Hint: It's Not What You Think
While I was in Lake Atitlan Guatemala I had the lesson reinforced that literally anything we want in life is possible and that it really only takes two simple things.
The lake is surrounded by many small and modest villages along with some of the most spectacular resorts and villas that can rival anywhere in the world. That might not sound so special until you hear about HOW these posh places to stay are constructed.
Lake Atitlan is surrounded by volcanos, which makes most of the lake-side property very very steep. This results in most of the land only being accessible by boat and after that human power. No trucks, no heavy machinery, not even animal assistance (animals are too big). That means everything to build and maintain these structures is all humans carried often up a very very steep hillside.
Often we think that if something doesn't come easy or fast then we must be doing it wrong or it's not for us. If these gorgeous places can be built under these conditions then surely we can create anything we want in our life.
What does it take to create what we want?
It's not what you think. It's not money. It's not certifications. It's not know-how. It's not luck.
Those can all come and go and can be acquired or borrowed. What's required and what can't come from anywhere else but inside of you are these two simple things:
Vision and Commitment
If you have no vision, then there isn't even anywhere to go, so direction to start out on.
If you have no commitment then when the road becomes steep or the weather changes, you'll stop, turn around, or give up entirely.
When you have Vision AND Commitment then anything is possible and it's only a matter of time before it becomes a reality.
