It’s difficult to wait for what you want. We’re taught that with enough money you can get anything you want right now. No why pay attention to anything for any length of time? And more is better, right? Well all of that applies to commodities or things, but the world is not just commodities and…
DetailsIt’s always surprising to me that with all the physical limitations there are are in the world, geography, time, resources, that what hampers us most often is the limits we have in our own minds.
