| Life is like a
store... ...a store with really good security. Here's how: You can have anything you want, if you have what it takes to get it. Unless you pay in advance, you go home empty handed. You have to take all the little steps. Nobody will pick items or pay for you. There are so many things to choose from. Stealing is not an option. Some things require more planning, effort and dedication. If you don't know what you want, you won't get anything. The breakdown... You can have anything you want, if you have what it takes to get it. At any store, you can have anything there if you have the means to get it. If you have enough money and a way to get it home, any item there is yours for the asking. At the store, a set price is the means - if you have enough money, you're all set. In life, the price is not so clearly marked - but there is always a price and it must always be paid in advance. Just like going to the store, there is effort required and you'll need to know what you want. A series of small steps will get you exactly what you want at the store (and in life) if you know the steps and take them. Unless you pay in advance, you go home empty handed. You can pick dozens of items in a store, but unless you pay for them, you'll leave with nothing. You can sit at home and want things for the rest of your life - but unless you fully pay for something, you can never actually have it. In life it is important to choose the things you want, to create plans to obtain these things and take all the effort required to earn these things - paying for them in full and giving you the right to have them. Anything you can dream up will require a plan and plenty of effort on your part. This is where so many people go wrong - it's so easy for people to say they want things, but that's as far as it goes. People often unrealistically expect things just because they want them and plenty of unhappiness follows, things seem so wrong, it appears we have less and less every day because our focus is on lack too often. If you want something bad enough to say it several times, why not make a plan and go out and earn it? Pay in advance with your planning and effort over time and get those things you want! You have to take all the little steps. It's not very hard to go shopping, but without taking all of the small simple steps required, nobody can realistically expect to get those things. What are the small steps? You'll need to get to the store, pick the things you want, pay for them and get yourself back home with the items. That's it, right? Right. But without every one of those steps, in that order, nothing gets done. Just like with everything else, there are a series of small, simple steps which when done correctly in a certain order provide very specific results. This is how life works, all ideas are useless without ACTION. Nobody will pick items or pay for you. It has already been mentioned that payment is due in advance and that's true. It is equally important to note that every person is responsible for paying their own way and choosing their own paths. It is your responsibility and right to make your own decisions and live your own life. Not happy with the way things are? Choose something else. There are so many things to choose from. We all have the same things available to us - 24 hours in every day, seven days in a week and the ability to become, accomplish and achieve virtually anything you can think of. The choices available to us are almost unlimited! You can think anything you want to think at any time, you can choose something different for yourself during every second of every day. Everything starts from our thoughts, make it a point to think your own thoughts, on purpose, every chance you get. Stealing is not an option. As mentioned at the top of the page, security at this store is outstanding. People who attempt to steal and get something for nothing, fail, every single time. We have no right to anything earned or created by someone else unless it is given to us or earned. Stealing is a weak act of ignorance done by people with no sense of self worth. No self respecting person would attempt to get by on the back of another person. People who are right in doing for themselves always have more than those who don't in physical, monetary and mental ways of confidence, self respect, strength and capability - because the more you do, the more you are capable of doing. Some things require more planning, effort and dedication. Some things are small, cheap, and easy to obtain. Other things are huge and require more planning, effort and dedication - the price of time must also be paid. These are the times that test us and we soon find out just how much we want things. Is this big thing worth waiting for? Is it worth all the additional saving, planning and effort required? Are you dedicated to continued effort and focus for as long as it takes? If you don't know what you want, you won't get anything. It takes specific vision to come home with something from the store whether we realize it or not. Think of your average grocery store cereal isle, there are so many choices! The truth is both in the cereal isle and in life itself, if you don't pick what you want, you leave empty handed. If in advance you know you want Cheerios, you go to that isle, find them, pay and you're all set. The same is true for everything else - choose what you want, pay for it and it's yours! |
You can do anything!
