As you journey down the road toward wealth, there are always obstacles that appear. It can be family, friends, that pesky job (J.O.B. = Just Over Broke), shortage of funds, etc. All of these things have happened to the people who have already created wealth. What's the difference? The only difference is that the people who have created wealth never allow the obstacles and limitations to stop them. They find a way around, over, through the barriers so they can continue on their way toward their goals.
What is that secret ingredient? How do they come up with the solutions? One word, they think! They use their knowledge, their imagination, their friends' knowledge, business associates, libraries, any resource they can get their hands on to find a solution. Once they have the idea, they act. Sometimes the idea doesn't work. They persist, they continue on, until the problem is overcome.
Conversely, what do the rest of people do? They encounter an obstacle. They pause, they fret, they flounder, they wonder "why is this happening?", "why does this always happen to me?", "life is too hard!", and they give up. They settle. They conclude "it's not meant to be".
Which one are you? Are you using your mind to solve, or to frustrate? Are there resources you have not checked? Are there others who have encountered the problem and have conquered it? Look, listen, apply, act, learn. Repeat. Simple formula. When you really get down to it, life is simple, we always complicate things.
Do to others as you would have them do to you. Luke 6:31
Information is not knowledge without action.
Knowledge creates choices.
Choices allow us to change our lives.
