Everyone has a different view on what it means to be successful.
Work, school, relationships, etc. Most people put so much focus on judging others for their actions but rarely do look at their own. Did you know that your attitude can dictate just how successful you can become? Have you ever sat back and reviewed your progress? Not just of the things you do every day but HOW you do them....
I've been trying to better myself in a lot of ways lately. It's not easy to change. It's even more difficult to admit that the way you act and react is not up to par. It's ironic that a coworker shared this with me now and it's pretty accurate with my goals.
ARE YOU MENTALLY TOUGH ENOUGH?
As you read through these try to think of yourself on an every day basis. Take note of what you can change to become a better you. Read these every morning to remind yourself of your goals. "We are what we repeatedly do." Consistency is going to turn these actions/reactions in to habits and you will be successful in improving yourself.
1. THEY DON'T FEEL SORRY FOR THEMSELVES
They understand that complaining doesn't make the situation better. They know that people won't treat them the way they want to be treated, circumstances might not be ideal, and they will experience adversity, however, rather than complain about the negative aspects of their situation, they focus on what they want to happen and what they are going to do about it.
2. THEY DON'T GIVE PEOPLE POWER OVER THEM
They are not people pleasers. They are relentless in their pursuit of their passion and aren't worried about what other people think. They give power to what they focus on and if they waste their time focusing on the opinions of others they lose sight of the things that will make them truly successful.
3. THEY DON'T AVOID CHANGE
They are always looking for ways to evolve. They believe that if they continue to give their best, their best will continue to get better over time. With the competition continuing to get bigger, stronger, faster and smarter, it's important to have the mindset to improve by learning from successes and failures.
4. THEY DON'T PLAY SMALL
The mentally tough swing for the fences and know that it might mean striking out a few times (or many times). Their purpose for achieving greatness casts away their fear of failure. They refuse to tip-toe through life, they intend on creating a legacy for the future by making an impact in the here-and-now.
5. THEY DON'T FOCUS ON THINGS THEY CAN'T CONTROL.
They refuse to waste time focusing on things they can't control because there is nothing they can do about it. They understand that the less control a person feels the more susceptible they are to making poor decisions, failing into bad habits and crumbling under pressure.
I think there is always room for improvement. You just have to keep an open mind. Don't wait until the New Year to decide to change...waiting only means you are not committed to the change and in this case you are just setting yourself up on a slippery slope.
You fail when you give up.
Commit, be consistent and you will never fail.
