You get in life what you tolerate

When you’re creating an environment to support your goals, remember that you get in life what you tolerate.

This is true in every area of your life—particularly within your relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. What you have decided to tolerate is also reflected in the situations and circumstances of your life right now. Put another way, you will get  in life what you accept and expect you are worthy of. If you tolerate disrespect, you will be disrespected. If you tolerate people being late and making you wait, people will show up late for you. If you tolerate being underpaid and  overworked, that will continue for you. If you tolerate your body being overweight, tired, and perpetually sick, it will be. It’s amazing how life will organize around the standards you set for yourself. Some people think they’re the victims of other people’s behavior, but in actuality, we have control over how  people treat us. Protect your emotional, mental, and physical space so you can live with peace, rather than in the chaos and stress the world will hurl upon you.

Compound Effect..

Compound Effect is based on the principle that decisions shape your destiny. Little, everyday decisions will either take you to the life you desire or to disaster by default. 

“The Compound Effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices.”

“Small, Smart Choices + Consistency + Time = RADICAL DIFFERENCE”

Daren Hardy the author of Compound Effect explains the principle through following ideas

a.  A single penny that doubles every day for 31 days has a larger payoff than taking $3 million in cash today.

b.  Or take three friends who start off in relatively the same place—one makes no changes (good or bad), one adds a weekly beer to his diet and watches TV on his downtime, another makes some small changes like eliminating 200 calories a day and reading 10 pages of a good book daily… Which of these three people do you think end up in a better place two years down the road? 

Choices are at the root of every one of your results. Each choice starts a behavior that over time becomes a habit.

The most challenging aspect of the Compound Effect is that we have to keep working away for a while, consistently and efficiently, before we can begin to see the payoff.
