So recently I was reading how a person was doing a challenge of sort where he would essentially start with zero dollars and then attempt to live life by gathering anything he can during his journey. So that can mean begging people for food, shelter or even clothing. I guess you can say on a surface level that sounds really challenging and would be a testament that you can do anything per se if you put your mind to it.
The problem with this though is that the person has an advantage in the sense of he is already well known and famous. Therefore, the odds of them not being recognized and being offered support is fairly slim. So in reality the person isn’t really going through a rough financial situation like many would where he is showing practical ways to turn your situation around.
I was thinking how this is important to think about because I know many times for people who are in financial debt they tend to buy everything ranging from books to seminars to have people tell them these spectacular stories on how they conquered these crazy types of life obstacles. When you think about it though it’s not the same thing where if anything it’s mostly just getting into more debt by buying into the dream I guess you can say.
If anything I usually treat things like that as entertainment for the most part as opposed to like a strict guideline that will work for you. In most cases your situation just isn’t the same as that other person’s. It’s like watching a fictional movie in many ways where you might get some interesting ideas but in no way should you treat it like medical advice as an example. It’s your own unique journey which requires a unique solution.
