The year is almost coming to an end. What where you able tp achieve in this year? Some will look for excuses to explain inaction, however do you know that other people where able to make a fortune this year? In the same year, others where making real estate acquisitions and building massive houses yet we are all under the same environment.

If there is anything you need to know about changing your life, is that you need to stop looking for excuses and get to look for reasons why you can make things happen.

Below are some of the reasons why some people never become wealthy and are always in one position.

It Never Occurs to Them

It never occurs to them that they can become wealthy. because of their upbringing and early conditioning, perhaps coming from from a place where no one has ever been wealthy, and associating with poor people, they never thought that they too could become wealthy, just as millions of other have done before them.

You can never manifest wealth that has never manifested in your mind. The way of thinking has to be change and also has to be correct.

They Never Decide To Do It

Many people wish, hope, dream and fantasize about how their lives would be different if they had a lot of money. they admire and envy people around them who are doing better than they are. They worry about money all the time, but they never make a firm do or die decision to become wealthy. As a result, they never even take the first step. They don’t learn wealth creation techniques. They don’t upgrade their knowledge and skills so that they become more valuable at their work. They make excuses and rationalize their situations by saying that success is only a matter of luck and they did not get any.

They Procrastinate

If it does occur to them and the decide to become wealthy they never get started. They procrastinate. They move to that fantasy place called “someday I’ll upgrade my knowledge and skills.” “Someday I’ll work harder and make myself more valuable.” “Someday I’ll get out of debt.” They end up living on “someday I’ll” for most of their lives. One of the great secrets of success is for you to vote for yourself off the island. stop making excuses and start making progress.

They Fear Failure

Because of destructive criticism in early childhood and mistakes they have made as adults, they are paralyzed by the fear of making a mistake, of losing their time or money. even if they are presented with an opportunity, they go into a form of paralysis.

Their fear of failure causes the to create all kinds of reasons not to take action. They don’t have the time and they cant make minimum investment.

They don’t have the necessary investment knowledge and skills. Like a deer caught in the headlights, they are paralyzed by the idea of failure which causes them to never take action at all. As it happens, most fortunes in America were started by the sale of personal services. The people had no money, but they had the ability to work hard, to upgrade their skills, and become more and more valuable. As a result, more and more doors of opportunities opened up for them.

The only way to succeed is through doubling your failure rate. failure means you’re doing something

They fear Critics and disapproval

Many think that if they set a goal to better themselves financially, the people around them will ridicule them and criticize them. They are afraid the those people will watch over their shoulders and gleefully point out all the mistakes they they make. Because they fear disapproval, of others so much they often attempt nothing at all.

Here’s the solution. when you decide to become wealthy, don’t seek anyone’s approval or don’t tell anyone. Keep it secret. Go to work on you own goal privately, and only tell people when they see they see you life is improving and ask you how you did it.

They Stop Learning And Growing

To achieve something, you’ve never achieved before, you must learn and practice something that you’ve never done before. The rungs on the ladder to financial success are knowledge and skill. to be financially successful starting from nothing, you’re going to have to learn, develop, and practice an entire series of new skills that will enable you to become valuable and even indispensable in your work. Abraham Lincoln once said, “I will study and prepare myself and some day, my chance will come.” When you study and prepare yourself, by some universal principle, you always get an opportunity to practice you new skills. But it is up to you to develop them in the first place and to continue to develop them throughout your life time.

Personal development is preceded through learning. You need to commit to learning.

They Lack Persistence

Most people don’t persist long enough to succeed. Successful people will tell  you the major reason for their success was that they refused to quit. they refused to give up when the going was tough. They persisted over and over again, year after year, even in the face of complete bankruptcy and financial ruin. they never stopped. It is amazing how many people quit working just a few steps away from the key turning point in their lives, after which they would have been a big success.

Persistence and Determination are the ultimate guarantors that you will achieve all your financial goals.

In conclusion, wealth creation is not an accident, It is intentionally. you need to be intentional about it, and harness the discipline to stick to the decision until you achieve your goal.

Suicide is when someone intents to end their life. This is a leading cause of death especially among children and in other cases even adults. However spotting the risk factors and the warning signs is not easy at all.

Nearly 14 people, out of the 100000 deaths died by suicide in Zimbabwe in 2019 and nearly 46000 people in the United States committed suicide in 2020 alone, which is about one death every 11 minutes in the United States.as stated by the US Centers For disease Control and prevention

Researchers have found out that nearly 800 000 people die from suicide yearly, and in 2020, there were 1.2 million suicide attempts globally. This has shown that suicide is a serious factor that needs to be taken care of before things get worse and the numbers increase.

This Article will show us some of the signs that show that someone is at risk of attempting suicide and will also give us the steps we can take to help the victims.

Behaviors To Watch

Some people might seem like their usual selves in weeks or days leading to a suicidal attempt, while others might show behavioral changes that don’t track at all with what you know about them.

Some of the behavioral red flags include giving away cherished belongings, sleeping too much or too little, withdrawing or isolating oneself, showing rage of desire to enact revenge, and acting anxious or even agitated.

Getting really intoxicated or driving recklessly could also be other signs to watch out for. Some of the reasons for them doing this could be to actually see if they can actually do it.

Concerning Comments

Talking about wanting to die– by suicide or otherwise is another warning sign that should always be taken seriously. Such comments are usually expressions of discomfort, pain, boredom or desire for closeness rather than a reflection of actually wanting to die however, these comments could actually mean that you should closely monitor the person making the comments.

Some people might say they feel like they have no reason to live and others might talk about feeling like they are a burden on those close to them and in most cases they talk about how they are not needed anymore and they feel like life was better for the people close to them if they where not available.

Mood And Other Risk Factors

Phycological factors, distressing situations or genetics can increase the likelihood of someone considering or attempting suicide.

Moods could include:

• hopelessness. : they dot have a sense of the future getting better, or they feel really unable to imagine not not being in the pain they are in.
• Extreme mood swings: This includes someone who’s usually stressed or depressed suddenly seems calm and cheery.
• Obsessions’ with death or lethal means: some people have artistic or musical interests that are stronger or more grim than others, but if their engagement with those things surpasses what’s normal for them, then that would be concerning.
• Severe physical illnesses, including chronic pain: Especially if its very difficult to treat, people can become very hopeless and in most cases they don’t want to feel the pain anymore.
• Prolonged stress from other causes such as sexual harassments or even bullying.

What To do

If you know anyone showing any of the signs mentioned above, or if any of these signs resonate with you, then you will really need to seek professional help and you could do this through talking to someone you trust and also feel supported by. Other things such as psychotherapy and certain psychiatric medications can help.

If a loved one is showing signs that they might be at risk of suicide, its not really your job to predict the future, but you could be there for them through being supportive and also intentional about what’s going on with them.

In conclusion, if there is ever a time you feel suicidal, then you should always take some time to remember that there is always a way to cope with the pain so you should always make it a must to distance yourself from your thoughts and your action, and through this, suicide can be avoided.

Traveling around the world is a way that could help you put things into perspective and can help you gain clarity on what your passion actually is. Being in different breathtaking places also has a very interesting way of making you think differently.
