arunsurana When you are at a crossroads in your life on the journey to success, it is imperative to know about the 3 enemies of success.
Quite a few learned self-help coaches have observed over the generations that the 3 enemies of success are namely
- Comfort Zone
- Learned Helplessness
- Path of Least Resistance
COMFORT ZONE
When you set out on the journey to success remember 2 elementary things there are no free lunches. Second, being that everything you achieve has a cost.
Since there are no free lunches you need to move out of your comfort and be willing to face the discomfort to achieve success.
While you are always at liberty to be stuck in your comfort zone but the cost of that has a mediocre life. A life where you live cheque to cheque and one minor disruption and you are lost on how to overcome it.
The recent past disruptions caused by the pandemic showed the reality to a lot of us.
If you need to build a firewall around you which protects you from such disruptions you need to come out of your comfort zone.
A decision to be confined to your comfort zone also means that you are trading away your freedom for being stuck in your comfort zone.
LEARNED HELPLESSNESS
Learned helplessness can be best attributed to the lizard brain. The primitive part of your brain always makes you think that you cannot do something.
Every time you feel like you can’t do something remember that it is your brain which is resisting you from venturing into some new area. The Lizard brain of yours does not want you to face any kind of discomfort.
Learned helplessness can only be overcome by going against the wishes of your own brain and treading yourself through the discomfort.
PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE
Success is a journey and not a trip to a nearby destination. This journey is full of topsy-turvy turns and full of hurdles and obstacles.
The expectation of instant gratification is what is causing you to choose the path of least resistance.
When you set out on the journey you need to be sure that you have not set on to conquer a mountain but you have set out on conquering a summit.
Your destination of success cannot be reached if you try to reach it thru the shortest possible path. Remember life does not offer the same question for everyone facing the exam.
This is the precise reason why you would come across individuals who got very good grades in school and have messed up their life.
You need to be willing to face the challenges life throws at you and you should also be determined to overcome the challenges.
CONCLUSION
To conclude the journey of life is a pretty easy one as long as you are willing to take the challenges head-on.
