As Jim Rohn said “Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.” That means you can’t start acting like a millionaire after you become a millionaire, you can’t start acting like a pro sportsmen after you become a pro sportsmen. That is reverse logic. People become successful because they have the necessary mindset and knowledge to become so, they act like the person they want to become.

You do not have to chase down your goals, you have to become a person that is worthy to receive them.

Say you became the most talented investor of all time, you wouldn’t have to chase down millions of pounds. Those millions would come to you because you have knowledge that is worth millions. So make the decision today not to try to achieve your goals but to become a person with a high enough value to receive them. Educate yourself, learn what you need to learn and become the person you need to be.

Remember what Mahatma Gandhi said: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
