3 Quotes To Discourage Middle of the Road Thinking

The underlying truth in capitalism is that money flows to those who solve other people's most pressing problems.  This is true whether you work at a job as an employee or whether you own your own business.  Most likely your solution will not be accepted easily.  However, this is a very good thing.  The more resistance your solution renders, the more valuable the solution is and the more valuable you become if you have the endurance to see your solution implemented.  The fact that you see something that no one else sees, makes you valuable.

The natural progression of life is to become a leader.  We are naturally blessed with children and live in communities where we are called to lead.  As we provide valuable solutions, we will find challenges to our way of thinking.

According to www.success.com, "The price of leadership is criticism. No one pays much attention to the last-place finishers. But when you’re in front, everything gets noticed."  I always say, "The first sign you are on the right track is that you run into your first critic."  Other quotes include:

Winston S. Churchill said, "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."

Aristotle said, "Criticism is something you can avoid easily—by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing."

"So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." Revelations 3:16

You were not created to please everyone else.  In fact, the more you try the less you will please others because you will have very little positive impact in their life.  Find your passion, find your purpose.
