Why You Aren’t Successful
If you have been struggling, trying to find your way to success, only to be met with failure and heartache, there could be a good reason why. When was the last time you took a look at your track record? Have you examined your actions, to try to find the weak link? There are many reasons why you might have not found success yet. Here are just a few...
You complain too much.
Do you whine and gripe about every little thing? Do you do what is asked of you, but complain about it the whole time you’re doing it? Complaining is a sure way to sidetrack your success. Instead of complaining all the time, start paying compliments to others. You are sure to notice a shift in your attitude.
You fail to see opportunity.
There are always opportunities around you. The problem is, you never seem them. Instead, you see lots of problems that stand in your way of reaching success. You view your world with pessimism. Stop being defensive and start finding the good in everything. Yes, you might have problems, but if you try hard enough, you can figure out a way to make those problems work to your advantage.
You don’t want to work for it.
Some people desire success but don’t want to work for it. Instead, they’d rather boss others around, or better yet, just not even work at all. Success will only come to those who put in the time and effort required to reach it.
You are too stingy.
How often do you give back to others? Do you hold everything you achieve so close that you squeeze the life out of it, rather than sharing your experience with others? A stingy person might become successful, but it will take much longer to get there. You have to learn how to give, in order to receive.
