Thanks for revisiting this Sean! I never grow tired of the updates you have given on your life experience.
My current state of mind I owe in large part to your mentoring over the last 2-3 years!

Thanks Mate

Wow Sean, Such an inspiring article. You have reminded me to look back and be grateful, live in the present and expect the future and it does become reality. I needed the reminder and I accept it. Thank you for sharing your story, very touching & humbling.

G’day Sean,

On reading your great article and the comments, I find it amazing the number of us who grew up in similar circumstances. Not much money, hand-me down clothes, outhouses, no running water unless you ran to the well to get it, water heated on a stove, baths in a wash tub, but parents who cared, development of integrity and ethics, expecting to succeed and and then doing it.

If you have the mindset, most things can be achieved with patience and perseverance. And there is nothing wrong in announcing to the world that you have done it. In fact, that in itself will be an inspiration to others, as your success has no doubt shown. And to paraphrase you, expect to achieve your success but also be prepared to do the work yourself.

Thanks for sharing your childhood with us. It was an extremely enjoyable read as usual.

All the best,
Don

You’re right Sean,money is only a tool to achieve what you want out of life! Willpower and belief will get you there! Most people Want, and do not Expect. Some people Expect and Believe but do not Want!
I have met some very successful people in my life, not all have the integrity and ethics you have Sean. It is a pleasure to know you!

You are perfectly right Wal, expecting something does not necessarily mean that you will receive, unless you act!!
