Troubled times will help determine whether someone is in committed to being successful or not. When the going is good and things seem to be going your way it is easy to get settled into a comfort zone. This happens alot when a person has an hours for dollars job that pays the bills with a little extra cash for fun. But what happens when the chips fall, a job is lost or business just isn't what it use to be?
For the average American, the comfort zone is a dangerous place to be. Sometimes it takes an attitude adjustment to realize that life and lifestyle will not improve until a person gets a little uncomfortable and less convenient to make things happen. They really do expect things to just happen so the commitment level is not very high. These people become followers and not leaders. They have set goals too low or not at all because they got comfortable in the manner in which they were living.
Financial freedom is determined by the extent that a person is willing to become uncomfortable and do things that take them out of their comfor zone. When the chips fall the average American instead of jumping up and finding a new way to make it happen, they throw in the towel. They blame everything but themselves for the lack of determination to create a new plan, go a new direction, dream a new dream.
Successful people know how to change with the times. They don't get stuck in a rut and always doing the same thing over and over, year after year. If you truely want to be successful you must constantly evaluate and make adjustments to improve and move forward. So when new opportunites come your way you will not shrink back which keeps you from moving to the next level. The good old days are gone and it is time for the good new days. Stretch yourself and be willing to take on a little risk. Dream a new dream. If you do not have a dream then you are not really living you are just existing.
