There are no successful cynics!

There are no successful cynics!
Think about it.
Real success - anyway we measure it - be it happiness, family, fame, money - cannot be achieved in the face of cynicism.
Why is this?
That's simple.
Cynics love to play the blame game. Blame someone else - something else - for their current situation. These are dead end answers and dead end excuses.
Have you noticed - that if successful people have one trait - it's an utter lack of cynicism. The world owes them nothing.
They go out and find what they need without asking permission; they're driven, focused, and work through the negatives by focusing on the positives.
Cynics on the other hand - are like quicksand.
Cynics like to find other cynics and sit together - saying 'it feels good to stay angry'. They complain - often with intensity - that every slight against them becomes a gigantic conspiracy.
Here's an exercise; name a successful cynic. Bet you can't....
That's because cynics do not become successful.
To become an elite performer - in whatever avenue of life you want - be it in your relationship - business - with money - with friends -- you can not be a cynic.
Of course it's easier to blame something else - but doing so is like using a rocking chair. It gives you something to do - but it won't get you anywhere.
So no more wasting time moaning and worrying about things that you can't control.
And start spending time on things you can.
