A
Silly Question Worth Serious Thought - Do You
Want To Be Rich?
by Noel Peebles
That
sounds ridiculous. Of course you'd like to be
rich, wouldn't everybody? But do you
really?
Your
words might say you do, but our thoughts and actions
very often say something entirely different.
What
am I getting at? Well...
If
you are still doing things the same way you've
always done things, then reading this could be
the most important thing you do all year. Why?
Because your thoughts and actions can be the fuel
you need to get your business up and running.
However,
consider this - your thoughts and actions can
also act like a 'straight jacket.' They could
be stopping you from reaching your fullest potential,
or making it easy for competitors to knock you
around.
Don't
fall into this trap and become a victim of change.
Instead, embrace change and continually re-educate
the mind.
There
is an old saying, "you never stop learning"
and it's true. If you are willing to make a personal
commitment to perpetual re-education, you will
come face-to-face with some of the most exceptional
opportunities the world has ever seen.
The
truth is; we have all been exposed to more change
in the last two decades, than mankind has experienced
in the past 2000 years. The situation is terrifying,
frightening and awesome in its potential opportunity.
Given
such conditions, the natural survival instinct
is to cling to what you know. It's a bit like
clinging to a life raft when a ship is sinking...it's
the safest thing to do. But is it?
The
ship of life is not sinking. It's just changing
direction and you can either stay on board and
ride the tides of change, or cling to the life
raft of hope.
Like
it or not, we are living in one of the most exciting
periods civilization has ever known -the information
age. This is a period of astounding and radical
change. It's like being with Christopher Columbus
on the Santa Maria... only now with computers,
jet aircraft, lasers, global positioning systems
and cellular phones at our disposal.
Prepare
yourself for the adventures of your lifetime.
Rip open that 'straight jacket' and let go that
life raft. This is a wonderful opportunity to
become part of history and ride these ever-changing
tides of discovery and change.
And...even
if you don't change the world, you can change
the way you do things and the way you react to
situations. The first critical step is to have
a personal commitment to re-education and decide
not to become a victim of change.
Embrace
Change... if you want to become rich, it is your
best guarantee of success.
