Something that contributes to us being miserable, unhappy, dissatisfied, frustrated (you get the message) is when things don’t turn out the way we want them to. And very often this is because we are doing the same old thing over and over again, expecting the results to be different – thanks to Einstein for this pearl of wisdom, although he did link insanity to it!
We need to look at what and how we are doing things.
· If our business is not making as much money as we want anymore, maybe we need to do things differently; maybe we should be marketing differently, revising pricing structures, revising product and service offerings
· If we are in a toxic relationship we need to understand why and fix it – which maybe means getting the hell of there or seeking counsel….
· If we have constant money problems, get help and sort it out
· And so on…. you can make your own list!
But the crunch about these miserable situations is that they are going to stay exactly the same, unless you do something about it. Sure, it’s nice to revel in a bit of drama on occasion but this becomes self defeating and very tiresome for family and friends. You might also think this it is “just the way things are” and find lots of excuses and reasons for the status quo; global economic meltdown, that’s just the way it is, he/she promises this time to stop drinking, I don’t earn enough money and so on.
It is quite fine to talk about your unhappiness, dissatisfaction, frustrations. Make the space to talk about it and talk to the right people – and make the changes.
