Doing it now

There is no reason for being poor, accept choice. Someone recently reminded me of this idea. It may seem a bit outrageous, particularly if you live in a part of the world where scarcity dominates people’s attention. This can’t be said for most of the western world. Abundance is obvious to all, even to those who have yet to share it. Is it an accident?

The idea expressed in the first line reminds me of a quote from Gustav Kaiser who wrote, “Success is voluntary”.

Just thinking about abundance won’t help much. You have to add some other ingredients - namely, action and persistence. High intelligence or even education is not necessary if you simply find out how someone else has achieved the results you want. Pick someone who started in a similar circumstance and with similar resources then find out what they did.

Modeling is something that we all did as children. We were very good at it. Learning how to walk and talk depended on it. Somewhere along the way, many of us, me included, seem to forget this innate ability.
