The Slight Edge
How the Slight Edge Works
Beach Bum or Millionaire
The same activities that will take us from failure to survival would also take us from survival to success --- if we just keep doing them.
All you have to do to be from Survival to success is to keep on doing the same as you got from failure to survival.
you have a complete control over the direction that the rest of your life takes.
There is a beach bum and a millionaire inside each one of us. What makes the difference in how things turn out? You do.
The First Ingredient
No matter how good the information is, it won't do you any good unless you have the right catalyst that will let you apply it effectively.
Your philosophy creates your attitudes,which creates your actions, which creates your results,which creates your life.
Like this saying:
You can't take an Elevator to success. You need to take the stairs.
Successful people fail their way to the top.
Do the thing,and you shall have the power.
The Slight Edge is the first ingredient, the catalyst you need that makes all the how to's work.
The Choice
Simple daily disciplines --- little productive actions,repeated consistently over time --- add up the difference between failure and success.
The Slight Edge is relentless and cuts both ways:simple daily disciplines or simple errors in judgement,repeated continuously over time,make you or break you.
Without the Slight edge, you can start with a million and lose it all. With the Slight edge,you can start with a penny and accomplish anything you want.
Master the Mundane
Only 5 percent--- 1 in 20 --- achieve the level of success and fulfillment they hope for. The other percent either fail or fall short. The only difference is the slight edge.
The secret to the 5 percent's success is always in mundane, easy things that anyone could do.
People don't consistently do those simple things for three reasons
while they're easy to do they are also easy not to do
you don't see any results at first
they seem insignificant
What you do
today
matters.
What you do
every day
matters.
Slow Down To Go Fast
Time is the force that magnifies those simple daily disciplines into massive success.
No genuine success in life is instant. Life is not a clickable link.
To grasp how the Slight edge work,you have to view your actions through the eyes of time.
Difficult takes a little time,impossible just takes a little longer.
Like this saying:
Serene,I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind,nor tide,nor sea,
I rave 'gainst time or fate,
For lo! my own shall come to me.
---John Burroughs,Waiting
