Quit procrastinating on your goals
Some people dream big dreams of success while others don’t just dream but wake up and work hard on it. Action and change are often resisted when they are needed most. Get a hold of yourself and have discipline. Putting something off instantly is harder and scarier. What we don’t start today won’t be finished by tomorrow. The secret of getting ahead is simply getting started.
Quit blaming others and making excuses
Stop blaming people for what you have or don’t have, or for what you feel or don’t feel. If you depend on people then you will be disappointed and equally not make it in life. People will abandon you when you need them the most and this will make you sad. When you blame others for what you are going through, you deny responsibility and perpetuate the problem. Stop giving your power away and start taking responsibility for your life.
Quit trying to avoid change
If nothing ever changed there would be no sunrise the next morning. Most of us are comfortable where we are even though the whole universe is constantly changing around us. If things don’t change then how can we move forward in this world? Learning to accept this is vital to our happiness and general success. Because only when we change, do we grow, and begin to see a world we never knew was possible.
Quit trying to control things you can’t control
If you try to control everything and worry about the things you can’t control, then you will end up being frustrated and also put yourself in misery. Some forces are out of your control, but you can control how you react to things. Everyone’s life has positive and negative aspects- whether you are happy or not depends on which aspects you focus on. The best thing you can do to be happy is to let go of what you can’t control, invest your energy in the things you can control such as your attitude to how you react to things.
Quit looking down on yourself
Nothing will bring you down and make you sad quicker than berating yourself. The mind is a superb instrument if used right, but when used incorrectly, it becomes very destructive. One of the major causes of why we fail is due to self-doubt and negative self-talk. The way to overcome such is by developing opposing positive emotions that are stronger and more powerful. Listen to yourself talk and replace negative thoughts with positives ones.
Quit being jealous.
The negativity you bleed out toward others will gradually cripple your own happiness. Stop worrying that Mr. A or Miss B is richer than you or they are wearing the some expensive clothes and all. Rome wasn’t built in a day and so our fingers are not all equal. When you stop being jealous of people around you, will make you to also work hard so as to acquire what they have or even get more. This will make you b happy and not worry about how they look or what they have.
Quit trying to be someone else
One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world’s trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but the most important thing is that they will never be you. Don’t change so that people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love you and you will be happy with yourself.
