The amazingly remarkable Jim Rohn once said something to the effect that if you ever win a million dollars, I hope you become a millionaire fast, or you’ll lose the money.
I am sure you have heard stories of people winning a lottery and then in a very short period of time lose it all. It is because a Million Dollars doesn’t make you a millionaire. A millionaire thinks differently than a broke or poor person.
After a year and a half of blogging, I realized that the reason I am no more closer to my dream than when I first started is because I am no different than I was a year and half ago, specially in terms of personal growth.
While that statement may not be 100% true, it is very true that I have not grown much in terms of living my dream.
I can sit here and talk about my weaknesses and how others who started about the same time as I have gone way ahead of me, as I have done before, or I can focus on the whatever growth I have accomplished. I choose to focus on the later and that in itself is growth and progress.
Also, just this week I took some action to compensate for slow down in my income due to season slow down in my industry. Though I waited linger than I should have, it beats not taking any action, as was the case in the past, and then struggling to catch up when the business starts to pick up.
Einstein defined insanity as doing the same things and expecting different results. I have been insane for too long. It is time regain my sanity and I am already making strides.
How about you? Are you growing personally in the direction of your dreams, or are you being insane? I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
