Finding An Old Diamond - Rediscovering "Lead the Field"

Whilst going through my various books of digital or dead-tree format on a multitude of subjects, I tend to drift back to the ones about business and personal development (or humour - John Hodgmans latest, although long in audio format, has me in stitches).

But flipping through those resources I ran across one of the more inspirational works for many of todays "positive people" - and that was Earl Nightingales' "Lead the Field" (along with "The Strangest Secret").

Although an older volume - I think the copy I was given (one of the greatest gifts any of my friends has ever given me) was published in 1986 - it is completely appropriate for today and still has lots of pertinent information and got me serious about going down the path of truly believing in myself.

I'm re-listening to it, and one of the more interesting parts is about personal worth.

So many people I have run into think that they're not worth anything, or feel underpaid or undervalued (hasn't everybody at some point?), but a tip to remember is that if the hydrogen atoms in your body could be utilized, according to some scientists - that would be worth $85 billion dollars as it is enough energy to power an industrialized nation for a week.

So think about that internal worth - that $85 Billion dollars that is stored in you - and how you can unlock it. I leave you with the formula to make that happen:

The amount of money we receive will always be in direct ratio to the demand for what we do, our ability we do it, and the difficulty in replacing us. - Earl Nightingale
