TheFoggBlogg: Relax. Keep going. It will come.

Man (woman, child...) I admire this man's stuff. I get value from just about everything he writes and it always seems to come at just the right time. Perhaps I'm attracting (grin) it. Let me know what you think...

Hi

If you read the Attractor Genie newsletter with any regularity one thing should be perfectly clear: There are no quick fixes. There's No Such Thing As An Overnight Success.

Making change in your life takes time.

When you work at something day in and day out, you achieve huge positive change in your life. If you don't stick to it, your results can be disappointing. No amount of "blitzing" a series of workouts, or "Crash Dieting" will get you the results that the Power of Gradual can.

Try this as an experiment.

Make a tap leak ever so slightly— maybe a drop every half minute or so. Put an empty bucket below it. Now, go on with your day. Forget about the tap. Actually, I don't need to tell you to forget the tap. You just will. Sometime later, stroll by the bucket. Holy heck! There's a lot of water in there. It might even be overflowing.

That's the Power of Gradual. It's the effect of a small thing happening over and over again.

The Power of Gradual works because, quite simply, little things add up to a big thing if you have enough little things. Given enough time, the steady drip-drop of water becomes an ocean. Given enough time, small regular deposits become a small fortune. Given enough time, steady work at my awful first drafts yields a passable final draft.

But here's the thing. We tend to be surprised by the Power of Gradual. We're shocked at the amount of water in the bucket, at the size of our bank account, at the beauty of our writing.

That's because we pay a lot of attention to the immediate, the big, the splashy. Examples abound. We notice the person on television who apparently lost thirty pounds in three weeks. We pay less attention to our next-door neighbor. She's been steadily losing 3 pounds per month for the last year and a half (54 pounds!).

We weep at the death of our favorite actor or a recent airplane crash, but we are casually indifferent to the increasingly worrying news about the AIDS pandemic in Africa. We admire a beautiful sentence and forget the hours of slogging it took to get it just-so.

Let us be mindful of this tendency of ours. If we allow ourselves to be distracted by the immediate, big, and splashy, we'll forget about the Power of Gradual. We'll go for a big run every week instead of three or four small runs throughout the week. We'll forget about the effects of eating the same fatty breakfast sandwich every morning...

Remember the Power of Gradual.

Remember it in your dark moments when the weight isn't coming off, when you're poor, or when you can't think of a way to achieve your goals. Relax. Keep going. It will come.

If you know what it takes to find success and you are willing to pay the price in terms of time, effort and energy, then you have a good chance of finding the success you seek.

I'm Here To Help You.

To Your Success,

John Petrov
