There's No Such Thing As Easy Street


Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
~Orison Swett Marden

      On any journey to success where the outcome is to magnify your income you are going to come across some dead ends, brick walls, and gigantic hurdles. These are all character building events which in turn make you stronger. You can never appreciate what you have managed to acquire if it comes to you easily. If getting rich was easy and the process was smooth sailing it would be where 97% of the world was wealthy and only 3% were poor. But in reality it is the other way around and do you know why? Because only 3 out of every 100 people make the choice to do what’s necessary, fight the odds, go toe to toe with opposition and persevere. The other 97 people make the choice to do what’s necessary but once those road blocks begin to pop up, they loose momentum, they loose faith and most importantly they loose sight of the dream that once propelled them. Yes, it’s true that you reap what you sow, and in this day in age everybody wants to enjoy the fruits of the harvest but nobody wants to plow the fields, plant the seeds, then water and nurture them till growth. Don’t be a prisoner of your own bad habits. If you put in 10% you’re only going to get 10%, if you put in 100% you will gladly get back 100%. That’s all it really takes. The road to riches is full of pot holes and detours that are placed there simply to deter you but not to stop you. Let your faith ride shotgun while will and determination hang out in the back seat. These passengers in your vehicle will help you navigate the treacherous roads ahead, just trust them, they’ll always have your best interest at heart. Remember, a speed bump will never stop you completely from entering the parking lot and finding your parking space.
Drive safely Guys!
