It is harsh but it is the truth. When you do stupid things, You win stupid prizes.
Of course, there are those very rare exceptions when doing something stupid gets you a huge award.
However, getting those one-in-a-million awards should never be the reason for doing stupid things. If it is then rest assured you will deserve every stupid prize you get.
Folks, I really can't get any clearer than that.
Getting down to the heart of the matter, is that you are solely responsible for your success and failure. You are the only one who can decide if you want success or if you want the pity party you have been getting all your life.
The thing is that everyone has the same struggles as you do and everyone wants everything handed to them. But that is not how this works.
What works is being smart about what you are doing, taking smart action and making something good happen. Then the next thing you know you are making the next smart move, and so on.
That is when you start winning the good prizes!
Thank you,
