don’t care, because of your irrational FEAR of failing and accept that you are magnificent and can succeed at almost anything, if you just stay focused, keep investing time and energy into your personal development and you take inspired action every day.

Have the Courage to Make a Few Tough Decisions

FEAR also keeps us trapped in indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise and will stop you from ever creating a better future for yourself and your family. Confront your indecision and commit to begin making those really important decisions, which are going to allow you to revolutionize your life and allow you to bring about the transformation and change you desire.

Action Idea: Like anything, as you do something over and over again, it gets easier to do. What at first felt really uncomfortable and took you outside your comfort zone, becomes familiar and easy to do, once you have repeated it a few times. Gradually learn the art of flexing your decision making muscle. Over time start making bigger and more challenging decisions and eventually this will feel like second nature.

Stop Doubting and Start Believing in your Potential

Fear makes us doubt ourselves and we allow our healthy scepticism to turn into debilitating doubt, which keeps us trapped in a state of complete inaction. Overcome your FEAR and doubt and keep growing your belief in yourself and your abilities. Get rid of doubt before it empties your bank account and destroys your passion.

Action Idea: Reward yourself as often as possible for every small success you manage to achieve. This can be as simple as keeping an achievement book, where you keep all your successes listed or a really colourful achievement board, where you keep pictures of every success and achievement. The way to make this work for you is to focus your energy on all the success you have enjoyed and to feel real glow and gratitude for all them. When you regularly reward your successes, you start to see how often you succeed and you will begin to grow your belief in yourself and your abilities.

Take Calculated Risks

FEAR also makes you over cautious. The timid approach to life will stop you from turning opportunity into success. Break free from being over cautious and accept some level of risk. Timid people don’t get promoted, they don’t advance and grow and become a force to be reckoned with in the market place.

Ask a Better Quality of Question

Action Idea: Look at the questions you are asking about any possible opportunity or challenge.

• Are they explorative and looking for ways to succeed? Are you asking questions like, “How can I turn this around and find the opportunity hidden in this challenge”, or “What opportunities or benefit can I get from this”?
• Or are you stifling your progress by asking negative, FEAR promoting questions like “Why do I always fail at everything” or “Why can I never make things work out”

When you learn the art of asking a better quality of question, every time an opportunity or challenge comes your way and you are always looking for ways to get something from every event, which occurs in your life or business, you are setting a very positive tone, which will allow you to identify hidden opportunities and in some cases even turn challenges into opportunities.

Do battle with your FEARS and strive to overcome them. Have the courage to fight the things that are holding you back and limiting your potential. Until you become courageous in your life and you commit to pursue the things you want and you work to become the person you want to become, you will remain trapped in an un-fulfilling life.
