Denying Your Own Creativity
That’s a self-imposed and self-limiting belief. Stop that.
Creativity is a requirement for problem-solving and we all problem-solve. Acknowledge that you're inherently creative,
Being Afraid Of Being Wrong
We hate being wrong, but mistakes often teach us the most and allow us to innovate.

Chronic complainers may not have a negative outlook on life but they want everyone to know that nothing is ever good enough. In their mind, the world is what's negative, and they are only aware of one way to respond to it. They don't know how to express themselves in a positive light.

Start with honest self-assessment

- Explore different career options. Investigate new fields, industries and potential careers.
- Interview individuals who work at those types of jobs, or in fields of interest to you.
- Look at growth opportunities, salaries, benefits, education level and then determine the job title to target.
Change from careers
- Use your transferable skills. You have acquired abilities from previous positions.
- Use your strengths. Incorporate your talents into any position you choose to go after.
- Get new skills. Study the industry you want to enter. Take some courses so you can more quickly enter the field.
- Many people prevent their own success. They find excuses, or blame others, for their own failures or mistakes instead of learning and improving from them.
