Half Way; There is Light at the End of the Tunnel

So, we are a little over half way now in our challenge to be millionaires in a year. How are we going?

If I had to sum it up in one word it would be 'forward' that's how we are going.
Despite what is happening on our journey and despite what ill informed no bodies (not content with their own lives so they feel the need to belittle others) continue to say we are learning a great many things, about ourselves and about people in general.

You see there are people in this world that would have you believe that certain people are bad, and I guess you can find evidence of this in psychopaths and psychotics.
However I am of the opinion, and it is just that, my opinion that people are generally good.
No one goes into business to try and wrong someone. To deliberately try and rip someone off.
There may be some that will argue that point, and to them I would say read my post Lean January to see what sort of person you are, if you truly believe that people you are going into business with are going to rip you off, then perhaps you need to take a look at yourself as to why this might occur. Could it perhaps be that you would have no trouble in doing so yourself to someone? Food for thought.
That includes the people that continually try and drag people down. The people that make assumptions based on their own best thinking. The reason I say that is this;
These people feel, for some reason, that they are the victim, they have been brought up to try and find an answer outside of themselves to the problems they have in their lives.
So it's not that these people are bad or other wise, it is more the fact that they have brought into the lies that have been sold to them, by their parents, by society, by the media, you fill in the blanks.

Can they change the way they look at things? Absolutely, will they? Probably not, they would rather hold on to their way of thinking because they're right than entertain the fact that there could be more to something than what is on the surface. This is a good reason why that only 3% of the world population is truly wealthy, their mind is open to the fact that perhaps they don't know everything. They are willing to entertain a thought that might be foreign to them at first.
This is one of the very things that does, in fact, separate the haves from the have nots. That simple notion that perhaps they do not know everything.

Delving a little deeper into that, the haves in this world understand that it is the area that we don't know that we don't know that our true success is located.

Read that last sentence again to let it sink in.

So what does it all mean? Simple, we all have choices in life. Anyone can have success, it is a choice. We must be willing to look into where we don't know that we don't know.
So if success is as easy and simple as looking in that place and making a decision why aren't more people doing it?
Fear! False Evidence Appearing Real which of course I have spoken of before.

Let me sum up with this, you are not going to be able to please all people all of the time, and you know what, who cares, stay true to yourself, stay focused on your outcome and keep striving until you get it.
Will it happen in a day? Will it happen in a year? Who knows, more to the point WHO CARES!
Just know that the only way you are going to fail in achieving your goals and ultimately having anything you truly desire, is to QUIT.
The only one who can determine that is YOU

Until next time!
