Self-deception aka the worst lie

There are many distractions, as many as you will allow to intrude into your awareness. Are these distractions becoming an emotional response, to your perception of equity, on your treatment ( financial and/or opportunity) as opposed to a peer(s)? Is the response relative to where you are professionally, intellectually or socially as to where you perceive you should be? Many people will wish to "right" the situation by jumping from an organization or social group to another in the attempt to gain justice or parity. Yet, only a few will assess their own efforts at gaining greater awareness, knowledge and skill by which to gain progress intellectually, socially and economically. These few will progress simply because they are aware of their weaknesses and will strengthen these as they become more valuable to their groups. Those that "cut the corner" will find themselves in a similar position in the short-term and facing the same issues, simply in another environment. There are no short-cuts; there is only effort, that over time produces greater insight and creativity, and eventually a competitive advantage. YOU have heard it before! Why is it not obvious already? It's obvious, you are just playing self-deception.
