There is a common foible that many suffer from, and I am as guilty as any. It seems to be in our culture because I learnt this bad trait from those I was surrounded with when growing up.
It is far easier to complain about something and blame circumstances on someone or something else, instead of accepting how it is and finding a solution.
This is one major change I have had to make since moving from being an employee to an entrepreneur.
This was summed up many years ago by the ultra-successful Henry Ford when he said:
"Don't find a fault, find a remedy. Anyone can complain"
Unless you have made the conscious choice to surround yourself with positive people, you probably encounter these comments or conversations quite often.
As a budding entrepreneur and business owner, I approach adverse situations very differently than I did a few short years ago.
Nowadays, I see every trying situation as an opportunity to grow, an opportunity to learn something new. Of course there are times when I'm in a hurry and I get frustrated, but once I remind myself of the bigger picture, I accept the situation for what it is.
So here's my challenge for you. How do you approach such challenges in life?
I am not judging here, and don't make yourself bad for the way you are. But this is an opportunity for personal growth.
If we are not growing, we are dying. A simple but very profound statement made by someone notable.
When we complain and put the blame on something outside of us, we are giving our power away. Although it may feel good temporarily, it does not solve anything.
In fact, by giving your power away to that external situation, person or thing, your power slowly diminishes.
Now to reach success in whatever form that is for you, you must be empowered. You must have belief in your own power and trust in it.
Once you have taken ownership of the situation and subsequently resolved it, you can enjoy the feeling that you have overcome it, and should you come across it again, you will have the skills and resolve to successfully tackle it any time in the future.
As you develop this positive mindset, you will become empowered and realise that nothing can stop your success. No problem is insurmountable. It is just a matter of time.
But it all starts with awareness, and being willing to make that mindset shift. One step at a time.
Empowering you to create your best life,
Scott
