BE – DO – HAVE

I don't know if anybody has ever read the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" series of books (which are very good by the way) but in one of them the author states that in order to be successful at any given endeavor you must first understand the BE-DO-HAVE theory.

The theory states that in order to benefit from any given activity you must not only do - you must BE. For example, just because you jump off a diving board does not make you a diver. A diver must also be able to train using weights, understand the science behind the sport, eat properly, etc.

The person must have the mindset of being a diver and constantly live with the notion that he as a person and he as a diver are one in the same. You have to be before you can do, and you have to do before you can have. If you don't, nothing you ever get will be enough. And if you do, whatever you have will be plenty. With this in mind, find some time today to fit a little "being" time into your "to-do" list. It may just turn out to be the best time investment you could ever make.
