I often hear someone complaining that his/her work is tougher than other person's and that they always gets paid lower than the other person. There are also who complained that they were left behind the promotion even though they did all the hard work.
Most often than not, these people who complained think too highly of themselves so much so that they couldn't understand why good people like them can be so unfortunate. Sometimes they think that they can do what other people are doing, but why they are still not getting what they're suppose to get.
I know a person who keeps on complaining that she had to go through all the 'misfortune' while others, especially her other family members seemed to have all the good luck. I said to her, you will have all the luck when you stop all the complaining and start doing the thing you love to do. She said I had it easy too, so who am I to say these things. Furthermore, she said that she never heard me complained about my work. I told her that that's exactly what it is. When you tell someone that your work is tough and you had to endure it all by yourself, you are actually saying that to yourself. So, you're enforcing your belief on the problems you are facing - work is tough, boss is not appreciative, salary too small, etc. You don't really seek for answer, you merely asking people to agree with you because you keep on giving 1001 reasons to support your statements. Go and seek what you really love to do in life and do it, the money will come.
That stunted her, for a while. That's not what she came for - and I didn't offer the kind of solution she expected. But left she did, with a heavy thought.
Now, she is doing what she really loves doing and she is reaping her rewards financially as well. But once in a while she came to see me just to straighten her perspective in life.
I am no guru in this matter, but I've seen many people, including myself, achieve success in their own ways by tuning your mind to the right direction and constantly affirming your belief in it. It is, to some, trully a common sense. Unfortunately, it is not to others.
