Watch out! You’re being scammed at this very
moment.
While
there may be many forms of “scam” out there in the world today, we at Galaxy
Trio believe that the biggest “scam” is the one we are perpetrating on
ourselves, day in and day out, causing us to rest on our laurels, lose our
passion and fail at every turn.
Webster’s definition of a scam is a strategy
to defraud, swindle and trick – an act of systemic destruction using
opportunity and deceit to gain profit. However, I have a different definition
of the word “scam”, and it is closely related to how most of us are living our
lives at this very moment. Many of us go through life just to “cruise”, we
settle, limit our own abilities and convince ourselves that we have done
enough. That still small voice in our head that often tells us to stop working
so hard, be opportunistic, to follow and not lead is the one that is defrauding
us day in and day out of our lives.
Yes, we are scamming ourselves. Every day and
we do not even know it. We scam ourselves when we procrastinate, when we leave
things too late, and when we give up. We scam ourselves when we are convinced
that the world is against us, that luck is not on our side, and that success is
for other people, and we are happy to live life on the fringe and accept
whatever meagre scraps that are given to us.
Well, let me tell you something. That is not
how you succeed in life and that is definitely not the Galaxy Trio way. We are
where we are today because of our winning spirit, because we refuse to convince
ourselves that we have done enough, and we strive to do better each and every
day.
“Now”
is not later, it really means now!
Stop procrastinating. One of the habits of
successful people in the world today is that they often are “go!” from the
moment they wake up and they do not stop moving till they get back to bed. They
are constantly motivated in whatever they do, they get inspired daily and
measure their progress by the achievements that they make, be it tiny or great.
We need to stop telling ourselves that later is a good idea, which tomorrow is
the day to start – now means now. It means to change our mindset, to resist
that lazy inertia that will only leave us in the void of failure and in the
end, we will wake up and find ourselves too far behind to catch up and too lost
to find our way again. Here at Galaxy Trio, we inculcate a philosophy of
locomotive assertion – building mountains by working everyday towards a goal.
We balance our leisure with a reinforced and positive attitude of work which
leads to an equal and opposite reaction of success.
Milestones
exist, but nothing is ever “good enough”
Another way that we scam ourselves is that
all familiar pat on the back that turns into a resistance to work harder. There
is nothing wrong with celebrating milestones or successes along the way, but as
long as you have the energy to achieve and do more, nothing should be “good
enough” – there is always more out there, not in a monetary sense, although
that will always come, but in a sense of ambition, fulfillment and passion. No
matter what you do – whether you are working on the Galaxy Trio platform,
working on your love life, your family – never stop. The bar can always climb
higher, you can always do more, you can help others to achieve. The problem
with thinking that something is good enough is that more often - you can get stuck to a point where
locomotion is no longer possible, and it will take a gargantuan effort to
overcome this static energy and get back in the groove.
Sometimes
it is best to ignore that small voice in your head.
The biggest enemy you can have is yourself.
Remember that. At Galaxy Trio, we are a family where a fully functioning
support center exists at all times to encourage each other, push each other and
celebrate successes together. People who can work alone and achieve greatness
are a rare breed and if this is something that you can do, then
congratulations! For the rest of us, isolation is the disease that leads to the
epidemic of failure and under achievement and this must be avoided at all
costs. Surround yourself with positive, successful people and soon you will
find that you will rise as well, and you have made making a difference everyday
a habit. And if you ever hear yourself in your head telling preaching
negativity, shut the voice out, go for a walk, talk to your friend or mentor –
whatever you do, do not listen to that voice.
Last
but not least, do onto others . . .
If you notice people around you that are
scamming themselves – step in, be the mentor, teach them the ways. Learning not
to trick yourself into failure is a skill and a talent that can be carried on
through to every aspect of your life – from personal to business. If we can
build an ecosystem of support – there is almost nothing that can be achieved.
This is exactly the mantra in which Galaxy Trio lives by – work together,
achieve together, support each other – we are a proven platform that has
benefitted thousands - because we have
our basics right.
