Have you ever heard of the "Power of Three"? It IS truly very powerful and may just be the thing you need to get you going on the way to achieving what you truly want and deserve. With plenty of examples of this great "Power of Three", I will guide you into following those that came before us by giving actionable steps utilizing the "Power of Three" and how this one fantastic power could be the ultimate key to your success. Included in this episode are the three activities that you can do using the "Power of Three":
#1 Focus
#2 Long Term Goals
#3 Strategies This technique and all the topics I talk about take tenacity and a desire to see yourself living your best life right now and that is exactly what will make great things happen. Whatever you do, don't give up and always believe that the impossible is not impossible. It is only your thinking that makes it so. To have a more productive life in this ever-changing world listen to this episode. Get your dreams, desires, and results that you want. It's easy once you have the 411. *And no matter what, always remember what I've always said about this world, "Everything has to do with Everything." The simplest innocuous activity you do will affect another person, and maybe that other person is across the street, in another city, on the other side of the globe, OR not even born yet. The implications of your actions weigh heavy on you. I challenged myself using the great number seven. Do your very own seven-day challenge. The number seven is great for attracting things to you! Involve the number seven as much as you can because the number seven invokes that great law of the universe, The Law of Attraction. 1. Think of seven actions you can take and do that action for seven minutes/days/weeks. The more you involve the number seven the better it gets. 2. Make an affirmation whether it be a word or a sentence that's positive and write that affirmation seven times a day for seven days. 3. Sit quietly for seven minutes (set your timer) and think of what you want and/or how you see yourself in this world receiving what you want, pretending that you already have it. Make sure it's a good thing. Do this for seven days. 4. Do a creative and exciting action that is going to move you closer to your goal. For me, I want to be a successful podcaster in my genre so I will do an episode every day for seven days. 5. Make it fun and not a chore.

best place on earth. I want you to get out

9
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:37.359
of that comfortable situation that you hate and get into

10
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.119
an uncomfortable situation where you grow and you have all

11
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.320
of your dreams and desires met. And that is what

12
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.159
I want for you. If you are a new listener

13

much for tuning in and I hope that you enjoy

15

this episode. Now, everybody, sit back, relax and enjoy this episode.

16
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:04.719
On the power of three. What is that? Well, you're

17
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.640
going to find out right now. Did you know that

18
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.640
the number of three is said to be the number

19
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:17.040
of good fortunes? It is also it stands for harmony, wisdom,

20
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.799
and understanding. Who doesn't want that? The power of three

21
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.159
is what it's really called? And it works in every

22
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:30.280
aspect of our lives. In fact, the rule of three

23
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:35.640
is a universal rule that originates within our very biology.

24
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.840
If you do just a small amount of research, you

25
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.760
will find that the rule of three is applicable to

26
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:49.920
almost every subject there is, from art to economics. Well,

27
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.120
the rule of three and the human brain is a

28
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.000
very interesting thing. There is no accident that the rule

29
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.959
of three is so pervasive in our story worries, history, comedy,

30
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:07.640
and educational studies. But how well we can safely say

31
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.080
it all comes down to the way humans process information

32
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.840
in the brain. Patterns are a lot easier to remember

33
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.400
than an odd sequence of events or facts. And it

34
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:26.439
just so happens that three is the smallest number required

35
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:32.080
to create a pattern. And the brain loves patterns. Our

36
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.719
brains love them. Patterns help us keep order and help

37
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:42.080
us avoid problems and solve problems, and the number three

38
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.800
helps us predict things that may happen. The researchers at

39
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.960
the University of Missouri found out that our short term

40
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.360
memory can only remember about three things. And we all

41
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.400
have three different parts of the brain, well, the front,

42
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:01.879
the middle, on the back, all doing three different things

43
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.759
for our bodies. One easy example is to think about

44
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.960
the fairy tales you grew up reading and how important

45
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.879
the number three is for remembering these fairy tales that

46
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:18.960
we all remember so well. Well, there was Goldilocks and

47
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.560
the three Bears. There were the three Little Pigs, the

48
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:26.719
three Blind mice, and there is the three Wise Men,

49
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.960
the three Stooges, and the three Musketeers. Well, here are

50
00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:34.400
some really good examples of the rule of three within

51
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:39.080
our own culture and society. Life, liberty and the pursuit

52
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.800
of happiness. Government of the people, by the people, and

53
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:48.639
for the people. Location, location, location. When talking about real estate, blood,

54
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:55.199
sweat and tears, mind, body, spirit, stop, look listen, I came,

55
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.879
I saw, I conquered. And that's what we want to do,

56
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:03.680
is conquer are beliefs and conquer the idea that we

57
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:07.800
are stuck in a comfortable situation. And how about some

58
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:13.080
advertisers that use three word slogans that we all see

59
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.759
everywhere and know by heart. How about just do it

60
00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:23.720
the Nike slogan finger licking good, Kentucky Fried Chicken Taste,

61
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:28.839
the Rainbow Skittles, I'm loving it McDonald's. You see, the

62
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:34.399
rule of three suggests that when words phrases and sentences

63
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.079
are written in threes. They are funnier, more satisfying, and

64
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:45.800
more persuasive than any other amount of words. And guess

65
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:49.199
what I have a little bit more? What does Santa

66
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.040
Claus say? Of course we know this ho ho ho?

67
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.000
And what is that lallaby about a boat? Row? Row,

68
00:04:56.160 --> 00:05:00.279
row your boat gently down the stream? And how about one, two,

69
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.160
three strikes you're out the red, white, and blue to

70
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:07.439
describe the American flag. Well, there are tons of examples,

71
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.040
and so I ask you to just remember it is

72
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.360
the smallest number required to create a pattern. This pattern

73
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.079
of three can easily be seen as a simple rule

74
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.519
of three that most people that decorate their homes know.

75
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.639
It's pretty simple. The guideline of threes say that things

76
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:33.480
arranged in odd numbers are more appealing, memorable, and effective

77
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.800
than even numbered groupings. Three seems to be the magic

78
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.839
number and it is shown to be the most used

79
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.319
number in decorating a house with pillows, candles, et cetera,

80
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:50.319
et cetera. Think groupings that you see in any home

81
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:56.639
decorse store. Great example is sofa chair, love seat. Yes, indeed,

82
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.800
three does seem to be the magic number in many

83
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:06.279
things and so the number three comes in handy in metaphysics,

84
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:11.480
science and self development. Yes, I was going to get there. Finally,

85
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:19.399
self development. Well. The American psychologist Abraham Moslow said there

86
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.959
were three things that we all really need in life.

87
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.000
Someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

88
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.639
And that is so true, especially nowadays. And according to

89
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.360
Martin Luther King Junior, he believed in the power of three.

90
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.519
Utilizing another set of three, length with and height. Length

91
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.839
is developing your inner powers to be all you can

92
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:50.319
be and to better yourself. With is the outward reach

93
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.279
to others. For example, I'm not alone in this world,

94
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.240
and I need others and others need me. And to

95
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:02.079
have height is to reach up and give hope to others.

96
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:06.759
It's a beautiful thought that you can put into action. Hey,

97
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:10.879
remember what I always say and truly believe. You plant

98
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.120
the seed, and the seed being your dreamer desire. You

99
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.720
water the seed, the water being the actions that you take,

100
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:22.600
and the seed grows. That's the power of three. The

101
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.879
same can be said for another set of threes. Your

102
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:31.680
thoughts become your feelings, and your feelings become your actions.

103
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.680
So your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions, And it's

104
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.800
only after those three things are done that you will

105
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:44.040
achieve the results you want in life, in whatever your

106
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:48.920
goal is. Affirmations, too, work well in threes. The most

107
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:53.240
recent example I can give is my latest affirmation of wealth,

108
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:59.160
peace and harmony. Having three word affirmations make you remember

109
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:04.800
them easier. So finally, finally, I ask you, how do

110
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:10.279
you and me and everybody else utilize this pattern of

111
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:14.720
three to improve our life? Well, there are three great

112
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.560
ways to do that. Well. The first one is to focus.

113
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.040
It always helps to have a goal for the day.

114
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.920
Before you start your day, think about the top three

115
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:30.000
things that you want to accomplish. This will be your

116
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:34.840
measuring stick quote unquote for the success you've accomplished for

117
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:39.120
the day. Write these three things down and place it

118
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.759
somewhere you can easily read it and see it and

119
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.840
cross it off when you're done with each one. Well,

120
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.120
how about your long term goals? Your long term goals

121
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.200
also need attention, and the rule of three still applies

122
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.559
to this. Think of your top three goals that you

123
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.639
would like to reach within a span of a year

124
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.879
or a few years, perhaps three years. Don't be pressured

125
00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:09.279
into doing a ton of goals these goals will have

126
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.799
their own objectives that you will need to go and

127
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:18.679
walk through they will Anything too much and too overwhelming

128
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.840
will not give you the success that you are looking for.

129
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:27.919
So keep it to three goals. What about strategies that's important.

130
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.279
You may not believe it, but the rule of three

131
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:34.440
applies when thinking about what strategies you take to get

132
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:38.200
to your dream, your goal, and your desire and to

133
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:43.360
become successful. You can apply it with your business, your home, life,

134
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.399
or your children or anything. Make up three really good

135
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.960
strategies to accomplish your goal. If you make three strategies

136
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.720
of how to go about getting to your goal, you

137
00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:59.960
can use them when one of them perhaps maybe fail.

138
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:04.480
Keep in mind that having more than three strategies may

139
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.840
become confusing. Choosing the top three strategies that you can

140
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:12.600
work with will be enough for you to get started

141
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:17.039
on your road to success. And don't forget the number

142
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:20.720
three is the number of a blessed life. It is

143
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:25.399
to be filled with everything you want, dream and desire.

144
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.320
So how are you going to put the number three

145
00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:34.840
to work in your life? Only you know that. Hey,
