Most people are unhappy
Whenever a survey is made to find out the percentage of happy people the number of sad ones outnumber the number of happy ones. The reported number of sad people include those who lie to themselves by claiming that they are happy while they are not.
The one million dollar question that should have came to your mind is that if most people are unhappy then how come do most people follow the crowd??
Its as if you are following a crowd of 100 persons that has 98 poor people and 2 rich ones just because you want to become rich!
In other words, if you want to become happy in life then you need to avoid doing what most people are doing simply because they are not happy.
In this post i will tell you about the fatal mistakes most people do in their lives in order to help you avoid them. By avoiding these mistakes you can rest assured that you are going to be much happier than the average person.
5 ways to ruin your life for good
- 1) Settle for less : The majority of people give up upon their dreams and settle for things that they don't really want just because of believing that they can't do better. While such behavior can reduce the amount of hard work a person has to do in his life still it results in a severe psychological conflict inside his brain. A person who settled for what he never wanted will always feel unhappy whenever he compares what he has to what he wanted to get (see Why you should never give up)
- 2) Believe the people you talk to: One of the biggest life mistakes you might be doing is assuming that all people are well informed, mentally balanced and worthy of being followed. All psychological studies have shown that people alter their own perception of reality, form false beliefs, spread rumors, believe in superstitions and lie to themselves. In other words, even if the whole world put you down keep moving towards your goals because there is a big possibility that they are all wrong. Everyone kept telling me that i wont be able to make a living online only to let them find out few years later that i made millions selling my books online (see How i did it)
- 3) Run away: No i am not talking about the kind of courage needed to face your problems but am referring to the kind of courage needed to admit that you have problems. "All rich people are thieves" , do you know what that belief is? Its a false belief developed by a person to protect his Ego because he is too afraid to try to be rich. Many people fool themselves by developing such beliefs then claim that they are facts while in fact they are nothing more than an escapement method. (see also Why do people lie to themselves
- 4) Get too attached to what you have: There are two big problems that happen when you get attached to what you have. The first ,which is the smaller problem, is that you will feel really bad when you lose any of the things you have. The second, which is the real bad problem, is that you will forget that you are the one who acquired those things in the first place. If you are too attached to the money you have then you might forget that you are the one who made it in the first place and this is where your strength turns into weakness (see How success can lead to failure).
- 5) Procrastinate : As much as this sounds like a harmless bad habit procrastination can ruin your life. The problem with procrastination is that you might not discover that things are going wrong unless its too late. I am not saying that you don't have a chance to succeed if you started late but instead i am pointing out how hard it will be to fight for your goals while believing that you don't have enough time. I had friends who were procrastinators when they were very young. Today they are old men who haven't achieved anything in life just because they kept their procrastination habit!
Avoid the fatal mistakes and you will be OK
Doing the right things will certainly help you succeed but when looking at success from a different angle it can also be described as avoiding doing the wrong things.
Avoid these fatal mistakes and you should be able to be successful. Don't be scared if you found yourself doing any of them, after all most people do at least one of them, but instead stop the bad right now in order to pave your way to success.
I have managed to become a self made millionaire at the age of 28. This didn't happen by chance because i already wrote that goal down five years before i accomplished it. Becoming rich is not about luck, starting big or being intelligent but its all about having certain beliefs about money and life.
