It's really true, the rich are different.  But not in the way you might think.

Truly wealthy people don't see the world the way the average person does.  If they did, they'd be average too.  A truly wealthy person sees what could be inside of what is.  But that's not the only difference.  The truly wealthy person takes action on that vision, and doesn't let anyone tell them it can't be done.

How many times have you had an idea that seemed revolutionary to you, but you or someone with whom you shared your idea told you something like, "well,if it was such a good idea, someone would have done it already."  Or, "yeah, that would be great, but that would cost a lot to do, and, well, it probably wouldn't work out in the end anyway."  Or maybe you didn't even get that far.  Lots of ideas "wither on the vine" -- never make it out of your head, much less into action.

Ask a wealthy person how often they've chosen not to act on an idea, and I'll bet they say it wasn't often, and when they didn't, they regretted not taking the chance.  Taking action doesn't always mean seeing the idea to fruition come hell or high water.  You may get a little way down the road and discover that the idea needs tweaking, or that the implementation really isn't worth the time and expense.  But at least you got to that point!

You'll probably also learn that wealthy people fail more often than the rest of us.  Not because they're not good at what they do.  Because they take more chances.  And they learn from their failures, and add it to their "success lessons" so next time they don't make the same mistake.  The "average" person is afraid to fail, so they never even take the chance.

Remember Apple's campaign many years ago "Think Different"?  Grammar issues aside, it's good advice.  If you think just like everyone else, you'll be just like everyone else.  I've heard a lot lately that you are the average of the five people you are around the most.  Look around.  Are your friends and family, the people you are around every day, positive, innovative, living their lives to the fullest, taking chances, having fun, failing forward fast and hurtling toward success?  If not, then chances are you aren't either.

If you want to make a change, you've got to make a change.  Remember that doing the same things over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of "crazy."  Ask yourself, "who would I have to be to achieve what I want in the world?"  Then do it.  Start noticing how people you admire think and act. Take one small step every day toward your dream, and start becoming the person you really want to be.   When you think differently, you'll starting seeing endless possibilities!
