Now that we’ve discussed the importance of Disciplined People, Disciplined Thought and Disciplined Action - let’s discuss how we have to fanatically follow those guidelines day after day in order to create massive momentum and create unimaginable success.
The momentum we build every day can be compared to a flywheel.
Building something great is akin to pushing a large, heavy flywheel.
Imagine that your task is to get the flywheel rotating on the axle as fast and long as possible.
Pushing with great effort, you get the flywheel to inch forward, moving almost imperceptibly at first.
You keep pushing and, after two or three hours of persistent effort, you get the flywheel to complete one entire turn.
You keep pushing, and the flywheel begins to move a bit faster, and with continued great effort, you move it around a second rotation. You keep pushing in a consistent direction.
Three turns … four … five … six … the flywheel builds up speed … seven … eight … you keep pushing … nine … ten … it builds momentum … eleven … twelve … moving faster with each turn … twenty … thirty … fifty … a hundred.
Then breakthrough!
Then, at some point—breakthrough!
The momentum of the thing kicks in your favour, hurling the flywheel forward, turn after turn … whoosh! … its own heavy weight working for you.
You’re pushing no harder than during the first rotation, but the flywheel goes faster and faster.
When we are working on something new, we understand that it takes time and patience is required.
Whatever we do it is always hard at the beginning then it gets easier.
We have patience and keep pushing that flywheel, then one day we will find it is moving by itself with very little effort from us.
