(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.)


Filters are some of Life’s little simplifiers. You don’t have to learn everything by yourself. You can use tools, processes, and approaches learned and perfected by others. Filters are some of those.

Filters do a lot of the work for you, freeing you to choose to focus your energy more effectively.

For instance, think of some event which has a clear focus – a certain sport, a specific type of music, a lecture on an interesting topic. The people who are attracted to and attend the event have self-selected to be there. You didn’t have to do anything to be with that particular group other than show up.
The event is the filter.

Think about that. It doesn’t mean everyone attending is identical. Of course not. It simply means they have condensed the amount of interest in a certain topic to a specific time and place. Kind of like an espresso versus a mug of plain coffee. It’s coffee but condensed.


What you do with the event’s filtered, condensed energy is your business. If you’re looking to connect with folks for a specific reason you may want to see where they already gather.


This is a richer topic than may first appear when you begin to think of several topics of interest to you. And begin to look for ways they each have filters which will work on your behalf!
