you ever feel like you’re in physical checkmate or mental gridlock?
Perhaps you frequently suffer from analysis paralysis or are
just plain frozen with the fear of failure.
When we allow ourselves the luxury of being stagnant, we become
more accepting of things as they are. Often we even justify our lack
of motivation through an unfair comparison of ourselves to others less
fortunate than we are. To rationalize in this way is detrimental to our
personal growth. It’s actually like telling ourselves rational-lies.
Complacency is similar to a disease that debilitates our thoughts and
activities. The good news is that just as a well-balanced diet and exercise
can reduce our health risks, …there are seven behaviors that can
increase our resistance to becoming complacent, provided we make a
conscious effort to focus on them constantly. As the following actions
and attitudes are outlined as a prescription for conquering complacency,
consider how many doses you would be willing to consume on a
daily basis.
