Here is something that dawned on me yesterday as I was taking a break at work. We have no excuses to no strive for success in this modern world. We actually live in the most amazing time ever. I mean think about it, in what other time in history could a person sit at a desk and look at a screen and learn anything in the world. People used to spend their entire lives wishing for the opportunities we have today. In the past a writer would have to fight hard to get published and distributed. Now you can sit down at a computer, write all day long, and advertise for yourself. Music is now the same way. Most artists can record themselves now and distribute and sell their music online.
Abraham Lincoln studied some old second-hand law books he bought as a young man. Now we can simply get online and learn pretty much anything on our own. For the self-starters out there, this world right now is a treasure trove of opportunity. The great business men and women of the past had to work and sweat with brick and mortar businesses. Business leaders of today start companies like Google and Facebook. Anyone with an internet connection could take over this world. I think that is the most exciting feeling ever. I'm going to make it a priority of mine to think about this when I get out of bed every morning.
