WHY WOULD YOU BUILD A HOUSE WITH NO ROOF
Building a life without preparation is like constructing a house without a roof, leaving you exposed to whatever life throws at you. Would you spend time and money building a beautiful house but leave the roof off? Of course not!
Life is waiting for you each day and you have to prepare for each challenge along the way towards success. It's not simple, but it can be done. Welcome to my Common Sense Motivation Episodes. I'm Chris Fantastic Powell.
Speaker 1:Why would you build a house with no roof? Let me ask you something Would you ever spend time, money and energy building a beautiful house but leave the roof off? Of course not, Because without a roof, you're exposed. Anything can blow in Rain, wind, dirt, even things that don't belong there. Yet so many people are living their lives exactly like that Building without protection, without preparation, without the tools they need to keep their life secure.
Speaker 1:I hear it all the time my parents, or no one, showed me enough love. I was never taught confidence, no one ever showed me discipline, work ethic, patience or courage. I was never taught self-esteem, I never felt important. And on and on. These excuses continue, and you know what. That might be all true, you may not have been given those tools, but here's the reality.
Speaker 1:Once you're grown, once you realize what you're missing, it's on you to build what's missing, Because if you don't, you're walking through life with no roof, letting in the attitudes, the excuses, missed opportunities and the wrong people you see, once you know what's missing in your life, you no longer have an excuse. You have a responsibility. You have the power to learn discipline, to practice courage, to build self-esteem, to develop a worth ethic that nothing can shake. Nobody can stop you from putting that roof on, except you. The problem is too many. Turn to the wrong solutions, to substances, distractions or broken people to fill the gap. But that's just like patching your roof with paper towels it won't hold up when the storm comes.
Speaker 1:So hear me today Stop using your past as a permanent excuse. Build it now. Fix what you know you're missing. Prepare yourself before you take the next step so when the storms of life come and they will come you'll still be standing strong, safe and ready for the next chapter, Because you can't control the house you were born into, but you have full control over the one you're building now. Make it happen. I'm Chris Fantastic Powell. Thank you for listening. For books, ebooks or audiobooks, visit chrisfantasticpowellcom or find them on Amazon.
