5 Thoughts For The Day
I accidentally got up 1 hour earlier than usual this morning. This has promted me to list my top 5 reasons why I believe many people may not be as far along the path towards blissful contentment as they could or should be.
people are too easily distracted by shiny object syndrome:-
The fastest and easiest way to become disheartend is because of failure. Failure is of course a result of the 'thing' you bought into having not worked as described. We are bombarded daily by promises of riches from all quarters. The fact that too many people can't resist cleverly marketed 'get rich quick' schemes, results in further failure. It is true to say that falling for a slick sales pitch accounts for an awful lot of naysayers who claim this online stuff doesn't work. Tip - Simply adhere to truism that alers you to the fact that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
people as a whole aren't willing to play the long game:-
The reason for much failure and unhapiness in my opinion is impatience. Without wishing to resort to cliche, its true, Rome wasn't built in a day. Many of the emails in our inbox, and YouTube video adds tell of the millions we can earn in 30 days at the most. The reality is that any venture, especially online, will take time and will start slowly. Whatever business you start will eventually start bear fruit if you follow your WA training, and are willing to wait. Tip - Be consistent, and don't give up if its not happening right away. Whatever you try, give it at least 12 months.
people are generally unable to cope with overwhelm:-
It is a sad fact that too many people are willing to give up when it gets a little difficult. This is especially true when faced with learning something new. WA is a perfect example. Because there is such a lot to take in, and it is all too much to process, many just give up. There is so much to take when encountering anything new. Tip - You can't take in everything all at once. Learning small, bite-sized pieces of a particular process or method is recommended. Only move on to the next bite-sized piece when you've mastered the first.
people don't control events, events contol them:-
'If you fail to plan you are planning to fail'. This often quoted saying is the crux of why so many struggle today. If you are constantly reacting to every cause that happens to affect your daily progess, you can never assure continual forward momentum. If you don't know which direction you're going to take before you reach the crossroads, you only end up going round in circles. Tip - Only ever deal with situations whereby its outcome is dictated by you, not other.
people confuse pleasure with happiness/contentment:-
Having fun after a strenuous and stressful week of dealing with people's ideosyncrasies and often selfish, angry outbursts, is sadly the norm for a lot people. Unwinding at the weekend whilst imbibing (usually to excess) whatever your choice of poison is, following the weekly 9-5 grind, is all too common. Temporary pleasures that temporarily blots out reality are not the answer to your problems. Tip - start aiming to achieve small daily targets. Keep an even balance when encountering successes and failures.
Too your continued success.
Stay safe.
