Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!What one person can do, another person can do. I am sure that you have heard of Andrew Carnegie, he became a multi-millionaire in the steel business in the late 1800’s. Carnegie was born dirt poor in Scotland, his family came to this country with hopes of a better life. At the age of 13 he had to go to work to help support his family, he had very little schooling. However, he worked his way out of poverty to become the second richest man in the country, just behind John D. Rockefeller. Once he became rich, he was known to help his family and friends, the ones that never became anything more than they were born into. His first job at age 13, he was paid 4 cents an hour, by the time he died, he had given away over 150 million dollars. However, what made him reach the top of the heap, while those around him stayed poor? It was dissatisfaction.
If you have been poor for the past 5 years, but you have been trying not to be, then obviously what you are doing is not working. Poor people are poor because of the way they think, their attitudes, their actions, their outlook on life and their belief system. Just like the rich people are rich for the same reasons. Nobody holds anyone back in this country, this is America, it is still the land of opportunity. If you have enough dissatisfaction in your life, you can make it.
The dictionary states the meaning of dissatisfaction as: A longing for something better than the present situation. When you develop that longing for something better and are willing to make sacrifices and even sometimes make a fool out of yourself, but not caring what the people around you think, then and only then, you will be on the road to success. Andrew Carnegie would come home after working a 12 hour day, he would look at the way his family had to live, at that moment he vowed that he would not live like that for the rest of his life and proceeded to make himself a multi-millionaire, dissatisfaction.
When I lost my mortgage business at the age of 56, along with everything else I owned, I could have taken the easy way out. I could have said, this is the hand that God dealt me and just get a job at Walmart and have been a greeter for the rest of my life, but that is not what I wanted. When I decided to start an Inter-Net business, even though I knew nothing about it, I worked on the computer 6 – 9 hours a day for months, not because it was fun, as a matter of fact it was probably the most frustrating and aggravating period in my life. However, because of my dissatisfaction with my life and wanting to raise myself up from where I was, and believe me I was one step from living under a bridge.
If you have that dissatisfaction, with a burning desire to succeed, along with a positive mental attitude and persistence, then you cannot help but succeed in life. Sounds easy, but it is not. Just like the old saying, anything worth having, is worth working for.
