Why is being illogical so easy for some people?

I know not everyone wants to be a doctor, a truck driver, a garbage collector, an office worker or any of thousands of other jobs.  What I don't understand is why and how some people justify the mediocre jobs they have because they don't have time. They don't have time to do something better.

Talking to a young gal tonight who was counting her tips. She's young, works at an ice cream stand or something like that.  She was happy she made about $16.00 per hour in tips.  That was a great day.  I mentioned she might want to look into something where she could potentially earn a lot more.  Another Scentsy Consultant was here and told about a basket party she just did.  Basket parties are where we make up a basket of samples for the host to use for show and tell as she talks to her friends, relatives and coworkers to assist with sales.  This basket party netted something over $600.00 in sales; the host received almost $100.00 in free product and the consultant made more than $150.00 for what she estimated at a maximum of 3 hours of work.

I don't have time... I have this to do...  I have that to do... Oh, how frustrating it is to me.  Now, I understand that everyone doesn't want to be a Scentsy Independent Consultant or a Mary Kay Representative or even look for a better job.  Why???

This reminds me of a story I hear Art Williams tell.  If you don't know who Art Williams is, he was the founding forefather of A.L.Williams.  A company that, in my words, prided themselves not is selling people life insurance,  but finding people who had brought themselves Whole Life, Universal Life or something other than term insurance and showed them how they could do better every single time, without exception.  He told about how he would show people where they could get twice as much insurance for half the price; and then recommended they invest what they saved....  and some people were so....  so illogical, they just didn't get it.  That frustrated Art to no end.  I am right there feeling the same way.

However, Art conquered the frustration and went on to become a multimillionaire.  I haven't gotten over it yet.  Art got over it by saying to himself... no matter how bad a deal the person had; no matter how much they could have saved in premium and in with their investments; no matter how bad it is...  if they are that illogical, it is the best thing they could have....  well good for them.  That's what I have to do, get to that mindset.  Once there, I'll be off and running, how about you?
