Just one season

That's what we are taking, one season, to change our lives. That's the commitment. Concentrate, put off amusements, pay attention and kick it for one season, so we can play the rest of our lives. What amazes me us is not how few people have chosen to do the same thing, but how many. If you knew that if you spent one year working hard you could have a six figure income forever, would you do it? So far, the answer from many folks is a resounding 'yes.'

What if it took two years? Or even three? Would you work very hard for three years to make a six figure income forever?

We would, and we are; we don't mind sacrifice in the short run for wild success in the long. But maybe that's just us. See, we want to wake up one day and realize that we don't have to get up, that we can drive to the beach or take a flight to Europe, go for a jog or take up painting, ride a horse or go to a basketball game. Whatever we want. And that includes doing what we are doing now; Kathy loves being an attorney, so she may simply keep doing what she loves. But it will be because she loves it, not because she has to.

We never before believed such a thing was possible; really, it sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? But now we see it happening to other people right before our eyes. There is simply no denying what we have witnessed and know to be true, and we are so blessed to be a part of the whole thing. Success leaves clues and we are collecting them.

So, one day a couple of years from now we'll be lounging on a warm beach when it's a snowy January day in Memphis, and we will have to determine whether it was all worth it. Yeah, sure we will, right?

If you're skeptical, that's okay; you're right to doubt that statement just a little bit...see, we'll be on the beach alright, but we won't really have to think at all whether it was worth it or not. That's a no-brainer.
