Mystique is a small but powerful force that makes things appear to be a lot more attractive than they actually are.
See, there’s a difference between liking the idea of something and actually liking the action of something
Like the idea of flipping real estate, what about if the market changes? Or does your contractor bail? Or lose money? Are you ready to handle that?
Like the idea of becoming CEO of a big company? What about the long hours, responsibility, and the pressure? Are you ready to handle that?
Like the idea of a fancy law degree? What about the 6 figure debt and 60-hour work weeks? Are you ready to handle that?
Like the idea of owning your own business or becoming self-employed? What about the fact that 100% of your income comes from your own effort? Are you ready to handle that?
Like the idea of becoming a celebrity? What about the invasion of privacy or scrutiny, are you ready to handle that?
Is it worth it? Sometimes yeah, other times no.
Have you ever thought of the consequences or third-degree decisions on the things that you desire?
There’s a difference between liking the idea of something and like the act of doing something, and it’d help to remember the difference.
