Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when you only have one idea


This rings so true for me when I was a teenager and where I see where many teenagers and young adults are today in their mind space. When we are young life is easy and every dream is within your grasp. We challenge all who try and "talk sense" into our heads. 

The idea of health, wealth and the perfect life partner who will fill our hearts and days with love and an ecstasy of happiness is our truth! Actually at first this is very attainable and your one idea of total and absolute success seems real. 

Then life happens...we get heart broken by the first love, we realize the corporate world Is a very morally and personally challenging place and our parents become ill. The truth is these experiences and setback in life are very necessary for our future development and growth, through heart ache we realize what we need out of life and what kind of person we want to walk life's way with, disappointments at work mould us into a space in our career that we are comfortable with without loosing who we are and sick parents humble us and make us grateful and appreciative of life. 

The one idea concept is also dangerous because if that idea fails what are you going to fall back on? If life has taught me anything it's t have insurance, security and some kind of back up plan, we spend so much of our hard earned salary on pension funds, medical aids, life insurance and other safety investments, why? Because nothing in life is a guarantee and we need to have plan a, b and c for if things go wrong like retrenchment, illness and or disability.

To end off I would like to encourage all your adults to study as hard and as. Much as they can and be hard working, once you have those two elements covered you can build on that.

Good luck and a happy future to all
