All You Want is Within Your Reach
If there is one thing that I believe with all my heart it is that you canhave any life you choose to. You can live the life you have always dreamedof. We live in a period of unparalleled opportunity in human history. Thinkabout it: Just one hundred years ago, most people really only had five orsix options when it came to deciding what they would do with their lives.For most, they didn't even have the knowledge that they could do anythingother than take over their father's farm when they turned eighteen! But today a person living in the western world (and many other areas of theworld as well) can choose to do virtually anything they want to! They key isthe word "choose." You see, the world is within your reach. Any job you want can be yours ifyou decide. All of the opportunities are there for the taking. The questionis whether or not you will take. You say, "But Chris, you just don't understand. I'm thirty-eight years oldwith two kids and I have bills to pay. I make $28,000 a year. I can't justgo become a doctor and make big money!" And I say, "Yes you can! If you decide to. If you will take action you canbecome a doctor or anything else you want to. We live in a day and age whenvirtually anything is possible." For the sake of highlighting this principle, let's look at the aboveexample. How would this person change careers? Simple. Here is the process in specific action steps: 1. Find out from a medical school what classes you would need to take to getin. Chances are your college major would need some rounding out or if youdidn't go to college, you would need to do so. Maximum time to do this: 3days. 2. Now, go to school. Maximum time to do this: 4 years. 3. Now, medical school and residency. Maximum time to do this: 6 years. 4. Begin practicing medicine. At this point you would be forty-eight years old. That leaves you seventeenyears to practice. Now let's see the impact it has on your life: 1. You get to pursue your dream, making you and your family MUCH happier. 2. You will make, on average, $100,000 more per year. The difference here ismanifold! If you stayed where you were, you would have earned $28,000 a yearfor twenty-seven years and would earn $756,000. If you left and pursued yourdream you would earn $128,000 for seventeen years (That's if you took tenyears to make the transition. Most would be less.) and you earnings would be$2,176,000! This is a difference of $1,420,000! And this doesn't even takeinto consideration the amounts you would earn on investments on thedifference in incomes. So is it possible? Yes. Does it take time? Yes. Is it hard? Yes. Is itscary? Yes, and that is why most people won't do it. It isn't for lack of opportunity. It is usually because of one of thefollowing: Lack of vision. The truth is that you can do anything you want to. Stop telling yourselfexcuses! Go to battle against a lack of vision! Pick yourself up and gettenacious! Look fear in the face and stand up to it! Your whole life dependson it, my friend! The choice is yours. Will you continue to limp along in life because you don't have the courage to run for your dream? Will you continue to allow thefear of poverty keep you from pursuing the riches, both materially andemotionally, that lay within the vision you have of what your life could be? You CAN live the life you have always dreamed of. All you want is withinyour reach. But to pick it up, you must first empty your hands of what theyalready hold. Then you must reach for it, take a hold of it, and possess it!
