When you reach Six figure earnings - it's expected you are like a fountain of inspiration and anything you want you know how to achieve. But thru my discussion with my friend - what I realized is not a lot has changed since he moved to the six figure club. He says he still need to toil hard to come up with inspirations.
What was most odd was the statement that he gets most inspirations when he is in a lot of pain.
This got me thinking about my own life and oddly I found this to be true. I started investing when I was in a lot of financial pain and found that even with my above average pay - I was unable to stay ahead of debt. I started blogging when I was in pain with my personal life and could not find any venues to vent it. I came up with excellent solutions at work when I was under extreme stress and about to break.
I guess it the innate human instinct that kicks in at these cross roads of our life. We feel God has left us and the CrossRoads Demon(from Supernatural) is the only RED pill out of it. Well the answer to any impossible question is when you have 2 options infront of you, choose the third option.
Oddly though it's easier said than done. God always kept the third option in play but it's not easily visible. Lets take an example to resolve this:
You did something and are in soup. Some one is blackmailing you. You have 2 options
- Yield to blackmailers demand
- Kill the blackmailers and hope you don't get caught.
What is your choice. I hope it's not 2 as unless you are a super assassin, chances are you will get caught and pay for your crime. If you chose 1 then you are in "The One Way Ride to HELL". The blackmailer will never stop till he has sucked you dry.
Well there is a third option, only we never thought of it. It's to simply come clean in most cases. Be it to your partner or at work or with the Government (if your are into 007 stuff).
Let me know your thoughts friends. Have you ever faced something like this in your life when Gods' grace beamed on you and you chose the 3rd option which was not provided to you?
