People Crave Results, But Want Them for Free
People desire results, success, comfort, pleasant situations, power, fame, good health, fashion, glamour, and much more. Yet, surprisingly, many expect to attain all these without any sacrifice, wanting it all for free.
The word "free" is incredibly enticing and likely one of the most searched terms on the internet. In my 30 years of experience, I've observed this firsthand across nearly all age groups. It's disheartening to see that when you advise someone to put in effort or endure some hardship, they often take offense.
What does this signify? It shows that some people only want to receive, collect, and possess without giving anything in return. They don’t want to be inconvenienced, and this attitude reflects their overall character. In this technological age, more and more people are adopting the belief that "things will sort themselves out" and that the outcome will automatically align with their desires.
Doing Nothing and Expecting Everything is a Form of Theft
Let me be blunt: thieves aren’t just those who steal physical objects. Expecting everything without putting in any effort is also a form of theft. In fact, it’s a continuous burden if it becomes a habit.
How to Overcome This Mindset
So, how can one overcome this mentality? There are two types of people:
- Those who want change but lack motivation or support.
- Those who, by nature, avoid effort and act like thieves of opportunity.
For the latter, no amount of external motivation will work. They will go through life’s lessons repeatedly until they finally understand. Unfortunately, by the time they do, it may be too late to make a significant change. I know this sounds harsh, but it would be unjust not to reveal the truth.
For those genuinely seeking change, I have more to share.
Evaluate Your Active Life and Be Realistic
Assess the time you have left in your active life and be realistic. Recognize the people who have supported you without expecting anything in return, even if you’ve never noticed them before. I know many will say, "I don’t have time." But think about it: if everyone took that stance, no one would have time for others, and our already self-centered world would become even more selfish.
It’s your decision, your priorities, and your mindset that will ultimately shape your destiny.
Don’t Lose Hope
Don’t lose hope. Initially, adopting a "work-deserve-results" mindset may feel strange because you’re not used to it. However, over time, it will become your new normal. Trust me, you’ll feel proud of yourself, and you’ll enjoy a better life with a more positive outlook.
