Ever wondered why other people seem more 'lucky' than you?
I always felt that my "face didn't fit" in one of my old jobs. I knew that, whatever I did...it would never be quite good enough.
Shame really.
Shame that I was so narrow-minded, that is!
You see...it's easy to look at other people and complain about why they do this...or get that literally fall into their laps.
When you compare yourself against ANYBODY...guess who's going to come out second-best?
Yep. You are. Every time. It's human nature!
In my old job...I forgot about the reasons WHY I didn't fit in as well as I should have...and instead focused on being jealous of the other people who did!
How negative is that?
And...because I was constantly focusing on the negative...instead of working on ME...guess what I attracted?
More of the same!
One of the hardest things I have had to face up to as I have grown as a person is to be able to accept 100% RESPONSIBILITY for what happens to me.
It's easy to blame people who won't spend money...or to blame mailing list providers when subscribers get sent two copies of an ezine.
Believe me...I always used to!
Now...I just accept that I don't have control over what I don't have control over...and just get on with doing what I DO have control over to the best of my ability.
- There will ALWAYS be people who have more 'luck' than you.
- There will ALWAYS be people who earn more money than you.
- There will ALWAYS be people who can 'get away with it' when you can't.
- There will ALWAYS be people who find things 'easy' when you don't.
Get over it.
It's YOU that you should be concerned about...not THEM!
