Have you ever felt you haven't achieved anything significant in your life? You may see some of your friends and family becoming more successful than you.
You are most likely to be smarter than them but they get to achieve things that you wish you had.
I started thinking hard and eventually gave one rule for myself.
This rule was responsible for all more successes that I had over the past few years.
It was so simple, yet it was probably the most effective thing I have ever done in my life.
To really get what you want out of life you need to obey this one rule: The Pareto Principle.
The Pareto Principle is also known as the 80/20 rule.
That is, that approximately 80% of the effects derives from 20% of the causes.
For example, just look at what you are successful at in your life and see that around about 20% of your actions are responsible for about 80% of the effects.
This is pretty easy to implement in your life.
Also, this rule can also apply for the things that you are frustrated about.
For instance, 80% of your problems could be due to 20% of the things you had done to cause it.
To become successful all you need to do is to remove anything that prevents you from succeeding and keep doing things that work.
In summary, cut off the fat and concentrate the things that are working.
Don't get bogged down on the negative and accentuate the positive aspect of your life.
