Midnight Thought on Economics: This Chicken is Crossing

When the moon is full it can be difficult to avoid crushing the large coconut crabs as they slowly make their way across the roads at night. I was faced with this particular challenge last night, and of course it brought the hackneyed chicken-crossing-the-road joke to mind.

In a weird instant, I thought to myself, "To get to the other side!"

The other side.

I've been professing, publicly and privately, that, by next year or a year from now, I want my life to be drastically different. I want my finances to be better than ever before. I realized I am trying to get to the other side of the road of success. 

Why would I stay on this side, when I could get to the other side?

I thought about how chickens (and crabs, if you live where I live) get hit by cars in the midst of their journey, and yet, they must attempt to cross the road. They have to get to the other side.
I have to get to the other side. No matter the magnitude of the perils I might face on the way there.
