Hunger
Several years ago I was talking with my father about his life story. My father is a typical rags to riches type-story that you hear. He had lived in Kenya all his life and took a leap of faith after getting a job in Canada (Newfoundland; where it snows all year round from what I hear). His objective was to get into America and he knew if he could get to America he would be able to have the opportunity to make the life that he wanted. The thread in the whole story was the obstacles that he had to go through over and over again. I won’t go into them here but why is it that immigrants have a 4x higher chance of making it than people who currently live in the states? I think the answer boils down to how do you view situations and hunger.
Since this post is about hunger I will talk about that and deal with perspective in a later post. Hunger for more (income, justice, spiritual consciousness, etc.)seems to be the thread in the story of all successful people I have met. Once you figure out what you want and why you want it , the question now turns to how bad do you want it. Don’t get me wrong I am not stating that you keep hitting your head against the wall until something breaks (most likely your head in this situation). I am stating that when you hit a wall you learn how to get around it by learning from your failures and keep going. No one has achieved great success in their life without serious obstacles , but they refused to let the obstacles stop them. Above the post is and audio file of the story of Sylvester Stallone told by Anthony Robbins. I love this story and my best friend John Mashni (http://www.wildrej.com) was gracious enough to record it into an audio format. Let me know what you think by commenting on ths post.
