Learning to Create faster than we Consume
One of the wealthiest men that I have met owns a pawn shop. He buys and sells second hand items that people don't want or cannot afford any more. From lowly 'junk' he earns more than most of us could imagine. One of my mentors, Bob Proctor, was a fireman in Toronto, Canada without a high school education when he discovered that he could mop floors as well as anyone. He got janitor jobs on the side and after a few years was the head of his own international janitorial company and making a fortune.
The lesson here is not that you can only get rich by doing something considered 'lowly' - plenty of people get rich discovering gold and oil also. The lesson is to discover the skill or passion or talent that you have and love, and work it every day to the best of your abilities. It matters little what the skill is - the important thing is that you are passionate about it. If you are passionate about it, you can learn how to do it better than anyone around you, and you can learn how to create value for others that they will be happy to pay you for. You don't need to cheat anyone . . . you don't need to con anyone . . . you don't need to deceive anyone.
The skills and talents that you can develop by following your passion are much more valuable than you could ever imagine. And take it from an old fart who learned this very late in life and wishes that someone had taught him these truths when he was much younger . . . if you are not taking steps towards your passion every day . . . Sheesh . . . if you haven't even sat quietly and asked yourself what your life passion is, and waited quietly for the answer . . . you are cheating yourself and everyone around you out of abundant spiritual peace, monetary wealth, and physical health that are there for the taking. Just watch Grandpa in this movie, and read between the lines. Pop a big bowl of white kernel popcorn with plenty of warm melted butter drizzled over it and enjoy the show.
