Do you haverepparttar courage to ignorerepparttar 122885 experts? Do you haverepparttar 122886 willingness and ability to understand and userepparttar 122887 power that is within you? Courage is that state of mind when you do something that you know is right for you and your loved ones andrepparttar 122888 rest ofrepparttar 122889 world thinks you’re mad. The ability to makerepparttar 122890 decision and then make it happen. Courage is not progressing through life with gay abandon, ignoring allrepparttar 122891 fears. Quiterepparttar 122892 contrary. Courage is an understanding of fear. An understanding of what to fear and what not to fear. Courage isrepparttar 122893 ability to challenge what is deemed to be common sense.

The world will constantly knockrepparttar 122894 courageous because they want mediocrity. They want mediocre players and people. People who don’t rockrepparttar 122895 boat. People who do what they are told. People who willingly stay withinrepparttar 122896 rules even though they know they are causing harm to others.

Pause for a moment. Just think . Does it take courage to makerepparttar 122897 latest technology go faster, make it bigger, more complex thanrepparttar 122898 last edition? Does it take courage to add to what already exists? For us, courage is shown by those who fight for something new. Follow their dream and seerepparttar 122899 benefit of going inrepparttar 122900 opposite direction.

The question is do you haverepparttar 122901 courage to do what you want? To touch your potential. Do you haverepparttar 122902 courage to speak out for what you believe in? Do you haverepparttar 122903 courage to go for it? Remember when you were a child. Were you curious? Were you a risk taker then? No doubt you had lots of courage when you were a child. You did many things based on a focus and no evidence. As a child no doubt you trustedrepparttar 122904 processes of life. So what’s different now?

If you are now feeling a huge resistance to going forward to naming your aim and objective, to realising your potential. Don’t worry it’s normal. The resistance is a normal way of moving forward. It’s your natural brake that is saying hang on a minute lets have another look at this. Every time you meet resistance within yourself or others it means you are growing because only as you start to think and state something outside your box do you encounter opposition. So don’t be discouraged and write yourself off. Stay with it.

You see,repparttar 122905 feeling of fear and not following your beliefs was no doubt planted in your childhood. The time when you were told that you ought to value money. That you ought to save. You need to be careful, you need to have heroes and follow others. Perhaps instead we should have been taught to respect money but to be generous with it rather than be thrifty. Perhaps we should have been taught to go for our dreams rather than settle for security. As Andrea Dworkin,repparttar 122906 feminist and civil rights activist, stated in one of her speeches:

If you really want to become rich, then begin by evaluating your work habits and work environment. That's how most millionaires made their first offline million.

According to Dr. Srully Blotnick, a psychologist and consultant who spent over 20 years studying how people became rich, most millionaires didn't make their money in real estate,repparttar 122885 stock market, or waiting for their ship to come in.

They made theirs, instead, through their business or profession. They became so good at their job that they made quite a bit of money. Then, and only then, did they turn to real estate and stocks as sites to invest and grow their money. Even then, their basic business continued to producerepparttar 122886 bulk of their gains; their investments usually produced only mediocre results by comparison.

There's a monumentally important lesson to be learned fromrepparttar 122887 hundreds of millionaires that Dr. Blotnick studied for 20 years. The lesson is this: If you really want to become rich, invest in yourself first; invest in real estate, stocks, and other ventures later. Dr. Blotnick divided this into two stages:

· The first takes place when you're consumed by a business or profession that you enjoy so much that you would do it for nothing. Devloprepparttar 122888 passion.

· After it pays you enough income, you enterrepparttar 122889 second stage. This is when you become a bona fide investor. You start thinking of and looking for opportunities to use your surplus income.

To set yourself and your career on track, evaluate yourself by answering these questions about:

> liking your work: · How much do I really like my job? · Does my job bring outrepparttar 122890 best in me? · Has it caused me to do more than I ever thought I could do? If you answered any of these questions inrepparttar 122891 negative, consider a job or career change.

> determining if your work is right for you:

· How can I tell if I really like my work? · How do I know if I'm doing my work right? · How do I know if I'm doingrepparttar 122892 right kind of work?
