I’ve come to realize the formula for success is pretty simple. It’s just knowledge x execution compounded over time.

(Knowledge x Execution )^ Time = Success

Some of my problems are knowledge problems. By that I mean I don’t know what needs to be done or worse yet I don’t know what I need to stop doing. Now usually the universe has already told me in some way what I need to do I’m just not open to it. My favorite solution to the equation's knowledge portion is just reading. If you for 30 minutes to 1 hour each day over time you’ll learn what needs to be learned or unlearned and understood.

The other half is execution. Getting yourself and sometimes others to do the thing that needs to be done. This too is a knowledge problem however the desire for more knowledge counterintuitively gets in the way here. A lot of things are too complex or at least would take too long for you to understand before you start. Instead, you need to have courage and commitment to start without confidence or even capability. Just starting gives you a lot of knowledge you couldn’t have predicted beforehand and so the limiting factor here is just courage in the face of uncertainty.

The last part of the equation is time. Most things you want require the constant application of knowledge and action which gets compounded over multiple moments in time. Here you need to have faith ( knowledge) that it works out even though the results aren’t here yet and you need to persist with the action (execution) even though you won’t always feel like doing it.

Like most things in life, success is pretty simple, but our ignorance complicates it.
