17. What do you REALLY think about successful people?

We all have beliefs about people who are successful. Some of these beliefs may be positive, while others may be negative. In this blog post, I want to reflect on some of the negative beliefs I have about people who are successful.

One negative belief I have is that people who are successful are often selfish and only care about themselves. I often see successful people in the media, and they often seem to be focused on their own success and achievements, without much regard for others. This belief can make me feel resentful and bitter towards successful people, and can prevent me from aspiring to be successful myself.

Another negative belief I have is that people who are successful are lucky and didn't have to work hard for their success. I often see people who have achieved great things and think to myself, "they must have had things handed to them on a silver platter." This belief can make me feel like success is out of my reach, and can prevent me from putting in the effort and hard work that is necessary to achieve success.

As I reflect on these negative beliefs, I can see that they are based on misinformation and stereotypes. Successful people are not all selfish, and they do not all have things handed to them on a silver platter. In reality, most successful people have worked hard and overcome challenges to achieve their goals.

Moving forward, I want to let go of these negative beliefs and recognize that success is achievable for anyone who is willing to put in the effort and hard work. I also want to celebrate and support the success of others, rather than feeling resentful or envious. By doing so, I can create a more positive mindset and be more open to achieving my own success.
