Hi EveryoneI'm currently reading Orison Swett Marden's book "How To Get What You Want" and I came across this paragraph that I had to share with all of you."It is the man you are capable of making, not the man you have become, that is most important to you. You cannot afford to carry this enormous asset to your grave unused. As a business man you would not think of having a lot of idle capital in the bank, drawing no interest, uninvested, unused.
Do you realize that this is exactly what you are doing to yourself? You have assets within you that are infinitely more valuable than money capital. Why do you not use your capital? This is what you would ask a business man who was pinching along, worried all the time because he thought that he could not meet his obligations, pay his notes, when he had a large amount of idle capital in the bank. You would declare the man was foolish.
You are more foolish because you have immortal capital lying idle. Why don't you use it? Why do you hitch along in this little one-horse way all your life when you have so much unused capital, so much reserve assets? Why not use them?" Orisson Swett Marden How To Get What You Want
What a powerful lesson for us all. I think so many people spend their lives that way. How sad to come to the end of your life and realize that you had the power within you to live the life of your dreams, but you squandered it and settled for crumbs when you could have had the feast.
