YOU are the reason you are not ahead!
I have seen so many different posts lately about how this, that or the other is the reason a person is not further along in life, or as successful as they want to be. There are always a myriad of excuses and the finger is always pointed outwards.
Constant posts about how they can't get by and can't afford life. And how it isn't fair because so and so is holding them back and holding them down. Excuses, although they can be valid, are still excuses. I spent eleven years in prison. I have five felonies. I don't even have a high school diploma. I received my GED in prison. All excuses that I could use to justify not being able to get ahead, but here I am pushing close to six figures a year. I would rather be stronger than my excuses.
Yet the real culprit is YOU. You refuse to put in the work. You refuse to put in the time. You would rather complain about how the deck is stacked against you and play the victim. There are literally hundreds of millions of books, courses, videos, posts, ads, seminars etc that will teach you how to make millions of dollars. Choose one and follow it. The problem is these all require time, dedication, discipline and work. In the "instant gratification" mindset of today, finding people willing to put in the necessary work is difficult.
If you want to be better, you have to do better. Surround yourself with people who will push you and hold you accountable. Who will tell you the harsh truth, even if it isn't what you want to hear. Brutal honesty is better than sympathetic praise. I don't want someone telling "Great job doing the bare minimum." I want someone who is willing to tell me "Unacceptable. Do better."
If you want an extraordinary life, you have to be willing to put in extraordinary work. Be extraordinary.
