HELLO SUCCESSFUL INDIVIDUAL! Welcome to today's edition of our series. As introduced yesterday, this series will run through for one week. Let the countdown begin! It's Five days to go. I hope this post motivates you to bring about a change in your life.
THE GOLDEN LIST OF PEOPLE WHO WILL NEVER SUCCEED.
There are hundreds, even thousands of old people today who are regretful about the kind of life they lived while they were youths; this explains their strictness towards young people.
Youthful age is a very delicate age. It is the age that determines whether or not you will become regretful in the future, depending on how "properly aligned" you are.
Every decision youths take in life is geared towards lifetime Success and there are sets of attributes that are common among youths that hinder us from being successful in life.
I have highlighted these attributes as persons, so that we can check ourselves to see if we fall under any if these categories. Sit tight!
(1) THE COMPLAINER- This young man chooses to dwell on the bad side of situations. Even when something good happens, he blinds himself to it and picks out something to complain about instead. If you ask him if he has had something to eat today, his reply will be: "Yes, i have eaten rice, but it was very little, it even had a bitter taste". Note that complainers aren't people who are unlucky or bad things always happen to them; they are just people who are ungrateful for the good things and accusers of the bad things.
Complaints repel success. Complainers never succeed unless they change, so choose to dwell on the positive side. QUIT COMPLAINING.
(2) THE BLAMER- This young lady likes to play the "Blame game" like her mother, Eve.
Take responsibility for an action even when you're not expected to. It will build you up for success. Taking responsibility also saves the day. Adetola was supposed to prepare dinner for her family before 7pm but she fails to do so, and her mum asks her why she didn't do as expected, Adetola as a blamer says "Mummy, Bola didn't buy the kerosene in time". Adetola can only give that excuse as a blamer, otherwise, she would have gotten the Kerosene herself or made sure it arrived in time. The instruction was to get the rice cooked, nobody cares how she gets the kerosene. Blamers are excuse givers. The fact that your excuse is valid doesn't make you any less a Blamer.
So, to succeed in life, quit playing the "blame game". Take responsibility for your actions or inactions. Don't point fingers. Even when people refuse to take responsibility for their actions/inactions, right the wrongs. You're simply training yourself for success. So sweetheart, QUIT PLAYING THE BLAME GAME.
(3) THE CRITIC- This young man always criticize people's actions with the the mentality that he can do better than them, which is mostly false. He is blinded to the fact that "you cannot rise above the people you continually criticize". That's a principle in criticism. Note that i'm not talking about people who are critics by profession, i.e, those who judge people's work to help them improve.
When you always see only the negatives in people, it will deter your own success.
Learn to look for the positives in people. Naturally, our minds want to focus on the negative side, but we must be disciplined enough to consciously look away.
As bad as people may be, there is an iota of good in them. QUIT CRITICIZING.
