When you are taking D.A, you are undoubtedly trying to achieve some type of greatness. That
greatness can be a personal quest such as losing significant body fat or it can be a legacy quest such as
leaving your mark on the world.
It doesn’t matter which route you are on because they both have a main theme in common: you must
be obsessed with achieving that greatness. And you can only BE obsessed when the mission speaks to
your soul.
Obsession is not possible with an endeavor that you are not passionate about.
If we are to look at Mind Mapping and brain science, we know that habit formation is simply not
possible around things that require great will power. Will power is based in a different part of the
brain than the center of habit formation (the basal ganglia).
I am sure that at one point or another you have tried something involving extreme will-power such as a
drastic diet or perhaps and exercise program that you have found incredibly mind-numbing. Even if
you have super-man like discipline, you will fail eventually because you are trying to use will power to
create new habits.
I have personally lived this on numerous occasions and I consider my level of will-power to be quite
high (7 bodybuilding shows will prove that to a man).
Getting back to disproportionate action; you can only apply D.A when passion and greatness are in
your heart because will power (used when you are doing shit you don’t want to do*) will burn out long
before you see any results.
Consider Thomas Edison if you will. This great mean failed over 10,000 times before he was able to
make artificial light a reality. It was his life’s dream. He took action when others told him he was crazy.
He embraced failure and set back because he knew that if he kept taking D.A he was going to succeed,
eventually, and that he did.
You will have to take disproportionate action in comparison to the average, energy draining, time
vampires that you are surrounded by.
And you will have to take D.A in comparison to the payoff that are willing to see. Sometimes in life, an
action taken now does not manifest in the physical world. However, that action is working in the
spiritual and non-visible world until the energy accumulates into such a mass that it does materialize in
front of your very own eyes.
I cannot teach someone how to take D.A, I can only model it as best as I can. In fact, I’d say that this is
one of the ‘laws’ that I hope to pass onto Braxton so that he too can create his best possible life.
