Wealth Vs. Death by Ben A. Ratje



















Wanna know something funny?

When I was paragliding and up there
in the air saying hi to a couple of birds,
I noticed something interesting.

Looking down to earth I saw the following:

A GRAVEYARD (=dead people) on my left.

A GOLF COURSE (=wealth) on my right.

When I saw the graveyard I was shocked,
a little scared. Is this a sign I'll die? (^^)

But then in mid-air I reminded myself that
in life we get what we focus on.

So, I decided to focus on the golf course
and focused my eyes as much as possible
on it.

I visualized playing golf with more famous
and successful people, enjoying the course
and having a fantastic time in nature.

By the end of the flight my motivation for
playing golf and becoming wealthier increased.

Why?

Because I focused on what I wanted (wealth)
not on what I did not want (death).

What do you want to focus on?

Get excited,

Ben
