Posted in Advice  |  6 Comments

What are the most common “drag you down, get in the way of success” thoughts?

  • Defeatist (accepting, expecting, or being resigned to defeat)
  • Cynical (contemptuously distrustful of human nature and motives)
  • Vindictive (seeking revenge)
  • Blame/ Fault (who cares? what are we going to do now?)
  • Wishful (do what you can to influence the deal and keep moving)
  • Self-pity (get over yourself… complain less… especially to yourself)
  • Worrisome (it won’t help, costs time, and can drag you down)
  • Jealous (want it? earn it)
  • Pre-argumentative (the imaginary argument you have to prepare yourself for the argument that may never happen)
  • Post-argumentative (the imaginary argument you have where you’re quicker than you were in the actual argument)
  • Procrastinatory (if you’re going to procrastinate, you might as well do something fun instead of thinking about how bad it is that you’re procrastinating… dummy)
