For the longest time, I thought that the way you see success is to impeccably follow the
principles of Transurfing.
And I haven't studied Transurfing in a few months now, but if I remember correctly, my
interpretation of it at the time was the majority of the progress that you're going to make
towards your goal is all mental.
And yes, there are some truths to that in my opinion, but from my standpoint, where
I'm at right now, not really having achieved much, I really believe that it's the action
that you take in the physical world that is really going to get you towards your goals.
And for the longest time, I would just practice the Transurfing principles impeccably, or at
least that's what I thought at the time.
And maybe in the future, when I read the book again, I realized that I've been wrong this
whole time and that I just completely misinterpreted the book.
But the point is that I got caught into the Transurfing trap.
I thought that all that I had to do was make sure that my mental was perfectly clear.
And in hindsight, maybe that was all I had to do because I realized that if you change
your thoughts, then eventually action will come later, which is what happened.
I spent a long time concentrating on my thoughts and I spent many months really just focusing
on improving my thoughts.
And then eventually I did start taking action.
So maybe that was a required step and maybe I'm getting it wrong this whole time.
But I really think that in order to actually see success, you must take action.
And action will be the main thing that will get you towards your goal.
And the kind of booster to that, the boost, the thing that will help push you along is
the mental thought control.
Because in Napoleon Hill's The Law of Success in 16 Lesson, one of the laws of success was
self-control, which self-control, as Napoleon Hill said, is solely a matter of thought control.
So yes, it is important to control your thoughts, but I really think that you must take persistent
action in order to actually achieve your goals.
Because in that book, The Law of Success in 16 Lessons, he talked about action, like you
must take action a lot.
It was not just about the mental side of things.
There was a lot of action, determination, leadership and initiative.
All of these things, physical action, habit of saving is definitely, I don't know if
it's action or mental, but it's definitely something that you can't just think your
way through.
You can't just think, oh, actually maybe, I don't even know.
But the point is, don't get caught into the trap of thinking that you can just think your
way into to your goal, like I did.
Yeah, there may be a period where you're just focusing on your thoughts, which that may
have been really beneficial for me.
And I believe it was beneficial for me.
And I'm not sure if it would have been better if I took action as well or not.
I don't know.
But just make sure you, once you reach a certain point, make sure you actually take action.
