How To Be Unsuccessful

-
   


     What are you doing to be unsuccessful? Have you ever thought about why things don't work out in your favor? I've read a lot of things about how to be successful but what about the opposite?

1. ATTITUDE- Is it your attitude towards life and the people around you? A lot of people have isolated themselves from the world and don't even realize it. In your mind you feel like the world revolves around you but really you're getting left behind. "You can try to change but that's just the top layer, Man you was who you was before you got here", classic Jay Z line. And it holds truth. We act one way around certain people and another way around other people but it's only so long before the truth comes out. You can't hide who you are inside. So I'll ask again, what are you doing to be unsuccessful?

2. INTANGIBLES- Where's your drive? Where's your motivation? Where's your ability to listen? Where's your heart? The ability to pull yourself back up and grind for a come back. That's something you can't teach or buy online. Either you have it or you don't.

3. COMPLAINING- Why do we complain so much? It's always something. Too hot. Too cold. I'm tired. I'm sleepy. Headache. Back ache. Car needs gas. Don't feel like driving. Bills due. Hate my job. Hate my co workers. Hate my spouse. It's always something. Don't you get tired of saying you're tired? Stop complaining about every little thing life throws at you.

4. JEALOUSY- So you're telling me that you're mad because that person you don't like is getting blessed right now? But the reason you don't like them is the same way you act towards other people? But they should love you for who you are right? Wait on your season. What's for you is for you. But it's not going to be easy. You gotta grind for it. Envying the next person isn't going to get you any closer to your goals or dreams.

5. SELFISHNESS- This right here. This one? This one will give you a lot of sleepless nights. You'll just be awake for no reason and yet you'll be tired but can't fall asleep. Sometimes, not very often, we meet people who are very selfless. Very giving. Very humble. And people normally flock to this person. They have a welcoming spirit. And they're also the people who tend to be the subjects of a lot of jealousy. Not because they have everything on their life together, but because they carry themselves in a way that makes them seem unbothered. Why is that? I believe it is a sign of maturity and they get what life is about. It's about helping others and serving them. How can you expect others to help you when you live life inside your own bubble? Where everything all day, everyday, is about you and only you. Last time I checked, I dont think Jesus died for himself? I think he had other people in mind but I'll leave it at that. Where's your gratitude and service for others? Newsflash. You're not as good as you think you are! We all have flaws. We all have imperfections. How we use our platforms to get better and help others is what turns our flaws into strengths. Let that other person be great. It's not always about you.



     It's time we look at ourselves a little bit closer. We can't keep blaming everyone else for our mistakes. Take the blame and grow from it. Change your attitude. Develop a mindset that's unbreakable. Stop complaining. Let that jealousy go. Stop being selfish. Bottomline. Congratulate or Dissipate.

The Power of Patience

              I was in Wal mart picking up some last minute items for my lunch before I went to work. I walked in, picked up my rotisserie chicken and headed straight for the scan and go. As I walked up to it I heard an employee yell that the system just shut down. Meaning? All the registers in the store suddenly went into shut down mode and no one could check out. It's 4:30 am so it's not packed by any means but there were still a handful of people in the store. One of the guys proceeds to sit his items down and walk out of the store immediately. Another lady leaves her buggy of items by another register and leaves the store. Then there was another lady who slammed her things down on the counter and repeatedly asks how long will the system be down? The employee says she really doesn't know but is hopeful it'll be back up within the next few minutes. The lady asks is there another 24hr Wal Mart nearby and angrily storms out of the store while saying sh

Comfortable "A Gift and A Curse"

                                                      Doesn't it feel good? Waking up every morning to the chirping of birds? The rays from the sun hitting your face letting you know you're alive another day? Checking your bank account knowing your check just hit your account and your bills are already paid? Looking over at your imperfect perfect soul mate sleeping comfortably with the air or heat on? The comfortable life. We all dream about reaching that point where we can live comfortably without any worries. The day where we can cancel our gym memberships and just live freely. What a beautiful life. Retire and live out our dreams right? Get married and have a couple of wonderful kids and buy the perfect house? The American dream. How much does it cost to be comfortable? It costs a lot actually. Not only in money, but in time. Oh don't get me wrong, these things are definitely attainable but it will cost you. The question is, how much are you willing to pay? We

Give It Your All

             Quick story. I remember growing up and being scared of what others thought about me. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I would be terrified to walk in class late because I wouldn't want all the attention being on me. At times, I was afraid to do my best and actually succeed because it would bring an unwanted spotlight to my accomplishments. Crazy right. I did not like the spotlight. And I still don't. I've never been that guy and I don't think I ever will be. I'm such a "team" guy and often that hurts me individually because instead of stepping out and taking over, I blend in while knowing I can do more. It happens. It's a growing process. Lebron James. One of the greatest basketball players ever has often talked about this. His 2011 Finals loss to Dallas was his greatest failure. He let his team down and he let himself down. But from that moment, everything changed. He vowed to never go down without giving his all agai
