Patterns determine destiny

If you’re constantly complaining, people will often become annoyed with you.

If you’re spending a lot of time endlessly explaining things, people will often become bored with you.

If you’re angry all the time, people will often ignore you.

If you can’t say yes, and won’t say no, people will often not trust you.

If you regularly break agreements, people will often lose all respect for you.

If you’re oblivious to your public identity, people will often pity you without you even being aware of it.

If you insist on confusing your feelings for facts, people will often refer to you as delusional.

If you pretend you’re content while producing limited results, people will often judge you to be a liar.

If you keep showing up scattered and unprepared, people will simply cancel your vote.

The above patterns will keep you stuck or lamely going through the motions.

The above patterns will keep you average at best.

You can’t afford to be average in a post-pandemic, high inflation world.

Your life will be miserable.

You will resist being miserable.

And your resistance will make things worse.

 

Know that:

People who say, who they will be, and actually be it are rare.

People who say, what they will do, and actually do it are rare.

People who are both are God.

By God I mean an outlier. Someone whose results far exceed industry averages.

To rise above a mediocre life, break your unworkable patterns before they break you.
