Why do the rich get richer?

Leadership with a Twist of Yoga

I am driving across country (moving from the Atlantic to the Pacific.)

The other night I foolishly kept driving late into the night. Then couldn’t find a place to stop and wound up in a flea-bag hotel. Afraid of bed-bugs and creepy noises, I could barely sleep.

The next day I was so tired, I couldn’t listen to anything motivational or inspirational in the car. (Only mind-numbing babble on the radio.) That night I stayed in a luxury hotel, got plenty of sleep, and the next day could listen to… and be inspired by… the motivational CD’s I had brought along on the trip.

It made me think that when you are tired and discouraged:

• You talk yourself out of your dreams.

When you feel rested and safe:

• You don’t limit yourself.
• You can focus on what you want… not your circumstances.

Could that be why the rich get richer? Just wondering.
