Many of us want to be successful but come across a lot of challenges
along the way. Most times the challenges we face can be controlled by
us. Sometimes we forget that it is the simple things that are stopping
us from getting the success we want in our lives. Below I have listed
five things that you must not do in order to make sure that you get the
success that you deserve.
Constantly criticizing people
The more you criticize people, the less attractive you will come
across to others that are around you. Criticism is a sign that you are
insecure and lack self-confidence. If you are jealous of other people’s
success, no one is going to help you and guide you towards having the
successful life that you desire.
Blaming other people for your failures
If you start pointing fingers at other people for your failures in
life, you will not get anywhere. Many of us have a habit of blaming our
family and/or other people for the things that have occurred to us in
the past. If you keep doing this you will see opportunities fly by you
and see others get ahead in life while you sit there feeling frustrated.
Dreaming about other successful people
It is always great to hear stories of other people that have achieved
great success. However many people make a habit of living and dreaming
about someone else’s life rather than focusing on their own goals. When
we do this our perception of reality gets distorted and we don’t pay
attention to the things that are important to us in the present moment.
There is nothing wrong with reading autobiographies and going to
motivational seminars, but many people make the mistake of trying to
follow the exact same path as someone else took. Each individual that
you look up to achieved their success following their own path. Remember
that you have your own unique story to tell.
Not taking the extra step to get closer to your goal
You may have talent, but if you are not willing to put in the extra
hours to get what you want out of your life then you are going to have a
hard time excelling. If you own a business and your client needs some
extra servicing, sometimes you may need to go out of your way or stay at
work after hours to help them. If you feel annoyed and frustrated
working after hours, it is going to show a lack of enthusiasm and you
will not get any referrals. If you need to work on improving your dating
life, you may be required to put in the extra time to meet different
members of the opposite sex. However if you don’t put in the extra time,
you are not going to improve your dating life.
Letting other people make decisions for you
Lack of leadership can have a huge impact on your success in all
areas of your life. Many people don’t take the step to make their own
decisions and they have no control over their lives at all. When other
people see that you lack leadership skills they will start pushing you
in different direction and make choices for you. You need to spend time
thinking about what is important to you and what your core values are so
that you can start making your own decisions.
