Despite the negative news that bombards us daily, we are living in one of the most glorious, prosperous times ever in the history of the world. Technological innovations have allowed us to live in levels of comfort and luxury our ancestors couldn’t even dream of. Even the poorest welfare recipients in the U.S. are many times better off than much of the population in Third World and other poor countries.
It is our choice whether to actively demand your share of the incredible prosperity around us or passively settle for whatever mediocrity comes our way.
It takes no more effort to demand abundance than it does to accept misery.
After all, misery IS a full-time job.
I mean, it’s tough to be truly miserable without committing at least 3 hours a day to complaining and whining; 5 hours to watching TV; 1 hour to moping about how bad the world is treating you; and 2 more hours stuffing your face and engaging in other activities to try to take your mind off how miserable you’ve become. All that adds up to 77 hours a week job, just to stay fully miserable.
What would happen if you took all that time and energy and invested it solely in goal-achieving activities? Let’s see… 77 hours a week of goal-achieving activities. I bet you’d see some awesome results, don’t you? And it wouldn’t require any more time or effort than it does to be miserable. Which one are you going to choose?
