Forgive Yourself!
“It’s okay to be less than perfect.” – the Wealthy Gardener
LESSON 4-54 REMINDER
Video transcript: A bright future awaits you, but only if you forgive yourself for the mistakes of the past. As an achiever, you will face setbacks just like the rest of us.
The only question is how you’ll respond. Only by forgiveness can we suffer setbacks, loss or soul-crushing failures and come out unscarred and undamaged.
“Forgive yourself,” said Judy Belmont, “for not having the foresight to know what now seems so obvious in hindsight.”
The challenge of misjudgments, setbacks and failures is to forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know before you learned it.
Self-forgiveness does not mean ignoring the pain of bad things; it means deciding that the pain will not control what’s left of your life. Self-forgiveness heals the wounds of the soul. You can overcome anything, and you must.
When you let go of the past, you allow a brighter future.
Les Brown said, “Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.” Nobody is perfect. And it’s okay to be less than perfect.
It’s time to forgive yourself for whatever you keep beating yourself up about. When you feel the need to replay a negative situation in your mind, consider the following passage about forgiveness to help you let go of the past:
God, grant me the serenity to stop beating myself up for not doing things perfectly, the courage to forgive myself for mistakes of the past, and the wisdom to know that yesterday’s regrets do not define who I am today

Grow Your Wealth Advantage
“Wealth arises from sacrifices that provide advantages.”
LESSON 4-53 REMINDER
Video transcript: In every goldfish pond, we always find one fish to be larger than the others. The large goldfish has a size advantage. Due to its size, it will continue to outgrow the other goldfish in the pond. And its advantage is the key to its growth.
Similarly, you can grow your own size advantages in life.
It doesn’t matter how old you are today. It doesn’t matter what mistakes you’ve made in the past. It doesn’t even matter if you feel overwhelmed and stressed out now.
By gaining the slightest advantage, wherever you are in your life, you can gain wealth in the future. It’s all about gaining an economic advantage.
How do you gain an advantage for wealth?
When you want massive change, you need to commit your entire life for a while to create massive changes. It won’t be easy, but it will be temporary.
What does this sacrifice look like in the real world?
You’ll drive used cars. You’ll live below your means. You’ll work overtime and weekends, maybe even have two or three jobs. You’ll watch very little television. You’ll educate yourself. You’ll constantly revise your plans. And all excess money will go into your savings. Your excess money is off-limits for spending. It’s the seedlings of your fortune.
And when you’re rich, you’ll see that these temporary sacrifices gave you advantages. Your savings grew into investments that earns passive income.
Wealth is possible, regardless of where you are today, if you are willing to sacrifice, and then continually rework your plans to grow your advantages.

Ask and You Shall Receive
Dreams are lost for want of asking. – the Wealthy Gardener
Lesson 4-52 Reminder
Video transcript: “You get in life what you have the courage to ask for,” said Oprah Winfrey. To get what you want, ask for what you want.
You want more out of life. You want security, fulfilment, adventure, and a sense of direction. You want power over your conditions.
And these desires are awaiting your request.
I once wanted to go on a retreat, by myself for a week, maybe to the desert. And that’s not an easy thing to do when you’re married.
I approached my wife. I explained to her why it was important to me, and she told me to do it. Simple as that. I asked and I received.
Questions open doors. They give us options.
“Learn to ask for what you want,” advises Peter McWilliams. “The worst people can do is not give you what you ask for which is precisely where you were before you asked.”
You need to ask others for what you want, but even more important is asking yourself. The questions you ask yourself define your limits.
How can you take that dream vacation? How can you get physically fit despite your busy schedule? How can you change your career?
“Ask and you shall receive” may not be an absolute maxim. But not asking is surely the absolute way not to receive.
What do you want in life? What do you need in your life, or a part of you will die? If you don’t ask for it, the answer is always “no.”
