Beyond the Fifth Degree

1. I came home from work today,  mentally exhausted   .1

I hadn’t slept too well for the last several nights and was troubled by a recent comment to a post I had made a few days ago. 

I laid down for a couple of hours, which I never do, dozing in and out of consciousness.

I must have been dreaming,  because  I awoke with a miriad of ideas clammering in my mind.

I sat up, trying to take everything in. 

Maybe this was the answer I was looking for.

My mind was racing.

The phrase *Beyond the 5′th Degree* flashed to my mind.

What had it meant?

Still somewhat froggy, I started seeing the pieces come together:

1. Indecision
2. Reality
3. Enlightenment
4. Beyond the 5′th Degree

It was a natural progression to the apex of our relationships, our careers, our lives.   The fifth degree being the black-belt, if you will, of the pyramid.

The accomplished, the point of mastery, the fifth degree is a destination, achieved by only the *select.*

Why *the select*?

Because only a select group of  individuals ever reach the pinnacle of their self fulfillment.

INDECISIVE:

You can tell them by:

1. Their lack of ambition
2. Their lack of steadfastness
3. Their focus on the *I want it now*

They are the *white and yellow belts* of society, primarily the youth.

REALISTIC:

You can tell them by:

1. Their focus on committment.
2. Their increase focus on building a future.
3. Their attention to detail.

ENLIGHTENMENT:

You can tell them by:

1. Their confidence in their abilities.
2. Their knowledge of what it takes to succeed.
3. Their focus on what’s really important.

THE 5′th DEGREE:

They have finally made it.

1. They are the leaders of the world.
2. They are sought after for their expertise
3. They are courageous in spite of adversity.

BEYOND THE 5′TH DEGREE:

• “I will no longer be shaken by temporary setbacks.”
• “I will not worry about the future.”
• “I am the future !!!”

I hope this paradigm has brightened your awareness, opened your eyes, and brought you some solace.

Don’r worry,

You are a exactly where you were meant to be, at this time in your life.

• Conquer Indecisiveness,
• Face Reality Head-on,
• Embrace Enlightenment

Create maximum success in your life

Working Hard is not the answer.Did you ever consider:

• 20% of you efforts, brings 80% of your results.
• 20% of your customers, bring 80% of your profits.
• 20% of people, waste 80% of your time.
• 20% of your skillset, brings in 80% of your income.

This 80/20 principle will teach you how to create maximum success in your life.  This 80/20 principle is actually a business success principle. 

What does it mean to think 80/20?

It actually means applying  the Law of Imbalance.

What do I mean?

Consider this:

50% of your efforts, does not give you 50% of your results.  There is an imbalance of how things are achieved.  All of your efforts don’t bring you the same results.   To start thinking 80/20, you have to ask yourself some new questions. 

1. What are my unique abilities?
2. What are my core strengths?
3. Am I spending time in areas of mybusiness that I don’t like or I’m not good at? 
4. Where is the place that I need to spend the most time?
5. Then, figure out where you need to spend less of your time.

That’s what becoming an 80/20 person is!

Remember, all actions are not equal.  What’s the benefit of thinking 80/20?

Less work, more fun, loving what your doing and accomplishing more.

Start creating maximum success in your life.

Start living by the 80/20 Law.
