I might use this in the classroom (with a focus on overall life success, not just financial).

People seem so ready to blame others(parents, friends, etc) for their plight…which keeps them from thinking about finding a good solution. The day I said “this is all on me” was one of the most liberating days of my life.

I think one of the hardest things is to realize what you should be learning. I feel like often I have the willingness to learn but I don’t put forth enough effort to really be aware of what I need to learn or need to change.

Success is about effort and using your full mental capacity.

Note to self: Get a goal, already!

I’ve given up looking for a job and doing about half a dozen things to create income to focus on building my website and making it successful. I feel so much better doing that, instead of slogging thru a mile long todo list, I am working full time on something I care about.

I must not be very financially successful. :)

In order to master any form of discpline you have to start with the basics, the fundamentals. I have never looked at any of my challenges in this light. The insight that you recieved from reviewing the reader mailbag has blessed me. Thanks for sharing.
