Today, we discuss how you can be unsuccessful in your life. If you just follow my simple steps, you can have all of the success in the world!
I heard something the other day that I wanted to share, it was that successful people will work all day, and at the end of the day say they haven’t done enough. Unsuccessful people will do their normal routine and sit around all evening and say they’re overworked and have no time to do anything
Which party is right?
- The unsuccessful person stays up late, playing video games or watching TV. They wake up as late as possible, pressing snooze as often as able. They roll out of bed, and head to work, or school. They go through the motions and get back at 5 or 6. They have dinner and they have the rest of their night ahead of them, they turn on the TV, they play video games or they go out drinking with friends. Their lawn needs to be mowed, they have unfinished projects that they’ve been too busy to do for months and they have ideas that they just don’t have time to work on. They stay up as late as possible, doing nothing, filling their time with any mindless, moderately entertaining task they can. They go to bed late, then repeat. On weekends, they don’t have time either, they hang out with friends, leaving homework unfinished and chores and projects for a later date. They watch shows all day, play videos until their head hurts, and only do chores when they MUST, their lawn has grown so tall that you couldn’t see a human laying down in it, or their homework is to do that next morning. They waste their day and at night say, I deserve a break. But they didn’t do anything. But, they don’t have much time.
- The successful person gets up early, an hour or two or three before work. They get up when their alarm goes off, they might meditate, read, or do housework, perhaps they work on side projects they’ve just started. They have breakfast and coffee and head to work, they arrive on time, work, and get home at 6. They have dinner and at 7, they mow their lawn, they work on their projects, they read, they clean, then they plan their next day. Around 10 or 11, they turn on the TV and relax. On weekends, they get up early, but they do sleep in an hour, they start their day with chores or homework, fixing this and that, working on their side projects and they keep at it until the evening. They go out with friends, they relax and watch TV and they do so at 5 or 6 PM. They deserve it, they don’t have much time.
- Which person are you? Where do you think each person will end up? I have a hunch…
