During my time in the military it was always preached that complacency could kill you, literally. Complacency - a feeling of smug or uncritical satisfaction with oneself or one's achievements. In your business and life complacency can kill as well, it can kill your aspirations, your goals, but more importantly it can kill your dreams. Take time to celebrate the wins, but keep moving forward, don't get complacent. .Fernando The SpartanGomez
About This Quote
When you are in a situation where you are being told that complacency could kill you, it is a time where you have to keep moving forward. Complacency can mean a lot of things, but for this post, we will be looking at it as a lack of ambition. When you think about your goals and your dreams, what do they say about your level of ambition? For those who have been around for a while or those who have been reading my blog for a while now, you would know that I am all about being ambitious and seeking success. In life, however, I have found that sometimes the need to take the path of least resistance takes over.
This path often leads to complacency and failure. When we find ourselves in this situation and we begin to lose motivation and start wishing for the days when things were easier, we should resist the temptation to turn back and go over old ground. Instead we should look ahead and push ahead with our goals and dreams.
