It has been almost two years since I listen to Earl Nightingale’s Lead the Field CDs during my commute. These CDs have been helping me in developing better attitudes toward life. Naturally, I was curious about his other inspirational work – the Strangest Secret. Originally Earl wrote this short message for a group of salespeople. But it packs profound life philosophy for everyone.
So, what is the “strangest” secret? It is key to a successful life. The secret is to follow this simple concept: you will become what you think about. It is such a simple thought, but not everyone follows it. That is why it is “strange”.
I have heard many inspirational coaches say the same thing in different ways, but it originates from Earl’s Strange Secret…You become how you project yourself to be. How empowering!
So, as Earl suggests in the book, I decided to try this for 30 days. Since we literally become what we think about us, we must control our thoughts. If we project negative traits and qualities about ourselves, that becomes us! We must choose the right image/thoughts about ourselves for this concept to work. For 30 days, I would like to try this exercise and report the result.
