Do You Want More? Then Change!


Ostrich Syndrome

Ostrich Syndrome

If a person doesn’t change themselves, they’ll always get what they got. Period. I’m sure you have heard something along those lines before? And it is very true.

Say a person goes through life doing the same thing over and over again. Do you think they are going to get a different result? Of course not! That would be foolish.

People that do the same thing expecting different results are just plain Stupid!

People go to work at their job everyday doing the same thing day after day but for some reason they can’t figure out why their life Sucks! As our mentor Larry Winget would say, “Their life Sucks because they Suck!” Period. No other reason. It’s that simple. No explanation needed.

The first thing people have to do in order to improve anything in their life is for them to change. Nobody is going to do it for them. The government isn’t. Your boss isn’t. Your preacher isn’t. There is nobody that is going to help you change but YOU.  Think about that for a moment…

If a person’s job sucks, then they need to do something to improve it.

If a person’s love life needs improving, then they need to work on it.

People have what they have all because of them and nobody else!

People for they most part would rather get home from work, have a little dinner, then sit on the couch, watch TV and then go to bed just to wake up and do it all over again.

So just remember, it’s YOU and ONLY YOU that can make a difference in your life.

And if not YOU, then Who?

And if not NOW, then When?

    We were talking about the "Ostrich Syndrome" in my Business Communications class last week and discussing how people who want promotions don't actively do the things necessary to earn a promotion..they just EXPECT it to happen. If someone's life sucks, it's their own fault. We have a choice every single day on what decisions we make, whether we go to work and do a good job or do a poor job and whether we spend the time necessary to improve ourselves long term.

    Too many people have the poverty mindset and are held back by fear, ultimately leading to the same failures/sadness over and over again.

    Nike's JUST DO IT slogan is what people need to tell themselves if they are to ever make a change.. Great post!
  • Thanks Chris! I think that I wrote this post after reading Larry Wingets book "Shut Up, Stop Whining & Get a Life" He sums this up better than anyone!
