Chip Away at the Credit Score Stone
“You are the masterpiece of your own life; you are the Michelangelo
of your experience. The David that you are sculpting is you. And you do it
with your thoughts.” — Dr. Joe Vitale: Motivational author and speaker
I realize that “chip away at the credit score stone” is a bit of a stretch for a post title but there are so many parallels I can run I just had to use it.
Michelangelo in 1501 began with a big ugly, cold, and rough block of Carrara marble… three years later he unveiled David… a timeless masterpiece.
Obviously more than just time, Michelangelo also poured in planning, dedication, vision, hard work and patience.
Without a crystal clear image in his mind of what he was sculpting do you think it would have been even remotely possible to shape something as detailed and beautiful as David?
When people talk to me of improving… or chipping away at the credit score stone, I can tell all they currently see is the “big, ugly, cold, block of rock” before them and haven’t taken the time to set their minds, thoughts and emotions on the masterpiece they are attempting to create.
In order to create a financial masterpiece in the real world you need to first create it with your thoughts…. then move the thoughts into a plan…. then begin to chip away… blow by blow of the hammer with patience and precision until the masterpiece is unveiled.
Do you know what it is you are wanting to create? Do you see it clearly in your minds eye? Can you feel the excitement in your soul required to carry you through the hard times?
Christmas is intended to be a Merry time… thus the name “Merry Christmas” (insert sarcastic tone here)
