Mindset
Personal freedom search is long battle that to fight needs understanding and courage. Yesterday we covered 6 things to watch that pulls us back in our pursuit of freedom. Today we finish this discussion with the remaining 4.
7. The blame game: You are busy finding other people or conditions as responsible for your failures instead of being accountable to your choices and decisions. Though it may be true that you need other people for your success, you have the sole responsibility of learning, choosing what is suitable for you and take actions. Instead of complaining when you don’t get help you think you deserve to get, you should be looking for alternatives to solve your problems yourself with what you have, remember you can always adjust yourself. It may be difficult to change others, but it is easy to control who you are, what you have and your thoughts.
8. The ‘normally this is how we do it’ behaviour: You may have fallen in the trap of doing things without reasoning enough on their relevance to you and your dreams. This behaviour makes some people fear to accept change because even though the changes are positive, they are not what the person ‘usually does’ or that is not the common way people think. To such people, the extra ordinary things are just bad.
9. Not being yourself: You don’t have time and courage to define yourself, your dreams and principles. You may have fear to stand up and show what you believe, and too weak to make your own choices. You let others dictate what you should wear, what to eat, where you should be on weekends, what type of love partner you should have, even what comments and status you should post on facebook! etc
10. The people that surround you: Watch out the people you associate yourself with. Do you ‘speak the same language’? By ‘speaking the same language’ I mean do you share common goals, interests or at least can positively impact your life? Watch this factor closely as Dan Sullivan correctly suggested:
“Success comes from two things the thoughts that occupy your mind and the people that you surround yourself with”.
