Seeing all their big income pics? Incredible lifestyles? Their smiling faces 24/7/365? When you’re researching a new opportunity or are looking at the ads displayed across the Internet. Usually, you’re met only with people’s gurus and experts successes. The good life they are living. The big commission checks they are bringing in. The sports cars. The nice homes and the beach vacations. The smiling faces of all those around them. All that’s great and all. Can help to motivate you and see what’s possible.
However, I think it may be important to also see that we don’t know much of anything of what’s going on beneath the surface. May not know if this person is on their 4th marriage because they’re a workaholic? Could be up their ears in debt? Or they could be happy happy rich free and doing what they love.
The point is, it doesn’t help us much to judge positive or negative because what they earn and how they live is out of our control. Is this making sense? I’m reminded of Seneca’s words: “Slavery often resides beneath marble and gold.” What we see on the surface can distract us from hitting our goals. That’s the purpose of today’s blog post. It gives us power.
We can now focus on Us, you and I. We know our terms, our wants and the life we want to be living. That’s all that should matter, right? I hope this helps.
