I wrote this for another year for a small group of people. I figured I would share it with my new audience. Every year I will make a new motivation page to help those moving forward in this world.
Motivation 2008
I try to make the most of everyday. The only place I can find to cut time is sleep. I will do plenty of that when I am dead.
30 is around the corner and I feel that last 100 yards is ahead of me and now its time to push. I run into a lot of people that WANT what I have, but they will not do what I do to get it.
You talk about how awesome the club was last night while I was reading a book.
You talk about not having much energy while I am figuring out which one of Colorado’s 14er’s I want to climb.
You want to eat out and shop all the time while I said I would show you how to make some trades online but you never have any “extra” money to play with.
My wife and I always argue. She says some people just cannot catch any breaks.
I say people create them.
I can happily say every dime I made is mine, coming from a not so wealthy family. And I am not hating on those that do, but if you do, you already have that extra step, DO something with it.
Everything I have came from hard work and educating myself. When I was 18, I was at borders on Fridays night learning for free while friends were drinking 40’s.
Same thing now, just that I spend time moving forward as a person while the people around me find other things to take them backwards or stay the same, living the same old life year after year like every other dual incomer in the neighborhood living in the same tract homes, all driving Camry’s and watching all of their income go to credit card debt because the smiths next door got a 50” Plasma at Costco and now we must get a 60”.
Those people are suckers. They MAKE IT EASY to get into that top 5% bracket. A little bit of hard work and smart decisions and you pass these people by in a second.
Tell you what, there’s no rule that says if you make 1000 excuses you will finally get what you deserve. You just end up with nothing, thinking about excuse 1001
