YOUR ATTITUDE on YOUR CHOICES

YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES BUILD WHO YOU ARE OVERTIME



 ``The sum of all your thoughts comprises your overall attitude.``

Your attitude colors every aspect of your choices.
It`s like the mind`s paintbrush.
Early in life, you don't have many choices. 
You don't choose where and when you are born.
You don't choose where and when you are born.
You don't choose your parents.
You don't choose your race, your personality type, genetic makeup.
You don't choose your health.
Everything you are and nearly everything you do is not up to you.
You must live with the conditions you find yourself in.

"You start with the cards you're dealt." - Voltaire


But the longer you live, the more your life is shaped by your choices.
You decide what you will eat.
You decide what toys to play with.
You decide whether you will do your homework or watch TV.
You choose which friends to spend time with.
You choose whether to finish high school, whether you will go to college, who you will marry, what you will do for a living.
The longer you live, the more choices you make - and the more responsible you are for how your life is turning out.

As time goes by, choices increases.

``Each man is questioned by LIFE, and he can only answer to LIFE by answering for his own LIFE; to LIFE he can only respond by being responsible.``

Excerpt taken from Og Mandino’s The Greatest Salesman in the World Part II The End of the Story Part 2

Continues…

Now I know that patience and time can do more than even strength and passion. The years of frustration
are ready to be harvested. All that I have managed to accomplish, and all that I hope to accomplish, has
been and will be by that plodding, patient, persevering process which builds the ant heap, particle by
particle, thought by thought, step by step.

Success, when it comes overnight, often departs with the dawn. I am prepared, now, for a lifetime of
happiness because I have finally recognized a powerful secret hidden in the years that treated me so
harshly. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, inasmuch as every discovery we make of what is
false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true and every fresh experience points out some form of
error which we shall afterward carefully avoid. The path I walked, often dampened by my tears, has not
been a wasted journey.

Excerpt taken from Og Mandino’s The Greatest Salesman in the World Part II The End of the Story Part 1

I was born to succeed, not fail.

I was born to triumph, not to bow my head in defeat.

I was born to toast victories, not to whimper and whine.

What happened to me? When did my dreams all fade into a grey mediocrity where average people
applaud each other as excellent?

No person is ever so much deceived by another, as by himself. The coward is convinced that he is only
being cautious and the miser always thinks he is practicing frugality. Nothing is so easy as to deceive
one’s self since what we wish is always easy to believe. No one, in my life, has deceived me as much as I
have.

Why do I always try to cover my small accomplishments under blankets of words that make light of my
work or excuses for my lack of ability? Worst of all, I have come to believe my excuses so that I willingly
sell my days for pennies while consoling myself with thoughts that things could always be worse.

No more!

It is time to study the reflection in my looking glass until I recognize that the most harmful enemy that I
have . . . is me. At last, in this magic moment with my first scroll, the veil of self-deceit is beginning to lift
from my eyes.

Preparedness

When opportunity knocks, you have to be ready just to answer, but to apply tons of effort to making your chance happen.

When you get your shot don't wait on someone else to pull the wagon. If you wait on people to pull your wagon they will all stand and look at the wagon with you.

"Be the change you want to see."

A DREAMER'S STRUGGLE


DREAM BIG, DON`T LIMIT YOURSELF!
DREAMERS` NEVER JUST DREAM, THEY FIND A VEHICLE FOR THEIR DREAMS. 


Continue to expand your dreams and desires in life, many people want more out of life but are not motivated enough to go out and get the job done no matter how long it takes and how tough it is. You may be lost how, where and why start something you don't even know yet.  The world never sleeps, so don't limit your dreams, and don't settle for less. You are selfish if you think your family, wife and kids wanted a lesser simple life. So, go out there, go all out, you may lose dollars but win by experience. You might fail and learn,  but use these failures to grow until you reached your desires for YOURSELF and your FAMILY.

Building My TIME MACHINE

TIME MACHINE PROJECT 

You would wonder if time machines do really exists and possible just like in the movies. For me its a YES and a NO.

Having one lets you control of your time. You could probably go to the past or the future, and I think it's a "Yes,"and possible to build in  the form of  Assets, building assets is building up your own time machine that lets you control of your future. Assets will give you residual income that will let you spend your time with your love ones that a job can`t offer. You won't have to work each day if you have accumulated a lot. It may sound greedy but I'd rather spend my time for my family and family to be rather than my job and profession, and of course not worrying any liabilities/expenses/bills at the end of the day.
And "No", because its science fiction and just my hyper thinking.

If money isn't a  problem, how would you feel and envision yourself - especially for hardworking dads, if you have ALL the time in the world to do everything you want, and spend the time to your family, and your kids everyday.

What`s the peace of mind and happiness you could get being with your family in a week, spending the days like Six Saturdays and a Sunday and not for your job? Go to where you wanna go, when you want to, and you love to. Sounds laziness for workaholics but isn't that more fun? You spend most of your TIME w/ your love ones rather for your boss who earns 10x off of you and still you aren't compensated.
 

"99% think that money is the root of all evil."- yet they have a job to have money.

"1% think that poverty is the root of all evil. "- because of poverty you will need money to buy your necessities (food/water).

In a family man's perspective, would you leave your family during the nights, or even go on  distant job sites to work and earn the highest salary you could, but in exchange, you have to leave your family, let's say your working 80hours a week. Would it be nice if that 80 hours of your time be spent with your families and love ones, not worrying of  money if you only have that asset that will cover the daily necessities?

I don`t despise the job world because we all need a job, in order to pay bills and our needs that keeps on piling up at the end of the month. But have a job especially during day around 9am-5pm then start building assets at 5-11pm. 5 years after that compare: What would you think your assets do for you that your job can't? You might lose more money but it will gonna be worthwhile in experience, success and time for your love ones.
