I hope you are doing well.
This week, we discussed the law that you reap more than you sow. In the book, The Power To Change, Craig Groeschel says, “You don’t just reap what you sow. You reap more than you sow.”
Why do you reap more than you sow?
“If you put a kernel of wheat in the ground, it will produce a stalk with three heads of wheat. A head can contain fifteen to thirty five kernels.”[1]
“Who you are today is because of the cumulative and compound effects.”
-Craig Groeschel
So, what are the cumulative and compound effects?
The Cumulative Effect
“The cumulative effect is the powerful outcome produced by an action that happens, even if it’s small, over and over across a long period of time.”[1]
The Compound Effect
“This is typically called ‘compounding interest,’ used in reference to finances. This is the interest you get on the interest.”[1]
“Decisions shape your destiny. Little everyday decisions will either take you to the life you desire or to disaster by default.”
-Anthony Robbins
How do we apply this to our brain health?
In the past weeks, we have established that our habits positively or negatively impact our brain health. When changing our habits, positive changes can often seem like small things.
The truth is that when it comes to our habits, “there is no such thing as ‘small stuff.’”[1]
“What you do every day is turning you into the person you will become and leading you into the life you will live.”
-Craig Groeschel
Reflection
What about you?
- While you are in training, do you struggle to see the significance of your habits?
- Do you have a group of people who can encourage you in your training?
