5 Habits Successful People Master
This is a short list of the many habits Successful People live by. They achieve success with persistent effort and focus on their goals. Simple and easy to understand concepts that separate the winners from the rest.
1) They Never Give Up After The First Failure
Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success. - Robert T. Kiyosaki
Failure is a part of the journey to success. It is almost impossible to succeed without failing at least a few times. Learn from your failures. Failure is a sign that you are challenging yourself and that you have the power to try again.
2) They Never Expect Instant Results
Patience, persistence, and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.- Napolean Hill
Today's world is high-tech and high-speed. We want it all and we want it NOW! Find ways to measure your progress. Pace yourself for the long haul. You must have realistic expectations about the time required to reach your goal.
3) They Never Waste Time Feeling Sorry For Themselves
Self-pity is easily the most destructive of the non-pharmaceutical narcotics; it is addictive, gives momentary pleasure and separates the victim from reality. - John Gardner.
Trade your self-pity for gratitude. Grateful people are more likely to help others. They are more generous and compassionate in their manner. Self-pity will ignite other negative emotions that lead to anger, loneliness, and more negative thoughts.
4) They Never Dwell On The Past
We do not heal the past by dwelling there; we heal the past by living fully in the present. - Marianne Williamson
We often wonder how our lives would have been different if only we had taken a different path. Spending too much time thinking about all the things we could have or should have done. The past should only be a place to learn from and not a place to live in.
5) They Never Resent Other People's Success
Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies. - Nelson Mandela.
Do not compare yourself to others. Do not be envious of their possessions and be joyful of their success and their abilities to achieve their dreams. Create your own definition of success, focus on your strengths, and celebrate your accomplishments.
These are some of the simple philosophies that Great Achievers have mastered. Successful people are always focused on their goals and achieve them by spending time and effort applying themselves to becoming better at what they love.
Hitch your wagon to a star and enjoy the ride.
