In the past 2 days I have run into 3 people who think that other people have advantages over them and think that gets in the way of attaining success.
Why do they fail?
As tempted as I am to write a long post ranting about this I am going to keep it simple.
Here are the things successful people never do:
1 Worry about how easy it is for other people. They get that the only thing that can control is their effort. They are self focused on what they need to work on in order to improve.
2 Dwell on what advantages other people have had to get where they are. They focus on what resources they have and how they can leverage those resources to make progress.
3 Blame others for their failure. Instead they take responsibility what how they contributed to where they are and what went wrong. By doing this they can see where they need to improve the next time.
4 Begrudge the success of others. Rather than moan about how someone else is getting paid more that they are. Instead they are happy for the success of others and are inspired by it.
So look at those things. Doing any ONE of them will sabotage ANY efforts you are making to succeed.
If you remember nothing else remember these 4 words from each side.
Success: Focused, Leverage, Responsibility, Inspired
VS
Failure: Worry, Dwell, Blame, Begrudge
Is it not obvious why some people succeed and why others fail?
The best part… you get to choose… choose wisely!
