Cynicism is ugly. It will steal opportunities from you by whispering in your ear that the opportunity is here to take advantage of you.
Your comfort zone’s boundary line comprises limiting beliefs and holding hands in a circle. If you are going to break into new territory, you have to confront such mindsets, cynicism is one of them.
Cynicism is doubt or disbelief in the professed motives and goodness of others and, by extension, in social and ethical norms and values. It is accompanied by mistrust, scorn and pessimism.
Not only is this mindset a limiting one, but it is also unsightly. Cynicism leaves a bad smell wherever it goes and will cost you if you let it stay.
- Have you lost opportunities because you believed they were out to get you?
- Have you lost out on relationships because you ‘just knew’ they were being insincere?
- Do you find yourself scornful of others’ joy when you’re in a group?
These are just some of the traits of cynicism; episode #52 is all about how this practice will prevent you from propelling forward.
