A story
is told of a hunter who, after a day's
work came home empty handed, find his twin-brother, a tent_dweller, with a
ravishing rabbit stew. Hungry as he was, he asked his brother for the meal and
his brother said, "you can have it
for a price", "what is the
price", asked the hunter drooling for the meal, "rabbit stew, right now, for your place as
first born son".
Without
hesitation, driven by the pain of his hunger, he asked, "where
do I sign?" and he sold his birthright (his inheritance and bright
future) for a single_meal.
I tell
this story to illustrate this one very crucial point; we all have short_term needs (and wants) and long_term
goals. The trouble comes when we
sacrifice the long-term goals at the altar of the short-term needs.
What I mean
is this, you want to save_money for
that business capital, buy a house, go
back to college but for you to save money, you have to go without your
''usual'' eatery and dressy. Can you handle that? Save money or spend money to
keep up your "image", short-term needs (wants rather) versus long
term-goals (desire|dream)?
You work
9 – 5/6D a week but aspire to become entrepreneur,
to do that you will have to cut down on your 9 – 5 or steal away some family, resting or God time in
order to invest on the future you so desperately desire. Continue with
employment, to satisfy your short-term needs (wants rather) over the long-term
goals (desire|dream)?
Many of
us have chosen to continue satisfying the short-term needs, praying and HOPING somehow God, Universe (or rich Uncle)
will take care of our long-term goals. I am here to burst your bubble, unless YOU
change, nothing WILL change for you; unless YOU INVEST in the future you desire, it will never come.
What we sow – we reap, likewise, what we reap – we have sown in the past. Look at
your TODAY, it is the result of what
you INVESTED YESTERDAY. if you don't
like what you have today, DO SOMETHING with your TODAY.PRESENT so that you can have a DESIRED TOMORROW.
Sow
laziness and unpreparedness, ignorance and lay-backness – you reap poverty and
backwardness. Sow diligence, preparedness, knowledge and pro-activeness, spend
well your time and money – reap wealth, long happy life - DreamLife.
