Wealth or success is not a right or automatic process.
There is a saying that “Starting is the hardest part”.
In contrast, in wealth creation, starting is quite an easy process. We always wonder why a high percentage of people never get around to making a real start. A “pretend start” is self-deception and doesn’t pass the test.
Humans are wired for instant gratification. Accordingly many people overlook the present need to plant the seeds that will ripen and become their financial future, comfort and wealth.
Robert Louis Stevenson said:
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant”.
David Meltzer said:
“Every overnight success is only 17.5 years away”.
You have to start the journey in order to achieve a certain end result.
To dance on and on in the twilight is to leave your success forever in the future.
