One trait that every successful person has
There’s one thing that separates very successful people from the rest. This trait is rarely discussed but I think it makes all the difference.
First of all, let’s take a look at all the people who had very moderate success so far (or no success at all). Ask them why they were not as successful as they could have been? I can bet that in 99% of cases the reason for their lack of success is going to be somewhere outside. They always blame somebody or something else for what happened to them.
– Got a shitty job?
= Because
– Not being promoted?
= Because my boss is an asshole.
– Failed on your mortgage?
= Because the economy went down.
There’s always something.
On the other hand, every successful person that I know always tries to find answers in themselves.
– Got a shitty job?
= Because my skills are weak, I need to get a better education or work my ass off here.
– Not being promoted?
= Because I need to do a better job as an employee.
– Failed on your mortgage?
= It just was a terrible mistake, I need to learn
Successful people always analyze what they did wrong and because of that can correct their course of action.
Everybody who consistently tries to become a better person will sooner or later succeed.
