How often do we give up when we are close to our goals?

When we are just three feet away from our purposes, we give up because we are emotionally down and feel bad…

That's why I will share with you three essential lessons and three unique stories that I would be utterly different if somebody had shared with me 10 years ago.

So read to the end to explore them for your benefit.

The first story is from the unique and powerful book “Think and Grow Rich.”

A lot of famous and wealthy people read this book many times.

And for example, the founder of Telegram, Pavel Durov, read it 10 or more times.

And he says that his fantastic success is because of reading this powerful book…

So back to the story.

A gold digger read in one newspaper that there was a tremendous opportunity where he could go and dig and find a lot of gold near Northern California.

He went there, and he found that there was a little bit of gold there.

He started digging and got a bit more gold… which was a good sign.

He went back to his family and said: “Excellent”!

We will be billionaires!

He gathered money from this family to purchase equipment and used that equipment to dig for his gold.

He returned to the gold mines he had discovered and started exploring them more carefully.

He dug and dug, and he got more and more gold.

But the problem was that the next time he started digging… there was no gold.

He was searching, and there was gold.

Now there was no gold.

He got into a nasty mood.

In fact, he was absolutely depressed.

He decided to give up.

He went and saw a garbage collector, a man, a poor man that was collecting garbage around those gold mines…

He said to this junk man: “Do you want this equipment? I will sell it to you.”

And the garbage collector said: “okay.”

And he sold his equipment for his gold mine digging for pennies to this garbage collector.

But the garbage collector was a brilliant guy.

He decided to go to an expert, and he asked for his opinion on what he thought about this place for digging gold.

And the expert said: “you know what, there is an ample opportunity and that man who sold this equipment to you didn't know a critical fact about that place…

You need to dig a little bit from the right side, not where he was digging, but from the right side, because there is some seismic shift.”

So this poor man collecting garbage took this equipment and started digging where the expert told him to explore.

And to his great amazement, he found that there were a lot of opportunities to collect gold there.

He collected so much gold that he was just shocked.

It was the biggest gold mine in the area.

The first lesson you can extract from this story is that you can talk with some expert before completely giving up on your idea or dream.

That's why the main takeaway from this story is before giving up, try different approaches.

Don't stop where you are right now.

When things go south.

When they don't go as you wish and take longer for you to accomplish … don't

stop.

Try different approaches.

Try different ways of achieving your goal.
