1. Nobody is on their way to save you
There is no white knight coming in to save you. Neither is that meet cute, that spontaneous promotion, or that perfect, serendipitous miracle. There is no intervention on its way that’s going to suddenly change everything you hate about your life.Not unless you make one happen yourself.
2. You are entitled to absolutely nothing
You’re going to have to absolutely work your butt off to get recognized, just like everybody else. By acknowledging that you’re going to have to work for what you want, you are already miles ahead of many unfortunate millennials. Provided you, you know, start working for it.
3. You are definitely going to fail or get rejected
Ask anyone who’s ever succeeded: chances are their pasts are swarming with failures. Fail, and fail often. It’s proof that you’re learning.
4. There is no good excuse
There is always going to be an excuse not to do something. The circumstances are never going to be perfect. The difference between winners and losers is that the winners ignore their excuses, while the losers cling to them like life rafts.
5. People only care about you if you affect them in some way
What can you do for the company? That’s what they care about. Plain and simple. This also applies to your social life, your love life and just about every other aspect of your personal life. People only like you when they are benefiting from you.
6. Good intentions don’t always make you a good person
You are the absolute sole person who can make big things happen for yourself. Your thoughts, beliefs and intentions can be catalysts of incredible change – so long as they give way to action. Learn to practice what your mind preaches.
