TEN THINGS PEOPLE DO TO FAIL ON PURPOSE
1.
They don’t understand the value of time.
“Any successful entrepreneur knows
that time is more valuable than money itself.” – Richard Branson
Unsuccessful people don’t value
their time. They are everywhere, anywhere, anytime because they lack the
ability to dedicate their time towards their goals. And year after year they
make new promises which never come to fruition simply because they couldn’t be
bothered to put in the time required towards their goals. Time management
skills, learning how to say no and knowing what commitments to undertake, is a
step towards great success in any area of our lives. follow me on twitter @soladoyinbosam
2.
They don’t do things that are in alignment with their goals
“It’s not hard to make decisions
when you know what your values are.” – Roy Disney.
The more important a goal is, the
higher it will be on your hierarchy of values and the more discipline and order
you will have associated with it. The less important a goal is, the lower it
will be on your hierarchy of values and the less discipline and more disorder
you’ll have associated with it. Unsuccessful people have mistaken busyness
with productivity. They are a part of everything but nothing which they do
is in alignment to their values and their goals. Writing down in a journal
what your gaols are and implementing strategies which can get you there will
help you identify things that are not on par with where you are going.
3.
They never step up to the platehttp://samolad.bestgalleries.me/4188782-9267163
“People seem to think that success
in one area can compensate for failure in other areas, but can it really? True
effectiveness requires balance” – Stephen Covey .......follow me on twitter @soladoyinbosam
So your boss sucks and you really
hate your job but this is no reason to slack and produce mediocre work. You’re
getting paid to be there so do it right, life has this universal law of giving
you what you put in. It’s just maturity and wisdom to pursuit excellence no
matter the circumstances. Unsuccessful people are the ones who are okay with
getting bad grades and won’t bother finding an effective studying method that
will help their learning ability, because after all, being a student of
distinction is less about how smart you are but more about how well you can
plan and prepare, and that makes you feel smarter and that in itself produces
great results......follow me on twitter @soladoyinbosam....

They have self-imposed limitationsClick this image to be awesome http://samolad.bestgalleries.me/4188782-9213845
“You are what you are by what you
believe” – Oprah Winfrey
Unsuccessful people tend to say
things like “I’m just not good with numbers”, “I just really hate studying”,
and “I just don’t think I can run a successful business”. They put limits on
themselves and excuse their behaviour but it’s really just a way of
underachieving and aiming low enough to not miss. Get rid of the idea that you
only have a specific set of skills and talents for specific tasks, stop
thinking that you’re not as intelligent as the next person. What life requires
of you is to make the most of yourself, for yourself, and for other
5.
They are good at making excuses
“If you can’t make it good, at least
make it look good” – Bill Gates
These are the people who will find
reasons and logic as to why they can’t and why they shouldn’t. They
sometimes mistake this abhorrent tendency for “just being realistic”. They lack
imagination and always find ways to justify why something shouldn’t be but they
never really try. The best remedy for this is to stop your mind when it’s about
to start making the excuses and re-ignite the engine that has started it all.
6.
They lack class
“You can easily judge the character
of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.” ― Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe
Unsuccessful people usually tend to
have no social IQ. They say things like “well at least I’m being honest” or
“this is how I am, deal with it”. They don’t know how to treat other people and
tend to be arrogant, for no apparent reasons most of the time. Nobody likes a
big mouth, a show off, a humble boaster, or people who don’t know how to just
say thank you when given a compliment. These traits are unbecoming and are not
what true class acts are made of. Being nice and polite to people you like is
easy, being nice and polite to someone you cannot tolerate or who you
are in constant disagreement with – that is character. Learning how to
speak to people is a skill only few have mastered. It has been said the best
way to test a man’s character is by watching how he acts when standing in a
very long queue and is met with bad service, how he handles Christmas lights
and his reaction when you ruin their expensive items.
7.
They are procrastinators
“Only put off until tomorrow what
you are willing to die having left undone” ― Pablo Picasso
The funny thing about this one is
that they are usually self-proclaimed procrastinators. They see no shame in it.
This goes back to them never understanding the value of time. They are
okay with living a life that keeps up with yesterday. They live life as though
they just have another one in the bank. Let’s just see how round one goes and
if all else fails we press next or rewind or pause. Understanding that you
start dying the moment you are born and wisdom to realize
that every day is a gift and you owe it to yourself to do everything
you can do in those twenty four hours because nothing’s ever promised today
tomorrow.
8.
They don’t’ take actionhttp://samolad.bestgalleries.me/4188782-9267163
“Do something today, your future
self will thank you for” – Les Brown
The simplicity of this rule of life
may be why they disregard the magnitude of its effects. Unsuccessful people
tend to ponder and leave footprints in the sands of time. They can talk a great
game and they dream really big but they lack the courage to just go forth. Stop
dreaming about what will be, dreams in themselves are not bad but get up, show
up and DO something. Stop with the coffee shop meetings and go do something.
9.
They can’t face adversity
“All sunshine and no rain makes a dessert”
– Arabian Proverb
There was a shepherd boy, he was not
a warrior and he was small in size. He looked at a giant and said “I will
strike you down and cut off your head” and that is exactly what he did. The
thing with challenges is, they’re only as big as we make them seem and as
strong as our weakness will allow. Unsuccessful people have not understood this
and they give up all too quickly because things got uncomfortable, things got a
little bit rough, they want roses without the thorns, babies without labour and
a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow without bearing the storm. Overcoming
challenges not only bring us closer to our goals but they turn us into someone
we never imagined existed. Don’t be afraid to conquer fears and to enter new
territory, step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself. In the midst
of adversity courage is born. You’ll never know how strong you are if you’ve
never had to fight and sometimes you might fail but at least you failed and
proved to Goliath that he wasn’t quite the Giant he thought he was.
10.
They are apathetichttp://samolad.bestgalleries.me/4223312-35252
“So, because you are lukewarm, and
neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth” -Revelation 3:16
Yes there are natural fence sitters.
They never have an opinion about anything, they can’t make decisions and are
over the border plain ignorant. They can’t hold smart conversations and are not
open minded if it isn’t directly in relation to what they know. They think
everyone should view life the way they view it. They are indifferent about everything
and stand for nothing. They don’t read, they don’t educate themselves past
“formal education” and they put no effort into how they present themselves.
Even if they never achieve their highest potential this is okay with them
because in a world so full of wonder and curiosity they have managed to find a
way to be bored. Apathy is a silent killer. Find something that you are
passionate about, even if you don’t get paid for it. Put your gift to use.
The people who are out there making
things happen are not as extraordinary as we make them ought to be. They’re
pretty plain and most of the time after a second glance they’re not all
that exceptional in any way but they’ve managed to get to where they are and
stay there because they mastered the art of discipline and being the right
person at the right time. Maybe you have so many things you want to complete
and sometimes you feel so overwhelmed because, there’s just not enough time.
Put the cell phone down, log off once in a while and stop minding everybody’s
business and you’ll be amazed at the potential you’ll unlock.
