Many of us keep talking about how to achieve more and how to make it happen and how to be awesome... What about the flipside? What about what to do to really mess things up? Let me share the following 'Insider' secrets that will guarantee to mess it up, that have not been shared with anyone for eons!
Why do this? Because it's worth noting that we are human, and we all make mistakes.
Many of us keep talking about how to achieve our goals and how to make it happen and how to be awesome... What about the flipside? What about what to do to really mess things up? Let me share the following 'Insider' secrets that will guarantee to mess it up, that have not been shared with anyone for eons!
Why do this? Because it's worth noting that we are human, and we make mistakes, and we get in our own way sometimes even when we have the best intentions. Let's face it, for many of us this is true. In fact some people have years of NOT doing a %$#^&* thing about it to prove it.
So here it is: How to Make a Mess of It Without Even Trying
1. Keep your dreams a secret because you want to avoid anyone holding you accountable, so that way you don't have to really do anything, great way to play it safe, by the way. Now imagine you're 90, looking back, and it's too late to change any of it. As the old lade said, 'Most of the things I worried about never actually happened'.
2. In reverse, talk about what you're 'gunna' do and never actually do a thing, I know someone like this. It's like they reassure themselves that they're all good because they get to keep talking about tomorrow's plans the busiest day in their schedule!
3. Think and then over think all the things that are wrong with you so you feel so bad about yourself you don't want to do anything self-reflection has sprung up as what we should be doing these days, but really, there comes a point when I'm over me and my 'issues'.
4. Complaining always about your hard luck, so you don't have to take responsibility, the more successful I get, the luckier I get. Seems to me that luck is another word for sweat.
5. Never take responsibility for what happens or doesn't happen. The day one of my clients stopped blaming their parents, they got a life instead.
6. Forgetting your dreams and goals and just get through the day, like that's enough, are you 'too busy'? Want to improve your life? 'Too busy.' Want to learn something cool? 'Too busy.' That was me for 12 years. Had 12 years of failure too, but that's another story.
7. Sabotaging your efforts with getting yourself busy with stuff that doesn't matter nearly as much, but fills in the day with time fillers used to be my speciality. I could make housework last two days if I did it right. Now I'm okay with dust, and more concerned with making a difference.
Something to think about, perhaps, on a clear blue day when it's hard to think of one excuse for why we're not getting up and doing that secret dream...
