What would you do if you were rich and powerful?
Several minutes ago, i was kicking back in a recliner, staring at the celling and thinking. Or rather, questioning. Trying to find that one thing that's holding me back, keeping me from reaching my full potential. Dammit, another 20-year-old entrepreneur i know co-owns a company that pulls .5 million USD in profits monthly. I could sit here all day making up excuses as to why my financial statement can't compare to his, but the truth is that he simply works harder.
He's got no family, no one to depend on, so if he stops working, he starves. So that's all the motivation he needs and reason enough for him to keep working hard. And that's exactly what's holding me back. I lack that desire, that desparate need to succeed. The shark pond underneath my feet if you will. That's because all along, my goels were focused on luxuries, not necessities. And while a huge house or a fast car would be great things to have, they're not exactly goals that will truly motivate you and keep you awake at night, trying to come up with that next brilliant move that will skyrocket you far above the clouds.
So i need to make those goals secondary to (but NECESSARY for) the achievment of some grand, primary goal. And that primary goal's gotta be something truly extraordinary that would require colossal amounts of money and power to pull off. And something that could truly make a difference in the lives of many. Then i would have something to work towards in the years to come, and since it would require so much money and power to achieve, a NECESSITY for those things would be created in my mind, therefore allowing me to attain them. So close your eyes and imagine what you would do, not for yourself, but for others or the world as a whole if only you were rich and powerful. Got it? NOW TELL ME!
