Anybody who knows me knows that I am a big fan of all the Rocky movies. I believe that within all of us lies that desire to be the underdog who comes out on top. It takes time, takes many hours of training, but in the end through pure will and determination, the underdog always wins, at least he does in the movies.
Unfortunately life is not the movies. Between struggling to make ends meet, putting food on the table and wondering how to pay for school clothes, most of us are underdog in the rat race. We work our jobs, collect our pay, get a measley two weeks of vacation a year only to find out that whenever you go to climb the ladder up, there is still a butt in front of your face.
This where the whiner in all of us takes over. I have heard all the excuses. I'm not rich enough, not smart enough, nobody will hire me and so on and so forth. It gets old but the whiner doesn't care. He just wants more people to join him in the pity party. The more people who feel sorry with him and for him, the better he feels about himself, but he doesn't really care for you. As soon as you get on the upswing, the whiner wants to knock you back down.
The winner though chooses to look at the odds in his favor no matter what the stakes are. In fact I think Donald Trump said it best when he said"Success is on the dark-side of failure." In other words, you need to learn how to fail in order to be a success. So the winner takes a shot at everything he can in order to make it big. He understands that he only has one shot to make it work.
So friend what about you? Are you willing to give it all you got? Almost ten years ago to the day I began studying what sets people apart in the realm of finances, spirituality and living a life they designed for themselves.
