Tell Your Son This Part 8
You know what you deserve, it’s on you to go get it
It requires sacrifice
It requires discipline
It requires resilience
It requires you fighting self doubt
Quieting in the voices in your head
Removing the self pity
Growth & comfort don’t go together
Never have, never will
You with a Bible:
"Well it was written by man, and rewritten a bunch of times, how do we know it's true?"
You with any other book:
"Well this smart guy wrote it, and this is the newest edition, so it's obviously true"
Being Comfortable should make you feel Uncomfortable
Some point out this country’s flaws
And do something to make it better
Others point out those flaws
And do nothing but complain
The same is usually true in regard to their own lives
Loyalty:
A true sign of a persons character
When the bullets are flying
You'll find out who is loyal to you, and in it to the end
You'll also see who was just there for the good times and benefits to them
I'd rather die with my loyalty
Than live as a traitor
You’re too Comfortable:
Comfort’s easy to get wrapped up in
But hard to get away from
Never get comfortable
Always WANT to do & be more
Stay out of your comfort zone
Stop whining about difficulty
Stop wishing things were given to you
You’ll make headway towards Greatness
Impressive:
The early bird gets the worm
More impressive:
The early bird invests time in the worm
Studies the worm
Learns its patterns
Uses it to attract more worms
Invests time in those worms
Rinses and repeats
Moral of the story:
Let your "worms" work for you
Broke people giving financial advice
Is like an obese person giving fitness advice
Don't tell me what you know, show me what you know
Everyone responds to experience in a different way.
Hot water reveals who is an egg and who is a potato.
When you work hard for your money
Giving some away consistently is the best way to ensure it doesn't control you
Two things you can do when you see someone showing off their brand new item:
Envy them for having it
Pity them for needing it
Just like the loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room
The richest looking one in the room is usually the brokest one in the room
You're not fooling anyone
