www.newellstrength.com www.unlockingyourinnerstrength.com 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. How to Be the Most Interesting Man in the World
