This is the Edmmerwood Show.
Welcome back to Max Out, everybody.
I'm Ed Mylett.
Today, we're going to talk about the echo of life, or the echoes in life.
What I mean by that is, you know that when you hear an echo, you've said something, but
there's a delayed response until you hear it coming back at you and then you experience the result and that's how life works
See today one of the reasons so many people are confused about their lack of success
It's because we live in a very immediate gratification type society
Meaning people expect results to happen
Instantaneously because we can get access to information instantaneously we can get on on social media, we can get music, we can get a movie, we can
get a Google search, we can get a book, we can get anything we want instantaneously.
But what you can't get instantaneously is success in life. And we've been raising a
generation now, many of us, even older guys like me, we're programmed to get things right
now. And this hurts us in life because we don't realize the echoes of life.
See for me, for example, when I'm having a difficult time in my life in one area and other,
all I have to really do is look back 60 to 90 days and it's the behaviors I had 60 to 90 days ago
that are causing the results I get negatively right now. And so, for example, when I'm not really,
you know, progressing in my career or in my financial situation, if I look back 60 to 90 days prior, I stopped reading the books,
listening to the audios, doing the things that grow my identity, and I pay the price
60 to 90 days later.
In my body, my body isn't looking like I want it to.
If I look back 60 to 90, 120 days, that's when my diet got weaker.
That's when my workouts weren't quite as intense
as they were previously. And I pay the price three to four months later. This is true in every
area of our life. Our lives are almost like reading a newspaper today, but we're reading
the headlines from 90 days ago. And so that's what confuses people. They see the external
results of their life, but what you did, if you read the newspaper from 90 to 120 days
ago, that's where the news was made, not today. And so in every
area of your life, you got to go in right now, you got to fuel the fire. If you've
got your business going, your finance is going, your relationship going, your
faith going where you want it to. You have to continue to do the activities that
got you here in the first place because 90 days from now, you're going to read
today's news. That's how it works.
If today's news is you stop towing the person you're with, you're loving them. If you
stop dating them like you did in the beginning, you stop treating them a particular way. You're
going to pay the price for it in a 90 to 120 days. If you're not eating the way you want
to, when you eat a piece of cake, you don't see the fat deposit the next day. There's a delay.
And so what happens is we do these negative behaviors and because we don't see an instant
pain or an instant consequence for it, we don't think the consequence is coming, but the
consequences always come. There's a delayed consequence for everything we do.
And so today, you're getting the external results of 90 days that goes headlines of what
you were doing. And the mistake most people make is they get things going in their life,
they get their business going, and they stop the very things that got them there
because they believe today is the headlines.
But you're going to read it in 90 to 120 days, you're going to pay the price.
And so in every area, pour the flames on, pour the fuel on,
do the things that got you there, but do more of it because there's an echo
for today's behavior.
The reverse is also true, and this is why most people give up on their dreams.
Success, the echo is longer.
In success, see, the negative comes 90 to 120 days, but the benefit, the gain, the increase,
the result of doing the right things is often delayed by six months, a year, 18 months,
two years, sometimes five years.
And so what happens is most people make these investments, they do all of the work, it's
almost like a bank account, they make the deposit, they make the deposit, they make the deposit,
and then they quit before they get to make the withdrawal, because they don't see the results.
And success, remember this, you're making these deposits, you're doing all the right things. It's not 90 days later, you get the result often. Sometimes it's not
120. Sometimes it's not six months. Sometimes it's not a year. Sometimes it's two years
and most people can't wait to make the withdrawal because they don't see the immediate result
or they go, well, wait a minute. When I do things wrong, I pay the price in 90 days. If I
eat poorly, 90 days later, my body doesn't look good.
If I don't perform right in my business,
my business goes down 90 to 120 days later.
If I don't read my personal development
or listen to the podcast I'm supposed to,
my identity shrinks 90 to 120 days.
How come when I do the good things,
the results don't come in 90 to 120 days?
Sometimes they will, but oftentimes the delayed gratification, the delayed benefit,
is way off into the future. The people that win in life accept both echoes. I accept in my life. I
know it's a law of the universe. I know it's a life law that if I don't do the right things 90 to 120
days, I'm going to pay the price. I also know the other law is if I'm doing the right things,
the benefit, the body changing, the finances changing, the life changing, the relationship changing
might be delayed by six months, not 90 days, might be a year, might be two, might be five years in
some areas, but I accept that there's always a payoff. Remember this, there's always an echo,
there's always a consequence. If you do the's always an echo. There's always a consequence.
If you do the wrong things, no matter how good your business is right now, listen to me.
You think you got it going and you're sloughing off a little bit.
You're not quite in the office as early as you used to be.
You're not making quite as many contacts as you once were.
You're not quite as focused as you once were because you think you got it because you're
reading three months ago's headlines or six months ago's headlines but I promise you 90 to
120 days from now you're gonna read today's headlines make sure that you
continue to do the right things I've also though come to believe and know in my
own life because my life is evidence of it that there's an echo for the
positives too I don't know when that one's coming back but I know it comes back
I know for a fact that if I do the right things in my diet and my nutrition, my body and
my workouts, my body eventually gives me the result.
I know in my finances, if I do the right things eventually there's an echo that comes back.
I'll eventually read today's headlines in my life and celebrate them.
I know in my relationships, if I invest and do the right things, the loving, the caring,
the believing, the actions required, that at some point there's an echo that comes back
in that relationship, blossoms and flourishes.
I know it in my identity, I know it in my self-confidence.
If I do the right things, the echo comes back eventually.
The thing to accept is it's going to come back.
If you know this, you begin to win.
If you know this, you don't look at today's
life and believe you've got it wired. You don't look at today's life and believe you're relegated to
these results forever. You know there's a negative, which is 90 to 120 days, and you know that there's a
positive, which that echo comes back longer. And the winners keep making the deposits, keep making
the investments because they know for a fact, for a fact that eventually
there's a withdrawal.
One of my favorite parables in the Bible, and I'll probably mess this up because I do that
all the time, but I mean this with the right intention, is the parable of the sower, which
basically says that if you keep planting seeds, that eventually God will provide a harvest,
I've begun to know that that's one of the laws of life. One of the echoes of life is that there's a harvest,
but those seeds that you're planting
are those phone calls, that diet, that workout,
those things you do in your relationship,
the investments you make in yourself and your identity,
that if you keep planting those seeds,
I.E. making those deposits, those investments
that eventually God will provide a harvest in your life.
But not all the seeds reap a harvest.
Sometimes you're gonna plant seeds that don't have great soil
or there's thornies soil and the seeds don't grow.
The wind can get it, the rain can get it,
the birds can take seeds, whatever can take the seeds.
But eventually if you keep planting the seeds
that there's a harvest that you will be rewarded with,
and this is a life law, it's true in every area.
There's also a negative harvest.
The chickens do come home to roost in every area
in our lives, but the negatives come home to roost much sooner than the positives do. And this is why most
people are confused in their lives. They say to me, Ed, I've been doing all the right things
in my nutrition and in my workout, why isn't my body better? Or I've been working on
myself for a while now, I'm reading the books, I'm listening to your podcast and I don't
see the results just yet in my life. And it's confusing because you say to yourself,
I'm doing the right things in the moment.
But you're still reading yesterday's headlines.
And sometimes the positive headlines can be,
like I said, a year, 18 months, two years.
But I promise you, the headlines change eventually.
Don't be confused by your current conditions.
Remember this, your current conditions,
your current life does not dictate your future.
Your past does not equal your future. Your present does not equal your future. What equals your future
are those deposits and those investments you're making now. There'll be an echo, there'll be a harvest.
There is a consequence for every behavior in life. We need to accept this. There's negative consequences
if we do the wrong things no matter how good it looks right now.
No matter how good your business, your finances, your relationship, your faith, your body looks right now.
There are consequences if you slow down. There are consequences if you're not doing the right things.
You are not immune to this. I've done a lot of podcasts or programs here on ego. If you begin to believe
that you were immune from the echoes of life, you were
immune from the positive and negative harbours, that's your ego speaking to you. Yes, miss
CEO, yes miss perfect, yes Mr. Successful financially right now, yes the guy with the
high self confidence, even you will suffer from the echoes and the consequences of life.
The good news is you control that and if you'll do the right things on a habitual and regular basis
You're assured long term of a positive harvest of a positive result in your life
And so I want to remind you today that you're in control of this if you're a person of faith like I am you and your God
Prank you planning the seeds and him eventually blessing with the harvest if you believe in plugging into the quantum field
And and I believe in both of those things by the way and getting the energy from the universe that can drive you, I promise you there's
a consequence and there's a reaction for every action. Just sometimes it comes in a delayed fashion.
There will be an echo in your life and my final question to you today is this, all of our actions
echo into eternity long after we're, our lives also have an echo.
Listen to me, your life matters.
What you do in your life matters.
You were born to do something great with your life.
You were put here for a reason, which is to make a difference in the world, which is
to change your own family's tree, which is to do something great with your life.
I promise you you were put here for that, in little ways and in big ways.
And there will be an echo for your life.
The actions of your life will echo into eternity.
The question is, will that echo for you be a whisper into eternity or a roar?
And you get to decide based on the actions you take every day in your life,
whether the life of you, whether it had a big meaning,
and it roars into eternity, or whether you play small, and it roars into eternity or whether you play small
and you just whisper into eternity.
You get to choose that.
I know you were born to have a roaring echo in this world long after you're here, the
investments you make in your children and grandchildren and to other people.
That's part of the roar of your life.
Maybe it's not a jet or a beach house, but it's the good things you do.
It's the seeds you sow of goodness and the contributions you make for others, the ripple into other people
over and over again. Far beyond what you can even imagine. That's your legacy. That's your
life. Worrying. It's echoing to eternity. But if you shrink, if you play small, if you
don't take risks, if you don't take those actions, if you don't keep improving, you don't
keep growing, then your life will just whisper into eternity and you won't take risks, if you don't take those actions, if you don't keep improving, you don't keep growing,
then your life will just whisper into eternity and you won't put here to be a whisper.
You were put here to be a roar into eternity. I know that for you.
I'm 100% convinced of what I'm telling you here today. I believe in you, I love you,
and I know you've got what it takes. Just remember this. Make the deposits, make the investments, plant the seeds.
There'll be a harvest that just is going to be delayed and God's time or in delayed time.
