You are not a Tree. Jim Rohn says you have the power of choice. If you don't like your life, change it. Don't like where you live, move. Don't like where you work, quit. You are not a tree. Take responsibility, not a little, not half the responsibility, take it all. 100% accountability

Jim Rohn said, "There are no new fundamentals." Truth is old and the compound effect is real and working every day. Even if you aren't thinking about it. It's working for you, or it's working aginst you. Small, seemingly insignificant things adding up, compounding day after day. It's time to take action and make the compound effect work for you.

Don't Stop...thinking about tomrrow. So many things remind me of songs. Don't stop, don't quit...keep going. Jim Rohn says, How long should you try? ...Until. Keep trying until. Persistance and your obsession with it creates "overnight" success. Keep trying, baby....

Take me to your leader! Who's in charge around here anyway? To be a leader and to be in control are not always the same thing.

To be or not to be. That is the question, to quote Mr Shakespeare. This is our last chapter and now that you have read about all the  pieces of essentialism, the question is what will you do with them. The author says essentialism can't work best if you do it, you must be an essentialist, at the core. Maybe not completely at first but something you grow into.

Focus on the now. What is important now? Not in the future, not in the past, but now. If you don't know what's most important now, then the most important thing now is figuring out what is the most important thing now.

Get in the groove, Go with the flow. Habit is powerful and if you are working in a routine that is now a habit you don't have to think about it

Baby steps? Makes sense, small steps to start before we run. What is the smallest thing you can accomplish that leads to your goal? Today, do that first.

Slow down to speed up, subtract to add. It all sounds so confusing, but it's about getting the obstacles out of the way . Get rid of the bottlenecks in your process.

Give yourself some space. Add a little time to the plan, add a little money, add more people. Don't make it by the skin of your teeth. 

What is the edge? The boundary? The Limit? How far can you be pushed away from your objective or purpose? If you don't set your own limits, they will be set by default, or maybe worse, set by somoene else. Take control and set boundaries for your work life, family life, etc...

Take away to add. It doesn't make sense at first glance. How can we add by taking away? We do that by creating more space for what is important. We make room. Reduce your options and you make way for easier decisions. Condense. Can I eliminate one step, one sentence, one process? Can I correct one item where we are off track. Take away to add. 

Like the song in Frozen...Let it go, let it go. Don't let "sunk cost bias" derail you. Learn to uncommit from the trivial many.

How dare you say no? What trade-offs must be made? Saying no takes courage, and you have to practice, but it is the only way to combat the trivial many.
