Kevin Surace argues that constant complaining about work and life blocks success. His solution: treat every task as a joyful, grateful experience, starting from the moment you wake up. Recognizing you're alive, rather than focusing on discomfort, shifts your attitude and opens the path to higher achievement.
He revealed what the life of the average unsuccessful worker looks like and why they'll never become successful.
This is the life that most people lead. They go to the water cooler, they talk to their friend, they tell them how much they hate the work, they hate their job, they hate their life, they hate their boss. That is what most people do at some level, some more than others. And their chance of reaching their peak success, I can tell you, is zero. And the science backs this up. Now let me tell you what you need to be. You need to be is look at every task from the moment you get up as a joyful task. Just the act of waking up is joyful. Why? The alternative was you were dead, right? So I'm thinking great joy just in opening your eyes. Don't open your eyes, go, oh, I didn't sleep enough, oh, this sucks. Oh, stop. You're awake and you're alive. Just shut up. Like, be grateful for that.
