Yes it's that Simple!
If you would like to earn respect from your peers, and your boss. If you want to be more successful in life, money and love, then quite simply you've got to start doing what successful people do and stop doing what they don't do.
If you pay attention to any highly successful, powerful individual you will notice that they do not spend any time on complaining (particularly about things outside of their control) or do they spend any effort explaining themselves.
Bring to mind an individual that you know as a complainer, maybe they work for the same company as you do, maybe they're a relative. Now think about how you and others feel about this person. Do you look forward to talking to them? do you think to yourself "Wow so and so sure has got it together" No way! We avoid "complainers" like the plague. Some of us go so far as to say that complainers actually "suck the energy right out of us". Yet at the same time so many of us engage in this absolutely futile behaviour. Well actually it isn't completely futile, complaining does accomlish something, read on and I'll explain.
Of course we have the "chronic complainers", and I'm certain that many of you quite simply will dismiss yourselves as a "complainer" because you're complaining isn't "chronic" I tell you this my friends, complaining is complaining. The very act of complaining is absolutely non congruent with the process of creating success for yourself. Look at it this way; we know for a fact that every action we take will create a result. The question then becomes "What results will I create from complaining?" It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell you that the act of complaining will result in diminishing your personal power and ultimately rob you of your ability to create success.
"Explaining"
Of course there is this "explaining" that so many of us have been conditioned to do every time we don't do something we said we would, or something we are expected to do. Please understand this; I am by no means suggesting that you in any way not take responsibility for your actions. On the contrary, I am suggesting that you in addition to taking full responsibility for your actions you become fully accountable for your actions by not providing excuses (explaining) why you did or didn't do what you were "suppose" to. Ouch!
In keeping with the theme of creating respect and success, have a look at this scenario and you decide which is more powerful:
You walk into work late, there was a snowstorm, traffic was a disaster and it took you almost an hour to get out of your driveway.
Scenario a) You say to your boss " Oh my goodness. I am so sorry I'm late, you just wouldn't believe what I had to go through to get here. My driveway was piled sky high and then traffic was crazy, there must have been four accidents..."
Scenario b) You say to your boss " I apologize for being late, if you'd like I am willing to make up the time"
Well which one sounds more powerful to you?
People, if you want to be more sucessful in life, money and love then you've got to start doing what successful people do, and stop doing what they don't do.
To your sanity my friends,
