Choices

Author says that we all came to this world the same, we were naked, scared and ignorant, author says our life is simply an accumulation of all the choices we make, author says that our choices can be our best friend or it can be our worst enemy,  our choices can take us to our goals or can give us wrong direction or way,  Have a thought, everything which you have at this moment is because of your choices,  choices are the actual root of your results, every choice you make at first starts with your behavior and then ultimately becomes habit,  hence if you make poor choices, then ultimately you increase chances of making more harder choices and if you think of not making any choice at all then you will ultimately choose to go with the flow and you just make a choice of becoming a passive receiver of whatever comes your way. At the start you make choices and later choices start making you, hence you need to be very careful with your choices, every single choice needs to be taken carefully.

Hence this chapter is about becoming aware of and making choices because your choices will make your life.

The Compound Effect Summary Chapter 3:

Habits

In this chapter author has shared an example of wise teacher and a student, where teacher was taking a stroll through the forest with a young student and while strolling the forest that teacher stood in front of a tiny tree, where she asked that young student to pull up that sapling, that student easily pulled it out, then again teacher asked that student to remove sprout which was just coming out from the earth, young student followed his teacher order and removed it out with his two fingers, then again teacher asked that student to remove another sapling which had grown to about knee high of a boy, with little efforts that boy made it possible and tree came up with roots and all, again that teacher asked boy to remove well-developed evergreen, again that boy followed his teacher instruction and with all efforts and hard work and by throwing sticks and stones he managed and finally got tree to lose, And when again teacher asked him to pulled another tree which was the biggest and the huge tree and boy can hardly see the tree height, with this that boy said I am sorry but I can’t.

Then to this wise teacher replied,  that he has just demonstrated the power of habits will have over your life, teacher said the older your habit will become the bigger they get and the bigger they get the dipper their roots grow, and the more dipper the roots will go the harder it will become to remove it, and it will become so harder than you even hesitate to try.

Hence our habits should be made wisely, at the start it will look easy but as it becomes old it becomes tough and eventually, your habit will make your life. For example, if you think that you can leave smoking habit anytime then this might be your wrong thought, because ones it becomes your dipper level habit then removing it will be very hard and at a certain level you won’t even try to remove it.
