Consequences Toward Success

Written by a human, for humans, always.

One of the foundational principles of our universe...

Is that every action...

Has a reaction.

It is something that can be applied (relatively) easily in different physics equations...

But it is a principle that most people rarely pay attention to outside of that context...

And that becomes a barrier to their success.

See...

No matter what choices you make in life...

There will be consequences.

When most people consider the reaction or consequences of their actions...

Almost without fail...

They only pay attention to the positive outcomes.

This blinds us to the reality...

That far more often...

Consequences do not go our way.

The negative consequences are far more likely to occur.

This begins to become what separates those who have success in life from those who struggle.

Those who struggle...

Tend to either be oblivious to the potential negative consequences of their actions...

Or worse...

Ignore the potential consequences...

Or worst...

Believe themselves immune to consequences.

Every single time...

The negative consequences of their actions will catch up with them...

And they either will try to deny the consequences...

Saying things like how it is not fair, or it is not their fault...

Lacking accountability...

Or they become destroyed by the consequences.

But...

Those who succeed have the complete opposite approach.

They pay close attention to the potential consequences of their actions...

And instead of ignoring them...

They accept them as possible...

Long before they ever play out.

This does not necessarily mean that the consequences of actions are lessened...

Sometimes the only paths available have undesired consequences...

But those who succeed make those choices anyway...

Then keep moving forward.

They purposefully pick and choose the consequences that set them up best...

They choose their consequences toward success.

Again...

Many of those consequences will still be tough...

Will be less than ideal...

Perhaps even extremely painful...

But the chosen potential consequences are largely intentional...

And always accepted.

Those who succeed do not complain about the negative consequences they encounter...

Because they have already considered them as likely...

And accepted accountability before they go wrong.

When people do not pay attention to all of the consequences of their choices...

They will be hit harshly by those consequences...

Frequently in ways that feel harsh.

Where you need to be most careful...

Is that a choice in one area of life...

Can often impact multiple areas of life.

There are chain reactions that can have further reaching consequences than we realize.

Look at the person who makes decisions to have work success...

Which destroys their relationships at home...

But then it also ends up leading to work failures...

Because the stressors from their home life make them less able to make work decisions...

Because all stress adds, regardless of which part of their life it comes from...

Sending them into dis-stress, which physiologically blocks them from accessing their higher brain functions...

Causing them to become ineffective at work.

That is only one example of how this plays out.

But the truth is...

Most people do not even consider the consequences of their actions to that level...

They only consider the immediate consequences...

And only those that benefit them...

Which is why they end up struggling in life...

Prevented from obtaining the results they seek.

If you want to have success...

You must accept that all of your actions have consequences...

Some of those consequences...

Perhaps many of them...

Will be negative consequences.

Are you ready and willing to accept those negative consequences when they occur?

Do you intentionally make decisions that guide your path toward the negative consequences you're willing to accept?

Do you purposefully make decisions to reject paths that you know have consequences that you are not willing to accept?

Will you shape the consequences of your life toward the success you seek?
