To achieve personal excellence and to be successful, we must build our earning ability. Just as our body need nourishment and daily exercise so does our earning ability. It has taken you your help entire life time to develop this ability. Every bit of education, hard work and time you spent learning a craft or trade goes into building this asset.
To achieve personal fulfillment, excellence and success, we have to increase this ability. It is like a muscle, it can increase in strength and power year by year as a result of regular exercise. Likewise, the opposite is true too; If left alone or ignored, this ability like your muscle can become weaker or even decline because you have simply failed to upgrade it continually.
Simply put, your earning ability can either be an appreciating or depreciating asset. An appreciating asset is something that increases in value or cash flow every year as a result of continual investment and improvement. On the other hand, a depreciating asset is something that loses value over time and finally reaches a point where it is "written off" being of little or no value. The choice is yours whether you want your earning ability to be appreciating or depreciating. It all depends on the time and effort we spend developing it. But always remember;
The only place where your dreams can't come true is in your thinking
I love this. As an addendum, your earning ability has a direct correlation with how well you spend your time.
