Listen “UP” an Important Lesson

Shilpi and I are getting ready to fly to Houston tomorrow morning. Shilpi’s best friend is getting married.

I’ll be hanging out at the in laws, meeting some friends, and enjoying some tex mex and barbeque. YUM!

And my mother in law is also an AWESOME cook (not to say Shilpi isn’t)!

Anyways we saw the movie “Up” yesterday and the beginning was kinda sad. Elie died before she and her husband achieved their dream of visiting and exploring South America.

Sadly this happens to TOO MANY people.
They dream of getting rich, retiring early, traveling the world, improving the quality of their life and NEVER get anywhere close to hitting their goals.

DON’T BE THAT PERSON 30 YEARS FROM NOW!

We’re all operating WAY below our full potential. If you live your whole life way below your potential you’ll grow old one day and regret everything you could have accomplished if only:

  1. You had take a little more risk.
  2. You had been ready and willing to seize opportunities when they came by.
  3. If you had realized that success is a journey and NOT a destination, you NEED to enjoy every moment of the process!
  4. If you had set goals and taken PERSISTENT and CONSISTENT action to achieve them, no matter what the obstacle.


You know what drove me to my success?

The fear of living a life of mediocrity, a life of insignificance.

A life of a steady pay checks and a 9 to 5 job.

A life of working in a boring job for 45 years only to die broke.

That’s was my BIGGEST nightmare.

If you don’t wanna live like that then DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

The definition of Hell is, at the end of your life, meeting the person you could have been if you had lived up to your true potential!

    Good read Amit,

    I know for sure It’s not going to be me. I don’t want to be that person too. Hopefully I will live long enough to realize all my dreams.

    Have fun in Houston. It is a whole lot warmer that Boston for sure. :)

    Amit,
    I think everyone wishes for that type of life style but few dare to take up that challenge. Nice motivating post.
    Thanks.

    It is really scary for us to reach the end of our life and to look back to find that we had done nothing noteworthy. Thinking of this may help us to use fear to propel us to do something that we really want to do in life.

    Cheers,
    Vincent
