Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.
Formal education is standard, structured and systematic education. If is what you learn is schools and colleges. There is nothing wrong with formal education. But it is designed to get you a job or make you financially free or mentally strong. If is designed to keep you part of the system. There are limits to how far you can go with formal education. It is for people who want limited rick and not much responsibility. Self- education knows no limits and that is why it has the potential to make you fortune.
Self-education can not only make you a fortune, it can also make you fulfilled because it gives you the choice to educate yourself on things that will enhance the quality of your life.
Think of all the greatest entrepreneurs of today and in history, these are all likely formally educated as well, but for all successful people, self-education never ends, not after school, not after success or failure.
Life is the classroom and the only goal is to learn and to grow every day. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is not what you get. The major value is life is what you become.
The major question to ask is not what am I getting here, the major question to ask is what I am becoming here. It is never the material success that gives us the most value. It is the self-pride that comes when you extend yourself. It is not the money or the house that will bring you the joy. It is the pride in knowing you’re earned the money and the home that is where the value is.
If you do not design your own life plan, changes are you will fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much. If you are waiting for others to hand you successes, you will be waiting with your hand out until your dying day. If you want anything in life, the responsibility falls on only one person and that person is you.
No one owes you anything. If you want it, you must plan for it. If you want it, you must suffice for it. If you want it, you must work for it. Do not wait for anyone to give you a handout or a magic map to achieve the life you want. You have to educate and execute your own life plan to live the life you want to live. You cannot change your destination oversight, but you can change your direction overnight. Nothing worthwhile is built over night.
You can decide in an instant that your life will change and if you keep that promise to yourself that could be the moment everything does change. You can decide enough is enough. You can decide no more. You can decide from this moment if only takes a moment. If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
Life is a risk. It is a risk to turn down a safe job to go after dreams. The risk is failure. The risk is embarrassment. The risk is suffering. But perhaps a greater risk is taking the option that will almost certainly lead to regret down the track. Regret is almost guaranteed, when you choose an easy option that is far less than you potential or less than the quality of life you dreamed for yourself. I guess it is pretty obvious that every great success story on this earth was a great risk taker.
There is nothing magical or mysterious about success, it is pretty straight forward. If is the consistency that bring success, not the magic. There is no secret, just keep shoeing up every day, improving, growing and adding value an eventually you will be rewarded.
Rewards can only following great risks. You cannot win the raffle unless you have a ticket and in the game of success the ticket is rick, putting your fears and speculation on the line, knowing there is possibility of failure and being brace enough to try anyway.
If you want to change, take responsibility for where you are and trust. You have the capabilities to learn and grow enough to get where you want to go. Either you run the day or the day runs you.
Do not say, if I could, I would. Say If I can, I will, when it comes to how we live our lives. All of us have two choices. We can choose to take control of the day, get on the front foot and believe, we can change our reality or we can be at the mercy of circumstance, believing we can only respond to reality.
Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
Success is nothing more than a few supple disciplines, practiced very day. Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment. For every discipline effort there is a multiple reward.
Mentality is everything. You really do decide, how reality is reserved to you. We must all suffer one of two things, the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
Great people. Happy people and successful people take control of the day. They take control of each momenta try to create a better next moment in each and every action they take.
