19. What Is Easy to Do Is Easy Not to Do  
One of Jim Rohn’s most quoted sayings, “What is easy to do is easy not to do,” has become a foundational pillar in the little-things-matter concept. It has become clear to me that most people know in their gut the simple things they need to do to achieve their personal best; they just don’t do them with consistency.   
We know we should listen without interrupting, but we still find ourselves interrupting. We know we need to finish our projects on time, yet we find ourselves missing deadlines. We know we should remember someone’s name, yet we don’t pay attention when introduced. We know we should answer that email or return that phone call, yet we keep putting it off. LITTLE THINGS do matter.  In the words of legendary basketball coach John Wooden, “Little things make big things happen.” 
Being consistent in doing the LITTLE THINGS you know you should do has many positive benefits beyond the obvious desired outcome of achieving your goals. You become more respected and admired. You develop new friendships and build deeper relationships. You feel better about the person you are becoming.  
So, why don’t we do the LITTLE THINGS that are easy to do? The reason is because they are so-o-o-o easy not to do—to neglect, to procrastinate, to promise ourselves that we will do it tomorrow. 
Another reason was identified by Napoleon Hill years ago: “A big success is made up from a great number of little circumstances each of which may seem so small and insignificant most people pass them by as not being worthy of notice.”  

What’s the reason you aren’t consistent in doing the LITTLE THINGS you know you should do?  Perhaps you have never focused on the importance of LITTLE THINGS. After all, how much of an impact could letting a few days go by before sending a written thank-you note to a prospective employer? In my mind, a lot—your competitor will get the job!  
Or perhaps another inhibiting factor to our productivity comes into play. In a recent interview on a popular blog for aspiring entrepreneurs, I was asked: What was the greatest obstacle you had to overcome in order to achieve your goals? My answer: laziness.  
I certainly know the LITTLE THINGS I need to do (I have been making a list of them for over 25 years) and I understand their importance.  To this day, though, I have to push myself to do the LITTLE THINGS I know I need to do. 
I also want to point out that the habits you exhibit in your professional life are often a reflection of your personal behavior. If your bedroom is a mess, then your car is probably a mess.  If you don’t have the discipline to clean your home and car, you will likely struggle with having the discipline to do the LITTLE THINGS required of you to achieve your professional goals. You can’t be one person at home and a different person at work. You are who you are! 
LTM Challenge 
If you want to achieve more in your life, if you want to grow as a person and achieve your personal best, then you must become a person who does the LITTLE THINGS that are both easy to do and easy not to do. This will likely be one of the greatest challenges you will ever take on, but if you

will make a commitment to use your personal initiative to do the things you know you should do with consistency, your life can be transformed. 
Your greatest successes in life come from your disciplined effort in doing the easy things that are easy not to do.

The day you dare to remain faithful to your assumption, it will begin to externalize itself

Education & Experience Don’t Guarantee Success—Attitude & Habits Do

The 5 difference-makers that fast-track your career

Larry Alton

 

Professional success is a culmination of many factors. Your education matters—maybe not as much as you think, but a degree in your field can really jump-start your progress. Your experience certainly matters, but that can only come to you after years of dedication. Your talent matters, too, but aside from skills (which develop from experience) most of your talent is innate, meaning you have a natural tendency to perform well in certain areas more than others. Your network of contacts matters, but you can’t always control who you interact with. And ultimately, at least some of your career success is going to come down to a factor of luck.
Looking at these things, it seems like there is little you can control. But none of these things will matter if you neglect the most important things you need to create for yourself:

1. A Positive Attitude

The whole “positive attitude” angle might seem like a gimmick—after all, can you think of anybody successful who got to where they are only because they thought positive thoughts? Of course not. But you can trace almost any successful entrepreneur or professional’s journey and find at least one major obstacle that nearly disrupted everything. And in the face of that obstacle, they remained positive, which motivated action rather than submission, and eventually, they rose to the top.
Positive thinking is about more than helping you through the tough times. Research shows that positive self-talk, rather than negative self-talk, can actively reduce your stress levels, giving you greater physical and mental health and a greater capacity to perform to your maximum potential. The best part is that there aren’t any naturally positive or naturally negative people—your thoughts and your self-talk can be controlled with practice, meaning a positive attitude is something you can, and should, create for yourself.

2. Ongoing Habits

Our habits make us who we are. Over time, our repeated actions become automatic, or second nature, and once we’re in that groove it’s nearly impossible to break the chain. With bad habits, like sleeping through your first alarm or working through your breaks, this unbroken chain can come to destroy you. But with positive habits, like regularly reading or fact checking all of your work, this unbroken chain can lead you to success.
Though many habits form unconsciously through our natural actions, it is possible to create ongoing habits for yourself. The key to creating these habits is consistency—if you want to start doing something every day, you must force yourself to start doing it on a daily basis, and don’t allow yourself to slip in the first few weeks. After a few rounds of consistent effort, it will become easier. Breaking bad habits can be tougher, but it’s entirely within your power.

3. Goals

While your specific job may have company goals that dictate your actions, your professional goals are entirely within your control. Create goals that are too lofty and you’ll never be able to make significant progress. Create goals that are too easy, and you’ll never reach your true potential.
The reliable standby for creating good goals is the SMART criteria—an acronym that describes the five key qualities that all goals must have: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-specific. In addition to meeting these criteria, you should create goals on multiple scales. For example, you should have broad, flexible long-term goals detailing your plans for your long-term success, but you should also have smaller, more immediate, actionable goals that can lead you to those broader visions, and medium-sized goals in between the two to act as milestones.

4. Tactical Plans

Goals are good for helping you to hone your desires and set the tone for your career, but without a solid plan of execution, those desires are only pipe dreams. As an extension of your goals, you must learn to create tactical plans that detail how you’re going to achieve those goals. That might include a list of tasks you must accomplish before reaching the goal, a series of strategies you’re going to use while pursuing that goal, or a list of prerequisites you’ll need to have before moving on to the next phase of your plan. If you’re having trouble coming up with an initial plan, you may need to do additional research before moving forward.

5. A Healthy Environment

As humans, we are often products of our environments, and in the professional world, this is no different. If your desk is messy, your mind may be more frantic and cluttered. If you work in a noisy area full of distractions, you’ll never be able to focus. But perhaps more importantly, if you’re surrounded with negative, apathetic or downright lazy people, you’ll never be able to motivate yourself to achieve your goals. If you’re working in a place that doesn’t acknowledge hard work, you’ll never be able to progress.
Create your own environment to maximize your chances for success, whether that means working within the confines of your current organization or moving on to a better opportunity. Surround yourself with the types of people who will lead you to success, and structure your work environment so you can be your most productive.
Once you start creating these things for yourself consistently and with dedication, you will find yourself naturally gravitating toward a path of success. With a strong vision in your mind and the right attitude and environment to carry you through the obstacles that lie ahead, there should be nothing stopping you from achieving your goals.

My every thought is a vibration, drawing to me that which it is implying. This Vital Principle was set up in the beginning. “As a man sows, so shall he reap.” It’s the law of identical harvest, called “seedtime and harvest” There will be no change. You plant apple seed, you will reap apple. Plant orange seeds and it  will grow into an orange tree, Everything flow and is caused by the human imagination.
As you imagine you vibrate and call forth that which you have imagined. Your world is forever bearing witness to what you are imagining. You may not recognize your harvest and deny you have ever had such a horrible thought, but no one did it to or for you, you did it yourself.
Everyone will bear the consequences of their imaginal acts, good, bad or indifferent. And you can try from now until the end of time to change the outside, but only when you change your way of thinking can you change your world.
Give people something on the outside to support them and you have conditioned their world and they will curse you when you stop your support. But show people how to use their imagination to attract what they want and you have given them the gift of life.
Individual man, having been conditioned to believe that God is somewhere in space as someone on the outside, cannot believe that everything he beholds is within him. But it is. Universial wisdom teaches us all that “The Truth is The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Within”.
At the present time three and a half billion of us walk the earth, individualized believing the world is taking place independent of our perception, we do not realize that our dreams are projecting themselves on this screen of space, and that we are in conflict with our dreams.
One day truth will awaken within you and all of your confusion will end. and you will finally realise and know that the confidence you have in yourself is the confidence of God expression. Now I know I must be the change I am searching for in humanity.
Here is an Action Step for you: When you notice your old self-talk, pivot off that and imagine better feeling thoughts. Become a magnet to what you desire and you will start attracting more of what you desire in your experience.
