The dead-on principle crucial for your success.

Are you ready for it?

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I'm not joking, I'm saying this is crucial and it's amazing how few people actually talk about this, including philosophers and people that you would think would, would really need to talk about this type of thing because it is the basis.

Honestly, it's the basis for all western civilization.

You wonder what it is?

It's real simple.

It's talked about, well, it's talked around a lot. I mean, people toss it around a lot, but they never discussed what it really is, in its most simple context.

The term is common sense.

But what does common sense mean?

I looked it up on Wikipedia, at least at the time that I looked it up, has a great paragraph, and I don't have it in front of me.

So that shows you how well prepared I am, I don't have it in front of me.

But they have their first paragraph where they discuss common sense is pretty darn good and it comes down to this concept.

Here's the debt on principle, and see if you can see how all how this breaks out to eventually meaning success in business. Because if you do not believe this, if you don't believe it's possible, you can't have success.

If you do believe it's and you will never find happiness.

If you do believe it's possible. If you believe that that's, well, obvious, then you need to live by it on every level.

If you live by it on every level, you'll find success and happiness and everything all comes back to the same point.

What's the point?

The point is that actual truth exists, and it can be known, and it's not learned.

I talk a lot about books here. You know, I was talking about this one.

Well, wasn't this one, I was talking about another one of Russell Bronson's books the other night. It's not the book that teaches you. The book is a reflection of light if you can say that.

As if light was coming from that, you know, the moon doesn't give off any light, right?

The moon is reflecting the light from the sun. Okay, books don't…that's why you can read a book and say I don't get it.

I mean, I understood all the words, I understood what they were saying, but it just doesn't ring true. It doesn't, it doesn't hit anything. And either it does or doesn't, that's I was why you could take the same book years later, reread it, and get something out of it.

Because there's something else that's opened up.

It's that common sense is something internal. You recognize truth, when you hear it, it has, you know, we say it has a ring to it, or, you know that rings true, that whole concept, people talk about the AHA experience, ah, I get it, I get it.

And it's only after hearing about something or coming in contact with something or just having it show up while you're taking a shower.

You get something and it comes out of nowhere and all of a sudden you get it.

You may have heard the words tossed around but the words just symbolize the concept and that's that all truth is knowable.
