We think the world is out to get us, so we expect someone to rescue us.

Victim mindset

We love excuses - family background, conditioning, not having money, etc. It justifies our failures, not having a messiah is another excuse.

Excuse Mindset

Sandeep Kochrar is a crazy hidden gem with his profits hidden under the stone. An IIM grad, founder, writer and a Storyteller with exponential skills & achievements.His opinions on Messiah Sydrome will reflect your mistakes on the gut.

The Born StoryTeller

If things don't work out we can easily blame the messiah.

Blaming mindset:

Success is a lot of hard work, we are not ready for this sacrifice. We want someone to give it to us.

Getting it easy mindset

We don't take responsibility or action since we are afraid of failure.

Failure mindset:

I realized no Messiah will arrive. I will have to be my own Messiah.

We need a strong will to push ourselves, to succeed. It comes from a strong character. I lacked character. So I externalized my need for help.

Character Mindset

Basically, you think that some strange driving force or a person may come and hold your hands to reach the apotheosis heights. You always create a toxicated help and work cycle.
