Greetings from this side. I hope all is well. Ever wondered what self-disappointment really is? Yes? No? Maybe? Good. It's high time we knew.
Tired of making resolutions that go nowhere? Tired of reaching for the stars to only land in the dirt; and tired of running in place? You can have a much happier life if you never disappoint yourself. Following some simple principles I would be mentioning would prevent most of your disappointments that end up ruining things in your life.
Never let other people define your success.
You need to define what success means to you. Success starts and ends with realizing that. What you want to accomplish matters more than what others want you to accomplish. And what you want to experience matters more than what others want you to experience. So long as you allow the expectations and opinions of others to dictate your career choices, you will suffer or struggle with internal conflict.
When you let other people put their expectations on you and define what success should look like for your life, you risk becoming miserable. You can’t experience success if you are being pulled around trying to align yourself with standards and career expectations that other people set.
To experience meaningful success, you must have the courage to go after what you want even when it might disappoint other people. To be successful, you first have to get real honest with yourself. Decide what you truly want to do with your personal life and professional career and make it your priority.
Don’t let the gap between where you are and where you want to be discourage you.
You’ll never get anywhere other than where you are right now if you don’t first get started. Don’t let the gap between where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow cause you to feel deflated.
And don’t let your own mind and negative thoughts stop you either.
Successful people know they can create a better life. They know they can have a better career, and you should know this too. You can own your power to create happiness and fulfillment for yourself. Yes—you have it within you. But first you have to ignore those who doubt you. Leave all the haters behind and take control of your own mind.
The difference between success and failure is often grit. And when you get up and put one foot in front of the other—even if you can only take baby steps—you are showing that you have the determination, persistence and grit necessary to change your whole life.
Of late, I have been feeling down because my points have not been going up.. I felt really sad but after reading one of my articles and motivations from a friend, @Dangerous_Fly , I felt motivated. Here is it if you haven't read it. https://read.cash/@ClDvor/what-to-do-when-you-have-no-motivation-f7ede17a. Hope you would also be motivated.
The real questions are:
Do you want what you want bad enough to take that first step?
Are you willing to go after that career even if it might disappoint someone else?
Do you want that big win bad enough to change your thinking and even your behavior?
Don’t give yesterday’s failures more power than tomorrow’s successes.
You might have made some big messes in your life. In order not to disappoint Yourself, work necessary to make amends where necessary and then make peace within yourself so you can create a different and better tomorrow.
Don’t let your past indiscretions, missteps or failures consume any more of your life than you’ve already given. Reflect on your failures, learn from them and then keep it moving or you risk allowing past regrets to overwhelm your ability to ever really achieve anything different and better for yourself.
It doesn’t matter. What you failed at yesterday doesn’t matter. What you never achieved, gave away—and even what you accomplished yesterday—doesn’t really matter. Realize that everyone struggles, but only the people who stand up and start have any chance of success.
Yesterday is in the past, tomorrow isn't promised but today is a gift, that is why it is called PRESENT.
Make the best out of everything and most importantly, Never Disappoint Yourself.
