Mental Vitamin - Why is That?

Henry David Thoreau once posed an intriguing question; "Why are the mass of men in such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate circumstances?"

Much of what AdvoCare offers is the chance to make financial progress by implementing a plan for reducing personal debt; at the same time, we offer a chance to create a second source of income which, if used at least in part as what we call "Momentum Money" for the reduction of debt in accordance with the DebtBuster system, can eliminate debt in a much shorter period of time.

Now, in spite of the proven fact that our business model works without running any undue risks, and that thousands have and are becoming free of debt while engaged in a business that builds a new source of income that can grow to significant proportions over time, there's an element that's part of the success process that we still must address. That element ties into Thoreau's question, "Why are the mass of men in such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate circumstances?"

It's probably fair to say that many, if not most, of those who join AdvoCare begin that journey in what could be called "desperate circumstances." They sense a need to do something, they sense they have far too much debt, their primary income source is uncertain at best, they know they're getting older and that their circumstances have not gotten appreciably better, and they feel a twinge of urgency about doing something to take action against the subtle and erosive impact that life is imposing upon them. That may not fully satisfy the definition of "desperation," but if neglected, it certainly can lead to desperation.

But once again, I ask that you connect one more time with just why it is that so many want so desperately to succeed, but seem to always be in such desperate circumstances. Even in AdvoCare, many join but not all use the power inherent within the structure of AdvoCare to, in fact, put their desperation behind them.

The reason, I believe, is that like so many people, we want what we want but we want it now, and we want it now because we need it now. This line of thinking is what's behind the reason why I found myself over many years and with so many good intentions being over $300,000 in credit card debt; I was one of the many who could not control the human impulse for "instant gratification."

As is always the case, for things to change, we have to change; otherwise things are going to stay about like they've always been. And, left to our own devices and the habits of thought and action we've formed, we're not likely to change, which is why AdvoCare, with its tools for change and the support system that?s available, true change is brought within your reach; you're no longer alone in your search for progress.

You no longer have to be in desperate haste to succeed but always running from one financial emergency to another, but you must move towards the solution; if you join, if you try and if you stay, the solution given to you will make "desperation" part of the past.
