Compound Interest

It's almost here. It's so close I can feel it. It like its already happened and I'm just waiting for time to catch up.

Mid February I set in motion a list of goals to accomplish. I've titled these goals, "My 5 year plan." Whatever happens at the end of the five years has yet to be determined, meaning I haven't been able to clearly see which path I will take at that point. Although everything prior to the five year mark, everything in between has already been seen; been done. Like I said earlier: just waiting for time to catch up.

One of my favorite quotes by Albert Einstein is, "The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest." Personally, I think the statement is more of a riddle than asserting that having money in an interest baring account is something that compares to anything profound in the universe. Although the idea that your money(being an inanimate object) can create money basically out of nowhere is quite impressive. But... Einstein was very well trained in the art of visualization...I mean the guy could visualize himself "standing" next to a beam of light traveling at the speed of light...and he thought compound interest in the monetary sense was the greatest force in the universe?

How about the human mind? Visualizing. Goals. Visualizing goals. Visualizing, accomplishing goals. Accomplishing goals. How's that for compound interest? A goal is usually somewhat of a challenge. When meeting that challenge, and conquering it, it will build on itself. It will become more fluid, easier to grasp that next goal. And again, and again... What ever you set your mind to...like sitting next to a beam of light traveling at the speed of light.

So what ever you do out there, keep it positive!

"Compound interest is the greatest force in the universe"
