It was Jim Rohn, well known entrepreneur, author and speaker who said; “Wealth is not a matter of intelligence; it’s a matter of inspiration.”

The truth of the matter is that pretty much everyone has inspiration. The question is whether or not they listen to that ‘still small voice,’ or say “No, that’s nuts! I had better keep my nose to the grindstone and play it safe. That’s the smart thing to do!”

People get into the habit of filtering out their own inspiration and doing the ’logical’ or ‘smart’ thing which is usually always what society tells them to do. It was Earl Nightingale who said that cowardice was conformity.

If you want to do something in your life and ‘find your fortune,’ you have to be courageous and listen to your inspiration. You need to stand out from the crowd because conforming will only bring you the same predictable results which, if you read the news, are not good. By conforming, you will get the same results as everyone else.
