Anything You Want

Being, not having:

When  you  want  to  learn  how  to  do  something  yourself,  most  people  won't

understand. They'l assume the only reason we do anything is to get it done, and

doing it yourself is not the most efficient way.

But that's forgetting about the joy of learning and doing.

Yes, it may take longer. Yes, it may be inefficient. Yes, it may even cost you mil

ions  of  dol  ars  in  lost  opportunities  because  your  business  is  growing  slower

because you're insisting on doing something yourself.

But the whole point of doing anything is because it makes you happy! That's it!

You might get bigger faster and make mil ions if you outsourced everything to

---

the experts. But what's the point of getting bigger and making mil ions? To be

happy, right?

In the end, it's about what you want to be, not what you want to have.

To have something (a finished recording, a business, or mil ions of dol ars) is the

means, not the end. To be something (a good singer, a skil ed entrepreneur, or

just plain happy) is the real point.

When you sign up to run a marathon, you don't want a taxi to take you to the

finish line.
