Home Business Tips – Where Did Your Dream Go?
This past week we had the carpets shampooed in our home. Our cat Finn has sparked the question for this article. It is our practice to remove as much of the furniture as possible, moving most of it out onto the front veranda. This leaves all of the corners empty and Finns behavior was extremely fun and interesting to watch.
He had to investigate each and every corner, running like a whirlwind from corner to corner and in some corners actually running up the wall. Plus he would also spend a little quiet time in each corner, lie down, stretch out facing into the room and just survey his territory. He reminded me of a lion laying down and watching out over his pride.
He was curious, adventurous and taking lots of action! Something like you were when you were a kid.
Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them. W. Clement Stone
We lose our curiosity as we get older, society programs it out of you and you become part of the 97% of people who retire at the age of 65 dead or dead broke. You have to fight to be a part of the 3% and you have to fight hard. That battle can be fought and won with curiosity.
The more powerful the questions you ask yourself will create the most powerful results in your life. Powerful questions equal a powerful life. Weak questions equal a weak life. Are you asking yourself powerful or weak questions?
Take the time to build curiosity into your schedule. Learn something new via a newspaper, book or magazine. Check out business topics of interest on the internet; go to websites you have never gone before. If you commute to work on a daily bases, go a different way, you may discover a shorter route or one that is a much more pleasant drive.
Be curious about your own vision or dream. Think about it, expand upon it, mull it over in your heart and share it with others. When you are curious about your dream you can make it come true rather than settling for what life gives you. Fight for success instead of settling for failure!
