Zen Garden > Wealth - You Are Only Reaping NOW What You Have Sown in the PAST

The person that you are today is the end result of every experience that you have ever had.

The person that you are today is the end result of every experience that you have ever had. You have been molded into the person that you are. Whether you are bold or timid, strong or weak, wealthy or poor - EVERYTHING about you has been "built."

Now, here is an interesting thought...

If there are things that you do not like about yourself then... you CAN change. Yes, you CAN! Mind you, most people will not.

We can all improve our lives in whatever area we choose - IF we want to badly enough. And that is a BIG "if."

For example, most people want more money but MOST people will do absolutely nothing to attract that money into their lives. That is why MOST people are not wealthy. It is easier to complain than to do something positive to improve your lot.

There is an old Chinese proverb that says: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now."

How many times have you ever heard somebody talking about a missed opportunity and they say something like: "Gee, I wish I'd done that (insert your own number) years ago."?
