Complaints/Excuses that’s Make you Powerless and portray you as a Fool !
Are
you a complainer?
Are you constantly “unsatisfied” with
most people, places, and things?
Does it seem like the world is just one
being chore constantly getting in the way of your plans?
Do other people become obstacles to
your successes, rather than harmonious assistants to them?
Have you ever stopped and thought for a
moment that YOU may perhaps be a larger part of the equation than you care to
admit?
Below are five popular excuses which do
nothing except rob you of your personal power (while simultaneously making you
look like a fool):
5. I Don’t Have Time for That!
Really?
You don’t have time for constructive activities that better not only your
personal quality of life, but that of those who associate with you?
If
you don’t have time to increase the quality of your life, then what the hell DO
you have time for?!
You
don’t have time to take care of your body, cook real food, or establish
meaningful relationships with new and exciting people because, why again,
exactly?
Because
you’d rather play Xbox for five hours a day instead of going outside for a
30 minute walk or run?
Because
you’d rather stay late and talk with co-workers about drama instead of
preparing a delicious, nutrition-packed dinner for yourself (and/or your
spouse)?
Because
you’d rather sit on FaceBook and artificially communicate with people who live
two houses down from you – and then wonder why you feel empty and despondent
inside so often?
Do
you compound this issue by using kids or rowdy siblings as an excuse?
Remaining
up to your ears in pseudo-busy work is a convenient – and sad – method to
avoid facing the truth.
4. I Don’t Have Money for That!
This
might be the only semi-legitimate excuse on this list, but it’s still flawed
for a few really good reasons.
First
of all, money will appear to control your life from all sides until you learn
to disconnect your emotional detachment from that which it appears to
secure.
In
English, this means becoming conscious of the fact that money isn’t
what’s actually “buying” you anything; it’s the value you provide to
society which produces and provides your income.
This
value you provide is
the result of
the job you do.
Your
job isn’t giving you money.
People who find value in what you do are
giving your employer money, who then takes their rightful cut, and then pays
you with some of the remainder.
Jobs
don’t create income.
Value
creates income.
You
don’t need a job to provide value. This means you don’t need a job to generate
income for yourself, either.
This
is one of the most insidious aspects of social programming; mutual exclusivity.
If
you find yourself constantly short on money, reevaluate your current position.
What
are you providing to the rest of humanity? Are you genuinely doing work in a
field you feel inspired by, or are you just defaulting to uninspiring work out
of fear of failure, to avoid debt, etc?
Now,
a deeper question: is money the driving mechanism behind why you’d choose one
field of work over another?
If
money is your prime motivator, it’s no wonder you find it difficult to get out
of your current stuck-ness.
Money
by itself is an incredibly weak motivator (yes, even for people who claim it’s
a strong one/their biggest motivator).
You
know this is absolutely true, because if I offered you a choice between two
jobs paying the same rate, and one involved your passion, you’d choose that one
instantly. The other path will pay you the same, but the work – the state of
being you’ll be occupying – for 8 hours a day is entirely different.
It’s
actually this state of being you’re after – NOT money.
Money
is secondary to following your path with a heart.
You
can deny this all you want; go ahead and live another 5 years exactly as you
have been, and get back to me with how that works out.
If
you want to earn more money, you need to begin providing more value.
Nobody
is stopping you from succeeding in this life. You and only you are your
greatest asset and liability. The more you learn to control your assets (such
as conscious awareness, choice, and intelligence), the less you’ll be liable to
boring, stale, and uninspiring circumstances and situations.
If
you still think this isn’t feasible, keep reading…
3. The World is Unfair. There’s No
Point in Trying.
The
world isn’t unfair.
It’s
YOU who isn’t consciously strong enough to embrace how that naturally-occurring
external resistance is necessary for fulfilling growth.
The world only appears to be unfair because there are billions of human beings, all at different levels of conscious awareness, all striving for different goals in different ways.
This
naturally leads to instances where people with more courage and/or a thicker
skin will accomplish things some people might never even attempt in a million
years. Nothing is stopping anyone from either group from working on themselves
and conquering their fears.
The
former group is just behaving as comes naturally to them, while the second
group often views such people as greedy, lacking empathy, and acting inhuman.
The
former group also sees the latter group as being timid, cowardly, and terrified
of their own shadow. Grossly exaggerated stereotypes abound from both sides,
making it even more of a mess to sift through.
The
world is full of people who insist that things are falling apart.
These
same people are almost always the people who keep showing up to vote, blindly
obey authority figures, continue to buy products and services which reinforce
the social prison (that they apparently
only have the eyes to see) – and then bitch endlessly when things don’t change
or continue to get worse.
Talk
about unconsciously choosing to perpetuate.
“Assume,
Consume, Resume” may as well be their campaign mantra. (Hmmm…maybe I should
make some t-shirts)
2. I Don’t Know How
This
one’s almost the
top excuse.
I
say almost, because people love to make this one a mess by insisting that money
needs to be involved.
The
issue here is, in the information age, “I don’t know how” isn’t a valid excuse
anymore.
You
most likely have a phone in your pocket that’s more powerful than the best
computer available in 1990. You have a portable search engine on you 24/7…and
you still “don’t
know how”?
Of course, we are not implying that you educate yourself via your cell phone (it’s possible, though!); my point was there’s an internet connection at most places, and you can get a damn good head start on just about any topic by making use of it.
If
you can’t learn it on the internet, the internet will point you to a source
that will allow
you to learn it.
This
doesn’t even take into account formal education, which is still always another
option.
Another
favorite excuse is to use your particular field of knowledge as a reason to
procrastinate:
“I just gotta wait six more months until I can get into that over-booked
nursing program”,
and/or “I
can’t do anything until July, so I’m just going to sit around and waste time
until then – instead of getting a head-start, filling in the cracks of my
current knowledge, and possibly come to the realization that this isn’t even
the field I want to be in”.
Nobody
is stopping you from increasing your current levels of knowledge other than
yourself. You can throw all the external blame around that you want, but at
least be mature enough to recognize that this solves nothing.
But
when all else fails, there’s always one good old reliable excuse to fall back
on…
1. …But, But, But…The Government!
It’s
the Government! They control everything! We can’t truly be free until we
prevent GMOs, RFID chips, and a one-world oligarchy! Wake up, you stupid
sheeple!
Does
the above sound familiar? These are the all-too-familar rants of conspiracy
consciousness, of which far too many people become ensnared.
As
is a common trait of becoming more conscious, people at this level naively
assume that other people haven’t thought of or noticed the ills of the world to
the degree that that have. They can’t fathom how intelligent people can be
aware of potential dangers in the world, and just keep right on living their
lives.
There’s
a reason it seems like nobody cares for conspiracy theories.
This
is because it’s not the government.
It’s YOU.
This
is the number one complaint on this list, because people assume it’s reasonable
to project your dissatisfaction with life onto an authority figure, then
complain when said authority figure does nothing about it.
This
is convenient…because it lets you avoid having to take full responsibility for
your life.
“If only the government could get the deficit problem solved, then I can
really get going on my goals!”
Look
at it this way: if there was a huge
conspiracy, one of the greatest threats to it would be people refusing to
allow it to interfere with their own personal/spiritual evolution.
All
of that stuff is one huge distraction.
The
people who complain about the world like it’s a boxing match that needs to be
won before we can sit down and eat our meals, are in truth absolutely terrified
of their own power. You know this is true, because they display the blatant,
most basic signs of psychological turmoil.
Being
afraid of your own power is the root cause of all the symptoms which create
complaining in the first place.
Solution
Subconsciously
fearing your true power is the biggest barrier for most people.
You
can laugh all you want at that, but I guarantee somewhere deep inside, you
actually fear what would happen if you became a millionaire.
What
would your family think? How would they treat you? How many of your friends
would suddenly only start talking to you when you could throw them a few grand?
What about people who don’t think you deserve that kind of money? How will you
handle that sort of criticism?
The
easiest way to handle that level of criticism is to avoid it entirely. Since
this is the easiest option, avoidance is precisely what everyone does.
This
avoidance is also why so many people end up depressed, listless, and apathetic
toward life in general.
The
issue here is that the more you fear your own power, the more you’re going to
rationalize not taking action in exciting and empowering directions in this
life.
You
can give up your ability to choose, but you can never give up your
responsibility for doing so.
You
and you alone must endure any and all consequences and results you create in
this life, so why leave those results up to other people with other agendas?
Why
would you let a conspiracy (if there is one) stop you?
If
the ship’s already sinking, as so many claim, why wouldn’t you
begin prioritizing your own growth?
Are
you using the excuse of altruism to “take care of the rest of the world first”
before working on yourself?
Don’t
you realize that the secret to changing the world lies in first changing
yourself?
If
you’re not working on yourself for the betterment of both you and humanity at
large, what are you doing…?
Are
you waiting for permission to get started? Get going!
