It has surprised me how big of an obstacle standing in the way of a particular goal is the wrong kind of people.
You know the kind of people. The kind of people the procrastinate, that say they will do it later, that want you to do everything. The kind of people that do nothing but impede.
The best way to deal with these people.
Either avoid them entirely or find a way to apply pressure to them.
Give them no second chances. Just tell them what will happen and watch them hurt if they don't comply.
Best lesson I learned in life is that if you assume the worst of people, you will be correct 90% of the time.
People don't show up, they try to short change you, they try to screw you over. The only way they get the point is if pressure is applied to them.
And when you be tough, be direct, and try to get a job done you look like a jerk. Well sometimes its necessary to be a jerk.
Now, I want to tell you about the worst kind of person that should be avoided at all costs. This person will drain your life force because he or she is a blood sucking energy vampire.
This is the kind of person that looks like they want your help. When you give them the solution, they either don't want to do it or drag his/her feet on it. And when you offer to fix the problem for him or her, he or she will actively resist you from fixing the problem.
To paint a better picture of this, imagine a homeless bum walks up to you begging you for food. At your gracious generosity, you take him to a steak house and put a fine porterhouse right in front of him.
He looks at you and then looks at the streak. He then demands you to cut up the steak and feed him yourself because he can't be bothered to lift a finger.
At that point, I would just sit there and watch him starve to death.
And it hit me. For whatever reason, some people just want to hurt and suffer and complain.
There's an 80s song that goes like this: "some of them want to abuse you, some of them want to be abused by you" but yeah I totally agree
