Dr. Maxwell Maltz wasn’t the only self-development pioneer who understood the importance of daily goals and a small-steps approach to success.
Turns out Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, had a similar method.
Here’s what Dyer wrote in is book, I Can See Clearly Now:
“In the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu speaks about the importance of thinking small, not big. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Had I been thinking big back then, I would have passed over that tiny little WRAB radio station two blocks from my home. Yet a simple knock on the door of a station with maybe ten watts of broadcasting power led to so much more. What I see clearly is that a baby step leads to the second step. I was being urged to take little steps by a force in the universe that directs everything and everyone. Great things began with a single step.”
Dr. Maltz’ book, Psycho-Cybernetics, has sold over 35-million copies worldwide.
Dyer’s book, Your Erroneous Zones, has sold an estimated 100-million copies worldwide.
Perhaps these two authors knew something simple, yet profound.
As I’ve written many times:
When you think big,
you stumble on every twig.
When you think small,
you realize you can have it all.
On a daily basis we are assaulted with the think big mentality.
That’s why we need daily reminders to focus on what is getting accomplished today.
Reminders that come in the form of short quotes or powerful thought-provoking poems, that cause the information to stick to your mind as though glued to your brain.
One Breath at a Time accomplishes this objective.
Each day, read a passage or two. Then put the book down and picture what I’m writing about.
Then go through your day with this pivotal message playing in your mind.
After 30 days of doing this, look at your results and be amazed.
Then keep doing this same thing, focusing on daily goals, one breath at a time, and you’ll be creating the life you’ve always wanted to live.
See it. Feel it. Be It.
