You and the person you want to be live in different worlds.

Your reality

You live in a world where your light can be on or off.

If you are poor but you want to be rich,

That desire is your light bulb.

Every time it shines, you’ll do whatever you can to transcend the current you — to become rich.

If it turns off, nothing has changed; it is the reality you know — poverty.

Your desired reality

They live in a world where the light does not turn off and cannot be turned off by any means.

It is against who they are to be poor.

The necessity to be rich for them is driven by their identity and reinforced by their reality — they cannot touch the switch.

In order to be more, you must turn your light on and keep it on.

That’s the only way to turn your desire, into reality.

You must constantly do whatever it takes to transcend your current.

That’s the way to live with your light on.
