THE ONE THIRD METHOD By Paul Agliata
The One Third Method is a way of life. It is not the way, it is a way.
It’s a simplified way of living your life’s plan that uses easy concepts based on simple rules of thumb.
I call them Third’izums.
It promotes concepts such as : Learn IT, earn IT, then buy IT. Borrow money only to leverage your
buying power, for example buying an asset like real estate or something that over time appreciates
We discourage the use of credit cards, borrowing to buy things that depreciate like cars, boats ,
vacations. We like the old school philosophy of; “If you can't afford it, don’t buy it.” We encourage
becoming more self reliant, cost cutting and saving on fuel, food, clothing consumption.
ONE THIRD-IZUMS
one seed
one egg
to make one human being human. YOU. 1+1=3
- There are 3 components that make up the human being human.
Body
Mind
Spirit
You need to pay attention and give time to each part, everyday.
- RELATIONSHIPS consist of 3 unique persons:
There is YOU
There is ME
There is WE
Each has its own tone (vibration) and voice. Together WE make harmony. Harmony has its own
sound/ vibration, voice and feel. When one voice is louder than the other there is no longer harmony
the WE sound and feel is gone and then there is only you and me again no harmony no we.
- Three important stages in the cycle of a healthy relationship
Harmony
Disharmony
Repair
In very relationship just know that you are going to have moments when there is Harmony, that you
are going to have moments of Disharmony because we are human and the third and most important
part for a health relationship is to have Repair.
- HARMONY The sound of harmony is comprised of 3 individual notes or vibrations.
Note C for example
Note D , played together produces another
Individual unique note that harmonizes.
- LIFE Our life span, in round numbers, is 90 years.
Live the first third to educate yourself about who you are and what you love to do, plan your
work and get to know your passion. What brings you happiness and joy.
Live the second third to work your plan. Follow your passion, your joy. What do you love to
do and what makes you happy. Be productive and acquire wealth.
Live the third part of your life in Teaching and giving back. Life is a series of mountains and
valleys, and when you’re at one of your mountain tops always remember to look back and
see if you can lend a hand.
- There are 24 hours in a one complete day.
Sleep eight hours
Be Productive for eight hours.
Play, read, relax, write and have down time for eight hours.
- FAMILY A basic family consists of 3 people
- FINANCIAL Break up each dollar you earn into thirds.
Use one third to pay for the Federal and States Taxes, sales taxes, gasoline, transportation cost,
clothing, in other words, all that goes into making the dollar, the expense third.
Invest a third.
Live on a third. Set limits on the quantity of life. Like the mortgage you would qualify for, the
kind of car you drive vacations, etc.
Remember quality of life is very much different then quantity.
