Why Not You

The other day I asked a young senior in high school if I told her that she could be making 1 million dollars a year in fifteen years would she believe it. She said NO. Then I asked her What if I said you could be making i million dollars a year in fifteen years but it would cost you $100,000 to do it, would you spend the money. Guess what, she said no again. The reason for her responses is simple. Many people cannot fathom themselves making that kind of money. They have difficulty getting their mind around a dollar amount that large. So they cannot imagine that as an annual income. But they can imagine $100,000 which in many cases is two years income or maybe more. And they would be reluctant to spend two years income on something they see as having an unreasonable outcome. There is a common apprehension to envisioning ourselves as earning a million dollars. But instead of saying Not Me, that would be impossible. We should be asking ourselves, Why NOT ME? Are we undeserving? Do we feel we just do not deserve to have that type of income? Are we not as significant as the next person? Couldn't we be responsible in managing that size of an income? So let's not keep traveling down that same path of "Not Me" and start working on our new path. The path that was promised to us. That's right your prosperity was promised to you. All you have to do is step up to the table and accept it. Your best path is waiting for you!
