Stop with the self-sabotage
The ways to self-sabotage yourself are endless.
People do all different ones every day. Sometimes they realize it, sometimes they don’t.
There is one behavior that most people do every day that affects their success the most.
It is expecting others to support you.
I don’t mean that you should never seek help or look for people to learn from.
You can’t do it all by yourself. There will come a time when the only way for you to progress is to have the right people around you.
What I’m saying is that you can’t expect anything from anyone.
This is the downfall of many people.
Sometimes you expect a family member or close friend to help you out of your darkest times. You think everything will work out because they are around.
That no matter what happens, you will have that particular person to fall back on. They will surely be the ones to drag you from the abyss and save you from eternal damnation.
The problem with this is that it doesn't happen.
The only person who you can 100% count on is yourself.
Aside from that, you can never be sure of anyone else. They may talk a big game but when it comes time for them to show up, they are nowhere to be found.
Always remember this.
You are your own savior and executioner.
You are responsible for your life.
You have the power to either set yourself up for success or lead yourself down a path of failure.
Don’t get used to asking for help. Even if you get a yes here and there, make sure you don’t become reliant on someone else.
This will surely lead to disappointment.
Appreciate the help at the moment. Thank the person and move on.
Realize that next time you are in that situation that person might not be there. This means you need to learn how to do it yourself next time so that you can become independent.
The less you need to rely on other people, the more powerful you become.
Those who need other people are the ones that are powerless. They will be forced to bend to the will of others so that they may survive.
Don’t let this be you.
Don’t expect anything from anyone.
