"Yes, the world is going to hell and everyone is to blame. Everyone, except me that is."
Well, at least that's what you keep telling yourself. All you ever see is how people disappoint you. Everyone is not doing what is best for you or your company. No one listens to you. Why would they do it that other way when you just told them the best way to do it? Right? I mean......am I going crazy here or am I the only one who has any common sense? Come on, people.....wake up! I know I'm right, but they're just morons. (I've heard them all.)
The answer is simple. Vicious Vampires, Bloated Bullies, Negative Nellies, Miserable Myrtles, Dragging Drama Queens, Jealous Judgy Judy's, Self-Worshipping Assholes, and Dumbass Know-It-All's. They are ruining life for everyone.
Well, the only person ruining your life IS you!
Yes, the answer is -- and always will be -- you. You are the only one who can disappoint yourself. You are the only one who can hurt you. You are the only one who can lie to you. You are the only person who makes the choice to wait and wait and wait. You are the one who chooses to assume the worst without obtaining the facts. You choose to be negative, mean, and disgusted by everyone around you. You are addicted to pointing fingers, addicted to judging others because you worship yourself -- addicted to self.
If you don't have the life you dreamed of you can only blame the choices you made along the way. If you have obtained success, be grateful for the people who have chosen to be in your life and the choices THEY made. Your circle of mentors, friends, and family are the ones who made you successful. Not you. Period. It is their choice to give you the gift of their time, the gift of remaining in your life, and the gift of helping and supporting you.
Successful people never blame anyone else. They accept the responsibility for their lack of clear communication and the lack of working in yes/no agreements. Simply because you ask does not mean someone has agreed. They must answer in the affirmative stating exactly what they agree to do for you. Otherwise, there is no agreement and one cannot expect anything from the other. This is called "acting like an adult" or "working together".
Shouting profanities, blowing your top in a fit of rage, making assumptions, gossiping, judging, blaming, backstabbing, throwing a temper-tantrum, whining about how unfair life treats you, (etc etc etc) is NOT clear communication. It is childish and unproductive. These behaviors are major symptoms of people choosing to live a miserable existence.
You read that correctly - choosing to be miserable!
HAPPINESS IS A CHOICE and one must make that choice every split second of every day.
If you have a flat on your car, why would you yell and scream, and give yourself a heart attack on the side of the road? Change the tire and get on with your life. No one wants to stop and help a raging lunatic. They look away and keep on traveling - leaving you stuck right where you are. When your boss yells at you, do you feel like doing more work or do you feel like punching them in the face and telling them to do it themselves? If you don't like to be treated that way, then DO NOT TREAT OTHERS THAT WAY.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The only person in the entire world who can make you happy IS yourself. Love yourself, don't worship yourself. Very few people are able to figure out how to overcome it. It starts by remembering old adages, mantras, fables, fairy tales, and stories we are told over and over. They are passed down for generations, normally by our mothers and fathers. The research has already been done and we don't have to second guess why they have survived the test of time......because THEY ARE TRUE!
You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar.
If yelling has not worked yet, it never will. If assuming the worst about others has not worked yet, it never will. If telling someone what to do or how to do it (or where to go) has not
yet worked, guess what, it never will! No one controls anyone else in
the world. A quote often attributed to Einstein says, "Insanity is repeating the same mistakes expecting different results." It was actually a blurb in the literature created in 1981 written for addicts by addicts in a little group called Narcotics Anonymous.
You have the right to ask for anything and everything you need, want, and desire. Depending on your manners and how you approach the other person, it is their choice to grant your request or deny it. Everyone has the right to deny your demands or to give you the gift of success.

Failure to communicate clearly or treat others with respect will always lead to disappointment and failure. You chose to fail by not setting yourself or the other person up for success. You are the only person who will ever hold you back from obtaining what you want. It is your choice to be ignorant and continue the insanity or accept responsibility for your own actions and give respect to get respect.
Make the choice to live On the Sunny Side of the Street.
