6 Negative Forces That Invariably Will Lead You To A Failure

1.Self-destruction.

Individuals who are self-destructive tend to minimize
themselves and thus their future evolution. They don’t have a clear
sense of self-identity and fluctuate between other people’s ideas
and ways of being. Contradiction and confusion are common.

2.Doing too much.

 This is another form of self-destruction through
exhaustion. People undertake too many projects and activities for
short spans of time, touching superficially on everything and
mastering nothing. They are too busy to pay attention to results;
they always feel that they aren’t doing enough. This leads to
permanent dissatisfaction and unfinished issues and projects.

3.Distraction. 

Not living in the now can be a very powerful negative
force. Your energies are diverted from the actual present activity,
and your mind wanders about, for example, regretting the past,
worrying about others’ opinions, fearing the future, and being
absolutely overwhelmed by the present. Such people are not
living, nor are they focused on what has to be done now. Thus
they have no real control over what happens in their lives.

4.Inefficiency. 

A lot of people continually complain about not having
enough resources to get the job done. Meanwhile, they are
wasting the few resources they have. They waste time, money, and
energy and at the same time think that they are productive
because they are always moving things, going here and there
repetitively, taking more steps than needed to realize an activity,
not planning carefully in advance what has to be done, checking
once and again the same point obsessively, and not scheduling
and organizing their activities in a logical fashion.

5.Poor discipline.

 Discipline is erroneously seen by some people as
something enforced on you by someone else. This is wrong. You
are the one who decides to follow up a series of rules; you choose
to be your own master. A lack of discipline leads to poor focusing
ability, inconsistency, and impatience. It can only be resolved by
building up one’s own self-esteem.

6.Insufficient training. 

Skills have to be built. Natural talent can be a
wonderful asset, but if you lack the needed foundation that comes
from a thorough apprenticeship in any career or technical field,
sooner or later you will be whipsawed by the forces of good and
bad fortune. Building your attitude through discipline and
adequate learning is a must. Most people want to reap the rewards
right now and procrastinate at developing all the needed skills
that will yield those rewards. Practice makes perfect, day after
day. Most people just react in the moment and are swung around
any way the wind blows while feeling overly powerful and
neglecting any kind of preparation. Know your own limitations, and strive to push them further away from yourself through education and a thorough practice of what you have learned.
