So you’ve read all the self-help books that will guide you to success. You read one and forget the last book you read. Here’s a summary of what you’ve read from all self-help books, some including :

They look for and find opportunities where others see nothing.

They find a lesson while others only see a problem.

They are solution focused.

They consciously and methodically create their own success, while others hope success will find them.

They are fearful like everyone else, but they are not controlled or limited by fear.

They ask the right questions - the ones which put them in a productive, creative, positive mindset and emotional state.

They rarely complain (waste of energy). All complaining does is put the complainer in a negative and unproductive state.

Now, if only i can apply some of their qualities to my life.

Have you seen the movie “Once“? The premise of this story is about someone talented who will create a masterpiece once other aspect of his life is complete. Sound familiar? We often make up excuses that kinda postpone your life. I’ll get a vacation once i bought a new sofa. I’ll write a book once my job is settled. Stop making foolish one. Some excuses can be seen in this post, including :

I Would be More Successful if My Job Weren’t as Boring. It’s not your employer’s fault now, is it? Did anyone force you to make that choice? Of course not! Assume responsibility and don’t be afraid to take action if you are convinced that you can change things for the better.

Stop making excuses to justify your laziness. Act now to pursue your dream.
