This is Not What I Wanted!
482 words. Just over 2 minutes reading time.
"This
is not what I wanted!" is a common complaint
repeated endlessly by countless numbers of disappointed
people everywhere. After venting their frustration over
some unwanted result in their lives and fretting over it
for awhile, many of these troubled souls pause to think
seriously about their situation and how to solve the
problem.
We
solve problems by asking and answering questions,
which most people seem to understand, whether
consciously or through simple intuition. As a result,
the statement that "This is not what I wanted," may
become a question such as:
Why am I not getting what I wanted . . . What happened?
Unfortunately, this is not the question you need to ask
because the answer will not change your situation or get
you re-started on the right path. In almost all cases,
this common question has a simple answer: You are not
getting what you wanted because you made some bad
choices and took some wrong turns along the way.
Focusing on and trying to answer the wrong questions
uses up precious time and energy, and misdirects your
efforts. Instead, you should ask questions that address
the real issues, get you back on track, and move you
relentlessly toward your goals. Instead, the question
you need to ask should sound more like this:
How do I get out of this situation and back on the road
that will take me where I want to go?
Asking the right questions is easier said than done
for way too many of us, and we continue to struggle
along in survival mode day after day, month after month,
sometimes for years. Why is this? Why do so many
reasonably intelligent and rational people fail to ask
and answer the right questions about success and
happiness in their lives? This should not be a mystery.
Know the truth and the truth will set you free.
- The Bible
There are two barriers to asking the right
questions for most people who find themselves not getting what they want.
The simple truth is that people who are struggling tend
to make excuses and blame others instead of accepting
the fact that every individual:
1. Has a Choice in virtually every situation,
and
2. Is solely Responsible and Accountable for their own success
and happiness
The
truth that will set you free is probably
the truth that you don't want to hear.
- Old Eskimo Proverb
You will get unstuck and back on track
to success and happiness at work and in your life to the
degree that you can quit making excuses and blaming
others, accept and deal with the truths that you don't
want to hear, make good choices and accept personal
responsibility for your own success and happiness.
The
key to success is doing what you need to do,
when you need to do it, whether
you want to or not.
