Let me clarify, I believe that we can all achieve pretty much anything. If you want to own a Ferrari, it's not impossible. Let me give you an example. A friend of mine has been globetrotting for the last 18 months or so. Every now and then his facebook status will say 'Steve is in ...' and some of the countries he has been to are staggering! But this isn't because his family have lots of money, indeed he comes from a working class family who I imagine don't have £1000's to throw away travelling. I firmly believe that Steve travels the world because his state of mind enables him to do so.
I have no time for people who moan and groan that life is so hard, and I don't understand because I come from a fairly well off family. Well let me tell you that's a load of crap. As a family we have lost a house due to bankruptcy, we've suffered extreme poverty where fortunately our church were able to provide food. My mum has worked hard, and even after a marriage breakup we find ourselves doing well. I did have my own place but moved back home mainly to be with her over a difficult time.
But here's my point, I come from very poor surroundings, I have little more than GCSE's under my belt. Yet I'm not stuck in a dead end minimum wage job, indeed my job with BT is quite well paid.
If I wanted, right now I could go to a garage and pick up pretty much any car I wanted. On finance obviously. I choose however to spend my cash on guitar stuff, so I can sound as good as possible when I'm playing. So, in the last year, the amount I have spent on getting my studio together, and buying music stuff, I could easily have brought a Porsche.
As it happens I'm happy with my '96 Golf GTi, it gets me about!
But I want to encourage the world, because your state of mind will determine your destiny.
