Reflecting on 5 years

Reflecting on things, particularly if you keep a few records of prices and development, to remind you of what a difference 5 years can make.Try to turn your mind back 5 years and reflect on the differences you can notice,ie both maturity, developmentally and financially.  Now cast your mind forward 5 years, eg when you were 25/30, 30/35, 35/40 and so on.  If the answer is "things are much the same".  Why?  Too scared to take a forward step? At the end of 5 years it might seem that the forward step was no big deal. Then, it might be one of those "should have, could have" scenarios.

I guess my point is about being patient and consistent.  Society seems to have adopted "an instant gratification" approach to life which at the same time can cause stagnation/procrastination. Try not to let this mind set, which might delay progress, become the norm for the rest of your life.

Chapter 13 will be useful as it has some tools to assist going forward.
