Compound your way to greatness
 If you were given a choice of accepting $100,000 at the end of 30 days, or accepting the result of taking a penny and doubling it everyday for 30 days, which choice would you make?
This involves the principle of compounding. I believe the spiritual laws work upon the same concept, but spiritual laws produce greater and faster results. Spiritual laws are based upon a much higher vibrational level than physical laws. Now let's start compounding that penny to see what is the better choice?
1. $.01x2=$.02 2. $.02x2=$.04 3. $.04x2=$.08 4. $.08x2=$.16 5. $.16x2=$.32 6. $.32x2=$.64 7. $.64x2=$1.28 8. $1.28x2=$2.56 9. $2.56x2=$5.12 10. $5.12x2=$10.24 11. $10.24x2=$20.48 12. $20.48x2=$40.96 13. $40.96x2=$81.92 14. $81.92x2=$163.94 15. $163.94x2=$327.58 16. $327.68x2=$655.36 17. $655.36x2=$1310.72 18. $1319.72x2=$2621.44 19. $2621.44x2=$5242.88 20. $5242.88x2=$10,485.96 21. $10,485.96x2=$20,975.52 22. $20,975.52x2=$41,943.04 23. $41,943.04x2=$83,866.08 24. $83,866.08x2=$167,777.16 25. $167,777.16x2=$335.544.32 26. $335,544.32x2=$671,088.64 27. $671,088.64x2=$1,342,177.20 28. $1,342,177.20x2=$2,684,354.40 29. $2,684,354.40x2=$5,368,708.80 30. $5,368,708.80x2=$10,737,417.60.
