A Lonely Road For Opportunity Seekers
Like many of us in the "opportunity niche", we know we are going
to make it. We know that it is just a matter of time before we
use the right combination of the right ingredients in the right
recipe to complete our life long quest for success. To a
fortunate few the quest is a short road but if you are like most
of us, you have spent countless hours studying the work of
others, spent hundreds and even thousands of dollars on
information, books, e-books, and programs, tried and failed and
tried and failed again.
Unfortunately, that is the easy part. The hard part is trying to
convince our friends and loved ones that we are headed in the
right direction with statements like "its going to work this
time," "I realize what went wrong with the last one" to "you'll
see" or I'll show you." You have probably heard things like "why
don't you start focusing on your job?" "Stop wasting your
time!," "if it were that easy everyone would be doing it", to
"when are you going to give it up?" or simply "It'll never
work!"
Yet we keep on pushing forward never losing sight of our dreams
and ignoring the pessimism of our loved ones and friends. If you
are like me you have realized it is not their fault. You have
realized or will realize that you were fortunate enough to be
giving a gift. A gift that allows you the ability to see things
that are not yet there and to keep reaching no matter how many
times you get beaten down and stomped on by your own inability
to make that what you see work.
There's good news! When you finally make it, as I feel I have,
you won't be lonely anymore. All of the people in your life that
never had anything positive to say will start saying things like
"I knew you could do it" or "I had faith in you the whole time"
or "are you hiring?" And if your wife is anything like mine,
instead of saying things like "What did you do with all the
money you a-hole" she'll now say things like "yes dear!" or a
simple "I love you" more often than ever before. You'll start
hearing her brag to her friends about you when she talks on the
phone! It almost makes making a years salary in a month seem
irrelevant (almost). Anyway, my point is that no matter how
lonely it may seem at times if you don't lose your vision you
will be embraced by the ones who have fought you the whole time
when you finally do succeed. And if it makes you feel any better
there are literally thousands of people out there going through
exactly what we have/are going through. So in a sense we are
never alone the whole time.
Never lose sight of your dreams and never stop your quest for
the knowledge that will eventually free your soul no matter how
lonely you may seem to be! Good Luck.
