How long can you stand it?
“Stand what?” you ask.
“Your self development dissatisfaction…” I reply.
Many people seeking self-development and business building help are in ruts or drifting without aim. They are looking for direction and help and are dissatisfied with themselves and their self-development. Sure, there are many who also read everything they can because they are “students of the game”. But I think most people aren’t far enough along the learning curve to really be students of the game yet.
So I ask those “non-students”, and some students too, how long can you stand to be in your current situation? How long before you have had enough and will do whatever it takes to change… to create success in your life?
As I have moved from not knowing where I was going to having a definite vision and set of goals for my future, I have noticed that the major leaps forward or the major life-changing events almost always happened as a result of not being willing to take any more of my current circumstances.
Have you ever gotten fed up with a job that you quit or started looking immediately?
Have you ever gotten so ticked off that something wasn’t working that you devoted all your efforts to MAKING it work?
These situations have 1 thing in common. Strong emotions. Emotions that mean you are no longer willing to accept the status quo. You would no longer take whatever comes your way. You would do anything to change it.
When you are like this, the world better watch out!
When you just accept what happens and believe you are doing the best you can “under the circumstances” YOU had better watch out!
Napolean Hill talked about Inspirational Dissatisfaction in Think and Grow Rich. I think this is one of the best ideas ever. At some point just about everyone gets fed up with something in life, especially if it affects your quality of life and your family’s.
That is when Inspirational Dissatisfaction can come into play. You get fed up and your mind starts working on a way to get out, to get better or to get ahead. You start moving in a new direction because you were no longer willing to live with it.
So, how much longer can YOU stand it?
