Читать книгу Golden rules of life. Standards of thinking of successful people - Vladimir S. Lavrov - Страница 9

Most people are subject to illusions. They live in a world they invented and do not even notice it. Successful people avoid illusions and try to perceive the real just as it is.

The most partial illusions to which most people are exposed are the illusion “about tomorrow” and the illusion “about forever”. People always think that tomorrow will be better, so they leave important things for tomorrow. People always think that tomorrow there will be more opportunities, so today they do not make any attempts to change something. It always seems to people that tomorrow will be easier, so today they avoid difficulties and as a result they face even greater difficulties in the future. People always think that what interested them today is forever. In fact, it’s all an illusion.

Tomorrow will not be better. Tomorrow will be the same as today (if not worse). Tomorrow there will be no more opportunities. Opportunities are only today. Tomorrow will not be easier. Tomorrow will be more difficult. And of course, what interests you today is not forever!

Be attentive! Do not live in illusions! Everything is temporary. If you have the opportunity today to live the life that you want to live – use it. If not, do not wait for a more favorable time. Make an effort right now to change something that does not suit you. To make your “tomorrow” cloudless, change your life now. If something does not work out, then make an individual development plan and break out of the restrictions that you have. Let go of the captivity of illusions! Live your life, and do not sleep it!
