When I decided to change who I was. When I decided to get into real estate, to become an investor. My fiends and family told me I was crazy. To become rich from simple roots requires courage and conviction. To become rich requires fortitude and to quote Napoleon Hill, it requires definiteness of purpose.
To date I have seen the crab pot in many areas of business and life. It happens because, as we are part of nature –we gather. At a small level this is what plasma is. Plasma is a collection of charged particles that respond strongly and collectively to electromagnetic fields.
Those charged particles are independent but they act collectively. The same thing happens in a group of friends, when one person crosses their hands and then the entire group starts to follow.
This also happens in businesses, industries, cities, and economies.
To become rich in crab pot that isn’t rich. You must not do or think as other crabs. Go to dinner alone. Develop a vision. Focus on a horizon. Make a plan that’s blue printed from the truly successful.
Lucky for you, you are not a crab. Knowing this you can change pots so to speak.
Those that question the rich are faint of heart. They listen to the crabs in their pot. And instead of choosing to be happy with who they are, they become bitter. Instead of being accountable they blame those in power.
The rich didn’t get it for free. If you want change in your home, in your friends, in your city -on the planet. You must cultivate a new vision. It lives inside you. STOP listening to the outside world and breathe. Breathe in your inner voice. Follow it to what you want.
This takes courage. You will be called crazy: by your family, by your friends. You will be defeated. And have to get up, try again. You will find hope, only to have it crushed. You will touch the stratosphere, then come crashing to earth.
Only this will bring you the fortitude to get up. Only this will remind you of your definiteness of purpose. If you want to be rich, it is not free.
You may decide it’s easier to blame the rich for what you do not have, to DEFY the foundation of our country and your own liberty, because it feels good to be apart of something.
And so your liberty will be taken -because YOU give it away. POWER lives inside you and is given as freely as you show up to have it.
