The lottery of life
What do you think your chances would be of making $20,000 if you read a good real estate book or took a great course and applied everything that you have read. What if you were really bad and could only muster a 33% chance of making the money? That is the weird thing most people would enter any $20,000 drawing if the tickets were only $100 and they had a 33% chance of winning. The funny part to me is that your odds of winning a drawing are based solely on chance, where as your odds of buying a ticket for yourself are based on your actions not just chance. Why not take a chance on yourself. Im sure that when you dig into your head for reasons NOT to invest in yourself you can come up with hundreds of examples where you have invested in yourself and failed. Your past does not equal your present.
I read somewhere to picture yourself in the middle of the ocean on a boat. If you look back all you will see is your wake, the wake always follows the boat. To someone who knows nothing about boats or water it may appear as if the wake pushes the boat forward; just as someone who doesn’t study themselves might think that their past equals their present. The present moment is like the engine to your boat, you can steer your boat anywhere you would like to go, the wake will always follow, but the wake will never power your boat.
