Grapesofraft, I totally agree.
The most successful person I have ever known made his first million before he was 11. He dropped out of High School at the age of 14 when he cleared
10 million. By the time he was 21 he lost it all.
He had a friendly competition going on with another mutual friend of mine who went through the same thing. He was a self-made millionaire in his
youth, made bank in his teenage years, and lost it all, his own company taken over and he was ousted by the Board of Directors.
Do you know what both of them did after each of them hit rock bottom?
They built it all up and started it over again.
The first friend has made himself a millionaire, lost it all and reclaimed that life again 6 times. The second friend is going through his fifth time
right now (his Board of Directors ousted him from his own company yet again, this time they did it while he was on the ISS). Each and every time it
gets easier and easier for them to do climb right back up to where they once were and to climb even higher than ever before.
You can blame people and complain as much as you like, but if you aren't doing something proactive about the position your life is in then you
aren't going to get much of anywhere other than bitter while trying to placate the blame to someone else.
Those who are successful in any field, whether Finance, Technology, the Arts, Homemakers, Parents, or just plain old Happiness, are people who learn
from their mistakes and aren't afraid to keep dreaming and keep on trying over and over and over, no matter how many times it takes. Those who want
who have not and have no desire to try, are the ones pointing fingers at TPTB.
To everyone else pointing their finger at "Them" or TPTB...
No one controls you and no one is responsible for your life being the way it is. You make choices and you must live with the results of those choices,
whether you like it or not. If you make your bed, then you have to sleep in it. No one in Washington, nor the Mainstream Media, nor the Shadow
Governments, nor the NWO, nor the Aliens, nor the Jews or the Illuminati is responsible for your life and where you are today.
You and only you are responsible for your life, freedom and happiness. No one is denying you any of these things but yourself!
Free your Mind and your A** will follow!
Actually It reminds me of that KMFDM song Dogma
