Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.
If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.
Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.
Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.
If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.
The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits. There is just less competition for bigger goals.
@BowTiedBull V true for private lenders - some might be willing to modify your loan, which will ruin your credit for several years.
Govt lenders (Fannie, Freddie, FHA, VA, USDA) will prob do HARP 2.0… no appraisals required —> unlimited LTV 😂
@BowTiedBull@BowTiedOx Roberto gave me a private tour of Pablo’s home in Medellín — bullet holes still in the wall, trap door hiding space…INSANE stories. Said he once saw $100M cash, lol. This was the push I needed to finally read this book he signed for me 7yrs ago. Gracias
