Recently, I heard Les Brown speak at an event called Speakercon. Prior to this, I never really heard a full speech from him, only snippets here and there.
But there was something he said at this event that struck a cord. He said that most folks are "volunteer victims." Meaning that most folks make choices that leave them in circumstances of which they claim to have no control.
That really landed. I speak to many people, several times a week and I often hear words like, "I do so much for everyone else and no one is ever here for me" or "my boss is a jerk", "my supervisor gives me too much work", and on and on.
When I really dig deep into the source of the frustration, it comes down to being a volunteer victim. Not asking for what you need. Not communicating clearly. Not asking for support. Not prioritizing your health and well-being.
And, the biggest one of all, expecting people to read your mind and know what you are thinking and feeling, just because you are grumpy or walking around sad and pissed off!
Come on now! Isn't it funny how we are still so child-like in our adult lives? YOU are responsible for your life. It's nobody else's fault that you are unhappy, frustrated, broke, or exhausted.
You don't have to be a victim to your choices. You can take command of your life.
Look, I know it's scary to suddenly change your habits. What will people think? This is not like you. What if someone gets mad at you? So what!
It's time to give yourself permission to stop doing everything for everyone but yourself! And here's where you can start.
I've created a Black Friday Success Bundle that will give you everything that you need to start. It's called The What Matters Most to Your Success Bundle.
If you are tired of:
- Trying to figure out everything for yourself and making little to no progress.
- Being distracted by procrastination and shiny objects
- Feeling exhausted and unproductive
- Avoiding what you need to do to improve your health, your wealth, and your relationships.
- Being a volunteer victim
Stop saying NO to yourself and YES to everyone else. Make 2022 the year you prioritize your goals and remove the outside noises and distractions that are keeping your desires on the back burner. Make this the year that you breakthrough and go beyond where you stop yourself.
Stop hustling for everyone else and go ALL-IN for you! Investing in yourself is the best choice you can ever make.
As Oprah says, “Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.”
Believe that you can:
- Make more time and have more money
- Improve your health
- Increase mental, physical, and emotional energy
- Create space for what matters most to YOU
- Increase productivity and effectiveness
- Find support and solutions
- Have healthy, happy, relationships
And you’ll be well on your way to your best year ever!
Separately, I have sold the strategies in this at a value of $137. But for the Black Friday offer, it can be yours forever for only $27. That’s a $110 savings. Who doesn’t love a bargain?
