Stop the Blame. When you’re unemployed, it’s easy to blame the world around you. Everybody does it. The economy sucks. Your last boss sucks. Your last job didn’t give you the necessary skills. It’s Obama’s fault. It’s because of those darn immigrants! Well, here’s what I think. The pity-fest is a self-serving distraction. You must let go of hate, Luke. You have to take complete responsibility for doing something about your condition. Make a commitment today to stop blaming the world around you & take control of your thoughts, attitude, & convictions. Even if you’re gainfully employed, thinking positively even about the most dire conditions will help you find opportunity.2. Avoid FUD. This is a cool economist term. It’s an acronym. It stands for Fear, Uncertainty, & Dread. There’s a lot of it these days & if you spend a lot of time with other fuddy-duddies they’re just going to harsh your mellow, man.
If you’ve risen above the blaming problem & have oriented yourself towards positive thinking, the last thing you need is a bunch of people swarming around you with more FUD. Cleanse your pallet. Give yourself time away from this crowd to think positively about your issues. Remember, there’s only one thing that can get in your way towards financial freedom: you.3. Focus. Do one thing well. Not seven things. Not twelve. Stop multitasking. Focus on something you’ve been putting off. Weight loss. Writing that book. Swimming. Learning how to ice skate. Hiking. Rebuilding your resume. Education. Go out & do that one thing. Put all of your energy into it. Once you’ve done it, you’ll feel a sense of accomplishment for starting & finishing something that you’ve been avoiding. Then, pick just one project, & work on the next big thing. With every accomplishment, you & your friends and associates will take notice. You’re doing something with your time. You’re not idle & waiting – you’re creating your own reality – & getting more and more confident at the same time.Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/5166648
