The Law of Accumulation: How Daily Habits Shape Your Goals

Now, here's the key to the law of accumulation.

This law says that everything counts.

Everything that you do counts.

The biggest mistake that people make is they think that only what they want to count counts.

No. When you read a book, when you listen to an audio program,

when you go to a course, when you go to bed early and get up early and you work,

it all counts, and it's all going on the plus side of your ledger.

But when you watch television, waste time, hang out, fool around, and so on,

all of that counts as well.

And it's going on the negative side of your ledger.

A person who has a great life by the law of accumulation

is a person who's accumulated far more credits, more pluses,

on the credit side than debits on the debit side.

And here's an important point.

If what you are doing is not moving you towards your goals,

then it's probably moving you away from your goals.

Nothing is neutral.
