Knowlege Reposting

I was discussing success with a colleague the other day and he mentioned that at the root of the word, success simply means to take action. after that discussion I thought that I would re-post this specific article for those of you who missed it the first time around.

Knowledge is NOT Power.

I have often wondered why so many people struggle financially in this day of abundant free information. We have resources on the Internet, libraries are offering more and more programs as well as newer books about any subject that you could imagine, all of which are free. So why is it that so many people struggle or complain about struggling when there are so many sources of free knowledge? After all, knowledge is power, right? Well, not so much. Knowledge in itself does not hold any power, It is the application of that knowledge that unleashes the unstoppable human spirit. Think about this; we all know that eating healthier foods and exercising regularly is key to keeping our bodies and minds healthy, however how many of us really take action on that knowledge. We also know (at least on some subconscious level) that investing our money to make money for us instead of working harder for money is a much better way to pay for our living expenses. Yet the majority of us still work very hard to get our selves into debt that requires us to work harder to pay for those debts. We know that what we are doing is not working all that well for us, but we choose to either not learn more about how to make our money work hard for us or to not take action to change our situation. Knowledge is only the first step to creating wealth, the next step is to take action. So, where do you start? Try the library, you will find free Internet access, books on CD or cassette, videos, DVDs, and of course books, all of which can help you learn more about your money. Next, seek out a professional who specializes in the area in which you are most interested and pick his/her brain, most of the time this can be done for no cost or maybe the cost of lunch. Small price to pay for the knowledge that gives you more options. Finally, TAKE ACTION!! Don't sit around telling your self that you will do something someday. "When I get some extra money" When I have extra time" These scenarios never , and I mean NEVER, happen. There will always be some reason why you can't do something,if you look you will find a reason. If you look a little harder, you will find a reason why and how you can accomplish your dreams. My Grandmother used to say " Danni, If you dig in the ground, you're bound to find dirt". Why dig in the ground for some reason not to make our futures brighter, when the sky is the limit and the pot of gold really is at the end of your rainbow.
