My current real estate investing set-back

Upon return from my vacation a week and a half ago, my vehicle was pronounced dead upon my arrival home. The battery had died, set off an alarm I was unaware existed, which activated an ignition kill system I could not bypass. Well, I ended up bypassing the alarm when I arc'd the battery with the fender, and shorted out the electrical system. Awesome, vehicle would start now! Welllllll, not quite. The arc welding experiment also took out my alternator which I have now replaced twice, and the vehicle is still not charging. Finally, I took the vehicle to a shop this morning. I am going to let them deal with it as my time is more valuable focusing on real estate.

I illustrate this frustrating episode of my life to illustrate one of the many problems one runs into when embarking on their own. Desire, as I briefly touched on two posts ago serves to aid one in enduring these types of problems. Any self made individual has endured countless hurdles, heart aches, and losses. It is inevitable. Successful people are the ones who never give up. Perseverance leads us to those breakthroughs that make us into stronger and more educated people.

I have been very frustrated recently due to my lack of transportation, but simply see this as the necessary step back before I move forward towards my goals. Just as an up trending stock has its ups and downs, our paths to success will similarly have theirs as well. We just have to keep ourselves focused in the right direction and ride out all of the struggles we endure... Pretty sure we can all get rich someday.
