Point 1
That which you focus on grows. Success attracts more success, and loss often leads to further loss. Your attention acts like a magnet, drawing in more of whatever you concentrate on.
Example
If you continually focus on gratitude and progress, you’ll notice more opportunities and achievements appearing in your life. If you dwell on setbacks, you’ll find yourself encountering more obstacles. This is similar to the compound effect in psychology — small repeated actions build momentum, for better or worse.
Workbook
- Reflection: What area of your life has been compounding positively? Which area may be compounding negatively?
- Action: Choose one positive thought or habit today and commit to reinforcing it consistently.
Point 2
The mind is creative. Your conditions, environment, and experiences are shaped by your most consistent mental attitude.
Example
A person who believes “I’m resilient and resourceful” will find ways to thrive even in tough circumstances. A person who believes “I’m unlucky” will unconsciously filter experiences through that lens. This connects to what psychology calls selective attention — we tend to notice what confirms our beliefs.
Workbook
- Reflection: What mental attitude most often colors your day-to-day experiences?
- Action: Write down one empowering belief to consciously reinforce this week.
Point 3
Your mental attitude depends on what you think. The foundation of all power, achievement, and fulfillment lies in your method of thinking.
Example
Two people face the same challenge: one thinks, “This is impossible,” while the other thinks, “This is a chance to grow.” Their outcomes will be entirely different. This aligns with what psychology calls cognitive reframing — the way you interpret an event shapes your response and results.
Workbook
- Reflection: When faced with obstacles, what is your default thought pattern?
- Action: Take one current challenge and reframe it into an opportunity.
