I have been thinking about this recently.
And I thought I can share it with you...
What is your TRUE power?
What is YOUR true power as an individual human being?
Is it money?
Is it connections?
Is it knowledge?
Wisdom?
Intelligence?
All the above are potential energies.
A lot of people have them.
Not everyone has a lot, but everyone has something.
You, with your life experience, will definitely have some money saved up, some knowledge and experience gained through the years and some intelligence.
But what's the most powerful thing of this all?
NONE of the above...
None of these can be of any use if we do not use it.
In my life experience, I have learned a thing or two.
And I learned that, true power is always one thing:
The power of Getting Started.
Initiative.
Starting something is the most powerful thing.
Many people are more skilled than me.
Many people are having more resources than many successful people.
But the one thing that differentiates successful people from the others is that...
Successful people keep starting something new. They go from zero to one.
They don't keep thinking or planning for a long time.
They just start.
The is always a resistance inside us to start something new.
That's the laziness inside us.
We procrastinate things.
We tell a lie to ourselves and don't get started.
Perfect is the enemy of good.
We tell ourselves, if I do it, I will do it perfectly.
And then we never get started.
There is something called the law of diminishing intent.
If you got an idea or an inspiration to start something, your enthusiasm about it will be 10/10 when the idea came to you.
Within a few hours it will become like 9/10.
By the end of the day it will become 8/10.
After one week, your enthusiasm about that idea would be like 2/10.
Then by that time, you would have sold yourself that it is not a great idea after all.
What are you doing?
You are building a graveyard of dead ideas within yourself.
Ideas which could have changed the world, but never saw the light of the day.
Successful people have learned one thing from their life experience.
You got an idea?
Get started with it ASAP.
Successful people defeat a lot of people in their life.
They defeat the nay sayers.
They defeat their competitors.
They defeat evil with good intentions.
But those things are nothing.
Successful people can crush external negativity like bugs under their feet.
Because the biggest monster they fight everyday, is THEMSELVES.
The part of them that prevents them from getting started.
When inspiration for something hits, it is the most effective in the next one hour.
Some projects take longer time, like a business plan and execution is not as simple as this article I am writing.
But getting started with something gives it life. And it takes a life of its own.
You will be powering it with your resources, but it gathers momentum.
How do you apply this in real life?
