InTENtion for 2010 and the new decade
It is often bandied about that Knowledge equals Power. The caveat to this should be that Knowledge only equals Potential Power.
Knowledge applied becomes power and the key word is applied (i.e: ACTION).
Like a wound up spring or coil stores potential energy (or power) similarly reading, learning attending seminars, etc., will only yield an outcome once it is applied. Hence knowledge is potential power.
Once the spring or coil is let loose (by the application of an action to release the energy stored) so it is with knowledge. Once applied by way of action (measured planned or otherwise) knowledge may then bear fruit and produce results for its beholder.
I am not trivialising the need for gaining knowledge. I am a voracious reader and remain a student for life, however until one commits to applying that which is learnt and gains some momentum, then they will remain at the mercy of inertia.
As it is with physics, so it is with our success path. As the late Jim Rohn puts it.....Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion. Affirmation with discipline (action) will move us closer to our dreams/goals and aspirations.
We can spectate or participate. We may make mistakes and they will be part of the stepping stones to our success. The price of those mistakes and learning(s) will be worthwhile if we accept the lessons they hold. We should also pay attention to the mistakes of others and learn from them also. Just as important to doing what we know is to avoid doing those things that take us away from our iTENded goals. It is in the doing that we can learn the most.
We are at the start of a New Year and new decade (the Teens) so to my fellow SS community and cohort, have great InTENtion in 2010 and take whatever actions are necessary to make this decade a wonderful one on your own personal (and shared) journey.
People often over-estimate what they can do in a year and completely under-estimate what they can achieve in a decade. This has been true in my life as after a lengthy hiatus in my investing journey the drought of which was broken (by taking action) only six years ago, I am on an empowering path to fulfilment and reaching greater success in the various facets of my life, including but not limited to health, family, peace of mind, and wealth.
I wish and inTENd the same for you in the coming decade.
