As far as I can remember, I always wanted to be successful. I assume everyone does, but I remember distinctly when I was in 4th and 5th grade. It was a time in my life when I was doing well in school, and overheard friends and family talking about how bright I was. Even some random careers were thrown around, doctor, engineer…
It was then I started to ponder a bit on my future. I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to be wealthy in every area of my life, not just money, but health, relationships etc… It was at the time, one day on tv, I saw an infomercial for Tony Robbins. He looked very excited on tv, energetic. It was summer time, I had nothing to do but watch tv. I remember it like it was yesterday.
It showed this beautiful island. And Tony Robbins was standing in front of it. A house which looked like it was out of a fairy tale shown from the sky. It was amazing. It was the first time I ever saw anything like it. It was the first time, I saw so much wealth. It was the first time the idea that someone could buy a whole island ruffled my young mind. WOw! Its a whole another level. A private jet. Since then I don’t think I’ve ever had the same image of wealth in my head. Remember no matter how wealthy or successful you are, there’s always another level. You stop growing when you stop stretching yourself, challenging yourself to get to the next level. Whatever area of life that it maybe in, you must be grateful for the current level in your life, the blessings and strive to reach to the next level.
You may say, “I’m happy where I’m now, I’m content. I do not want to reach the next level.” Thats the seed for failure. Nothing in the universe is still. Everything is energy and energy is motion. You’re in motion. Are you going forward or backward?
