Most people have given up without knowing they have given up. They accept their "lot" in life without challenge or question. They drone through days and complain all-the-while... and confuse complaining with challenging.
Anyone can complain. It is easy. Take anything negative and describe it in negative terms. Challenge, on the other hand, requires taking a stand and doing something about it. This is not easy to do... for many.
Complainers, for the most part, are resigned to and destined for mediocrity. They hate what they do for a living, they wish they had more resources, they detest the grind of the workweek... but even in light of this, they do nothing about it - save complaining.
Peoples' "truth" is what they perceive it to be. Some people will engage and "get after it" if shown something worthy of "getting after". These are the people we seek in building our business.
It is a very strange paradox that "most" people find themselves in the self-contradictory and self-defeating position of wanting or needing more money, but do nothing to elevate beyond this status quo position of "acceptance". Why is that?
