The Clues of Victimhood…

This perverse behavior is some of the most negative, unhealthy and dysfunctional bullshit people can ever subject themselves to. Eventually they end up actually manifesting and attracting worse treatment – to justify this perverted vision they have of themselves.

Surrounding Yourself with Amazing People…

You have to find at least a couple people you trust, that you can be vulnerable with. People you don’t try and impress with the silly facades society seems to relish, but people who are impressed with you, just because you’re you.

The Problem is You

One of the commenters on that post said he felt he had good people around him, but they’re not really acting as a check on potentially addictive behavior. So what’s the cause? In scenarios like this, most of the time, the problem isn’t with the people around you. The problem is YOU.

Setting Goals You Actually Achieve

The type of goals you select and the nature of each, dramatically influences your prospect of accomplishing them. Here’s my go-to checklist for setting goals:

Preventing Self-Delusion

These kinds of relationship are difficult and require serious effort to maintain them. But ultimately, they the only ones that will make a real difference in who you become.

When Ego Runs Amuck

And that’s when our ego defense mechanisms go too far. They distort our ability to self-assess ourselves, and we cross over into self-delusion. Now we’ve moved from simply having an optimistic worldview, to drinking our own bathwater.

Lie to Yourself!

We all have – and need – ego defense mechanisms. Although they get a bad rap in most self-development literature, they can serve an advantageous purpose. In fact, there are numerous studies that demonstrate high achievers are much more optimistic and positive about their prospects than the average person. This “rose colored glasses” view of their world causes them to create more enthusiasm and energy for the projects they tackle. And they tackle more ambitious ones as well.

Stop Waiting!

Do you realize how few people have never taken two minutes to actually ponder what their life is all about, and who they want to become? Far many people they never do this. Or they get shocked into doing this by an abrupt and unexpected event, such as the death of a loved one, divorce, getting fired, or receiving a tense medical diagnosis.
