Bringing Dreams to Life

I was reading thru a colleague’s internal publication called “The Best of Times” and encountered this power statement from Andrew Goh, a motivational speaker.

Abraham Maslow, father of modern motivational theory, once referred to ‘…capacities clamoring to be used which cease their clamor only when they are used sufficiently.”
We have the capacity to think big. Ask children what they want to be. Few would choose small, unexciting roles. Most declare they want to be President, or Superman, or the richest man on earth.

Somewhere along the way, dreams take a bashing and it becomes convenient (and professedly realistic) to think small. No wonder there’s so little excitement in adult lives compared to how children greet each new dawn!
Andrew Goh

Dreams are as such – as chidren we grow up with big dreams, no one tells us not to dream big dreams, we share our big dreams openly. Slowly as we enter the university of Hard Knocks, adults start to dispise our dreams, we are told to be “real”, we are told it will never happen. In due time, we slowly accept these into our believe system and we lose sight of a possible future for us and no longer dream anymore.

Our retirement is our enjoyment, we do not stop living a life we have worked for even when we have stopped working. Retirement is a destination we are destined to move to, the only difference between everyone is whether or not a person arrives at that destination with much or little.

Financial planning can create the desired retirement destination for you.  If you know exactly what you want for your retirement, take the necessary action to arrive there, not everyone is able to plan for themselves, therefore financial planners are there to assist you, because like consulting a doctor, you need that someone who is trained to prescribe the correct medication to effectively cure you. Like a house builder, he or she is someone trained to correctly build a house with all that is needed for you to live in.
