Welcome back, everybody. I'm Ed Mylett. Today, we're going to talk about the echo of life,

or the echoes in life. And 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 is 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 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, when my body isn't looking like I want it to, if I look back 60 to 90, 120 days,

that's where 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

if you did, if you read the newspaper from 90 to 120 days ago, that's where the news was made,
