RE: Rewiring Your Brain for Fun and Profit - The Fallacy of Self-Help

in #self-help8 years ago

Everyone has courage; the difference is in what they apply it to. Soldiers in Iraq are not generally rich. Mothers of children with Leukemia are not generally rich. Donald Trump is very rich.
The difference in being apparently successful to others, that is, in being financially successful, is that you need to place the acquisition of wealth as your highest priority in life. If money is what you want, then money is what you will get, because money is what you will put your energy into. If you have other goals in life - helping the poor, the less fortunate, saving the rainforest, starting a family, what have you - then those are the areas in which you will express your courage and find success.
I do agree, however, that action is required. And action requires the overcoming of resistance to change.

Sort:  

Becoming an order follower isn't courage, it's going with the herd, these people are as fearful as they come.
Courage is stepping out of the herd, going into the unknown, following your own path, as you say overcoming the resistance to change.
