Well here I am on a flight back home and flying at 37,000 feet. I never imagined myself flying all over the country but life's kind of funny that way. I've gone through several paces and hit the turbulence of life. I hated school but quickly found that life was just as rough afterwards. If we are ill prepared then life becomes one big disappointment. We sometimes grow up in an artificial world, sheltered by our family and friends. Reality becomes a harsh realization that some people can't handle. Hitting mid-life some people have a crisis or breakdown. Turning 41 in a week and half causes me to look back and reflect on my life. I've come a long way with my daily struggles and think of people that I know that have there own dilemmas. I've also learned a great deal about personal finances. As our income grows, so does our debt. We become trapped in a vicious cycle of being broke just at a higher level. We don't teach our own children how to avoid the mistakes that we ourselves have made. Teaching them the need to save to protect our established lifestyles.
I on the other hand have done everything possible to show my children the cruel realities the world offers. I also have showed them the great rewards it has to offer to those persistent enough to pursue them. Travelling alone on business gives one much time to think, formulate and act upon one's goals. I've been told many times how I'm so disorganized and need to straighten out my desk. Although after perfecting the "pile-it" system over the last 40 years it's tough to change. I had written down at one time or another a phrase that I'd like to share with you now, "How can you expect a change in your life if you continue to live exactly the same everyday?" Sometimes we expect some big miracle or change to come from nowhere but it never does. If we want to change our lives we need to make that change happen. So as far as being organized, again I will attempt the change to make it happen. I realize that I need this change to become more effective and better manage my time and this in turn will improve my quality of life.
So what am I trying to imply to you today while flying high above the US? The only way we can change an undesirable situation is to make a change. I originally kept to myself and never did anything to make waves but it didn't get me to where I wanted to be. I had to think outside the box and leave my comfort zone. Now I travel the country and my family has gone on several vacations that would have never been possible if I myself would not have changed. Sometimes my mind will just make some irrational, impulsive decision but those are the decisions that have propelled me into a better life. I might not be a millionaire, at least not yet, but I am clearly on the correct path to be. I am constantly striving to better myself and my life. No one showed me the way and I had to find it myself. I've met some great people with the most powerful advise that has guided me on my journey. Avoid the negative and find people that are like what you want to become. They are the ones that will guide you and advise you to discover your Success From Within. We all have it some where but sometimes we need a little help to find it. Right now I'm in the middle of reading Napoleon Hill's Law of Success and it has the most powerful insight from some of the greatest financial geniuses of the 20th century. If you would like a copy in ebook form, let me know and I would be more than happy to forward you a copy. I believe it should be in every person's hands that wish to find success. I have collected a variety of ebooks that have added great value to my search for success. You will find that in your search you will collect many books as well.
I look forward to the New Year with great enthusiasm as we travel towards our own successes. Please feel free to leave your personall achievements and comments. I appreciate any input and am very open to new ideas that can help us all reach our Success From Within.
