MESSAGE #211 - THE GREATEST MYSTERY IN THE WORLD

There are a lot of great mysteries . . .

How did they build the pyramids in Egypt?

Who killed JFK?

Is there life in outer space?

These are great mysteries. But there’s an even greater mystery -- one that concerns each and every one of us.

As a matter of fact, if you can solve this mystery, you’re going to be rich and famous!

Here’s the greatest mystery in the world:

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THINGS THAT DO NOT WORK?

For example, do you want to be healthy? Of course you do. We all do. So why do we do things that we know that are unhealthy?

Do you want to do well in school? Do you want to get all “A’s”? Then why do you cut classes and not keep up with assignments?

Do you want to get in the best shape of your life? Then why don’t you work out more often?

I want to lose weight. I really do! Then why was I eating cheese cake yesterday???

It’s a mystery to me.

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THINGS THAT DON’T WORK?

The mystery is not whether it’s going to work or not. We know what doesn’t work . . . smoking doesn’t work . . . laziness doesn’t work . . . cheese cake doesn’t work.

We know it doesn’t work. We have years of evidence. We’ve done the research. But we keep doing it. We keep going down the wrong path.

WHY DO WE KEEP DOING THINGS THAT DON’T WORK?

It’s the greatest mystery in the world.

How do we get what we really want?

Losers ask, “Why?’

Winners ask, “How?”

We might never figure out WHY we do the things we do, but we can instantly figure out how to do what we do better.

Here’s how to have a more successful day each and every day . . .

#1. Find out what works and do more of it.

#2. Find out what doesn’t work and do LESS of it.

#3. Test out new ideas and strategies and discover if they work or if they don’t work.

It’s as simple as that.

Never ever do what DOESN’T WORK.
