Forget the Elephants, Watch Out for the Fleas (repost)




Forget the Elephants, Watch Out for the Fleas by Justin Herald


English | 2009 | ISBN: 174175691X | 132 pages | PDF | 1,1 MB




You"ve heard the saying, "the elephant in the room", meaning an issue that is impossible to overlook. The strange thing is, all of us seem to concentrate and focus only on these big issues, thinking that if they are worked out and sorted, everything else will be fine. But what you really need to look out for are "the fleas", the small issues. These little, pesky and annoying things in life have the ability to become quite large over time, possibly as big as an elephant. Justin Herald tackles the areas that are most likely to be the fleas in your life, so you can recognise and resolve them before they grow into larger problems.


The purpose of this book is simple. Most people’s


problems start out as small as a flea, but too often


those problems or issues are left alone and eventually


become as huge as an elephant. This book


has been written to help you understand and


address the ‘small’ things in your life so you can


reach your desired goals without too many


disruptions.


If you were to go to Africa on safari, the guide


wouldn’t have to spend a lot of time pointing out


the elephants. Why? Because they are so big that


you can’t miss them—you can see those elephants


coming from a long way off. It is the same with


the big issues in your life. You probably don’t


need someone to point out your own big issues as


you already know what they are.


Now a flea is a different story. Fleas are tiny,


they cause a great deal of irritation and it takes a


lot of searching and concentration to find one.


This is the same with the ‘fleas’ of your life. Some


little issues will need to be searched for and may


take some time to find, but unless you address


these little areas they can add up to one major


headache. Ignorance solves nothing. Each and


every one of you reading this book has to take


control over the little issues before they blow out


and cause major disruptions to your life. Sure,


some of those ‘fleas’ may take a bit of work to


track down, but be diligent and you will reap the


benefits. Time and concentration is the key here.


Spend some time reading this book and concentrate


on ridding yourself of the small things that


keep on popping up in your life and creating


bigger problems.


Each of us has DNA that makes us who we


are. DNA is a structure that carries the genetic


information that makes up an individual. That is


why we are all different to each other. When it


comes to reaching success in our lives, I believe


that we all have our own individual ‘success


DNA’ as well. By that, I mean instead of trying to


be like someone else, copying what others have


done or learning how they did it, maybe we


should concentrate on trying to understand our


own success DNA. You need to understand that


your way is your way when it comes to success.


This in turn means that you, the individual, need


to work on every aspect of who you are. This


includes the good, the not so good, the big issues


(the elephants), the small issues (the fleas) and,


at some point in time, areas that haven’t popped


up yet..
