It seems to us that in a year we will do more than we actually can, but we do not think how much we can do in 10 years. For really dramatic changes in life, you need to change at different levels: psychological, physical, social, intellectual, financial. At first, the growth will not seem to be visible. But then there will be a rapid jump, like a detonation.
It's like growing bamboo. The bamboo seed remains in the ground for 4 years. At this time, it is watered every day. After 4 years, the shoots appear and in just 90 days they grow up to 20 meters. All the time the gardener does not know whether the result will be, whether the seeds are alive or not.
So when changing oneself as a person, gaining wealth requires daily activities, the fulfillment of plans, actions according to the system, visualization of dreams, in short, everything that is taught to us at business seminars and that does not seem to work for a long time.
Throughout this period, it is very important to adhere to the chosen path, not allowing anyone to convince themselves to return to their previous life.
Miracles won't happen if you don't take risks. A great fortune cannot be created without risk. Bullfighters know that there is no great merit in going out against the bull when it’s not scary, or not going out when it’s scary. But if you are afraid and walk, it already means something.
The same truth, but in different words, was expressed by one wise wealthy man: "I realized that everything really standing in life before me scared to death."
If the next step is not at all scary for you, then this means that it means little to you and will bring little benefit.
What activities do you think are vital and truly worthwhile? When you do what you are used to, and everyone admires, or when you struggle with all your might, and no one notices it? What will be truly great?
You can gauge how willing to take risks by reading the following sayings.
1. A familiar path can be no less risky than a new and unfamiliar one.
2. A risk-free person never wins.
3. There are no events on earth that are 100 percent safe.
4. Everything must be done as quickly as possible, because it is impossible to prepare for great success ever.
5. Only a person who does nothing makes mistakes.
6. Uncertainty is always scary.
7. Risk has a cost, but it is less than the cost of inaction.
8. If you are afraid to lose, do not expect to win.
9. Take risks boldly.
10. There is nowhere to fall from the bottom.
11. To change the world around you, you need to change yourself.
Any change is fraught with risk, as it forces you to get out of the familiar environment. You can only develop outside your comfort zone. Each problem solved must be replaced with another, which is even more difficult.
Capital acquired in 20 years can be acquired in 7 years, but you have to take the risk.
