Those people, in the 95%, cannot comprehend the minds,and lives of those who are in the 5%.

Humans have the tendency to read a good book, especially a motivation book, get all inspired, see the logic in the advice, see the common sense, and want to change, really change, really grow, really succeed, and then after a week of putting the book down after finishing the book go back to what he or she used to do.

This is why there are many motivational, spiritual and inspirational books and many millions of people read those books, but only about 5 % actually try to do what is in the book and follow the advice and actually change their lives and become who they always wanted to be.

95 percent become what they are on the path of life that they are on, conformers, regular workers, consumers, always struggling, always in debt, always wishing, hoping, and wondering why he or she never made it beyond where they are.

The biggest problem is always self doubt, and other people’s opinions, and especially that rut we are all in, you know that path in life that is exactly where all our family and friends are in, in fact the same rut the rest of the people around us are in, the rut that we will all die in if we don’t do something about it.

Starting to climb the hill, get up for work, get out of bed in the morning and so on, are the hard parts, the start.
When we start to make changes to our own lives the effort at the start feels so overwhelming, and if we mention the changes that we want to make with our own lives to family and friends, most often we are met with shrugs, laughter, and people who don’t believe that we can do it, because they already know that they cannot do it.
You see, you are surrounded by that 95% that won’t ever try good advice even after they have been given it.
The thing to realize, is that those giving you the advice to just conform and be like everyone else have already given up their childhood dreams, and they have settled for what they have always had, and this is as far as these people will eve go in their lives.

People advise you on what and who they are, how they feel, what they do and have done, and their own motivations and dreams. So, if they have mentally given up, made excuses for giving up, settled comfortably in their nest of conformity and stable life, this is what he or she will assume that you need, want, and should have, and when you ask advice or help from people who are in that 95 percent of conformity and acceptance of their lot in life as others are, they will give you from their own minds what they are, and they will inspire you only as far as they are, and they will see you as only being as good as they are, or possibly a bit better, like in a sport and so forth, but they have limited their Life Experience, and they actually expect in their twenties to go no further in life, and they don’t.

Jesus said don’t hide your light under a bushel.

Many people are born with some amazing talents and abilities, and they excel in many area’s, yet once they get that first job, the money is there, friends, they party, and they settle in to that lifestyle, and as the years go by probably read 4-5 motivational books, and many inspirational true stories, maybe join a religion, and while using up these important years of their lives he or she will let their talents drift away and forget them as they succumb to the regular lifestyle of the regular conformers, the people’s lifestyle of the 95% that never get anywhere near the dreams that they once had for their own life when they were younger, full of wonder and excitment about the future and life.

Only you can change your life, and you will have to stop listening to those who have already given up their own dreams (even if they seem happy and content), because your life, dreams, and future are different from theirs, and you want to be in that 5% that wants a different life from the others, and wants to see what he or she can do, experience new things, climb to new heights, and be who they always wanted to be.

Life gets better for you when you want it to be better, and then you do something about it.

All the best from
