Redefine your definition of failure

Someone — Sat, 07 Jul 2018 12:00:04 +0000

What if, instead of seeing it as a failure when we give something a go and it doesn’t work out, we see it as a victory that we tried in the first place? Perhaps the word failure would be more aptly used in situations where we don’t attempt things at all, because we’re ruled by[...]

Give up the word ‘should’

Someone — Wed, 04 Jul 2018 12:00:27 +0000

So much of our unhappiness stems from feeling like we are not living up to the standard definition of success, the status quo, media standards and expectations — or that life and other people are not living up to our expectations of how things should be. If we let go of preconceived notions about what we should[...]

Give Up The Toxic People

“Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution.” — Albert Einstein People you spend the most time with add up to who you become.

Someone — Sun, 27 May 2018 20:38:37 +0000

“He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” — James Allen Successful people know that in order to accomplish their goals, they will have to say NO to certain tasks, activities, and demands from their friends, family, and colleagues.[...]

Give Up Multi-tasking

Someone — Sat, 26 May 2018 21:27:42 +0000

“Most of the time multitasking is an illusion. You think you are multitasking, but in reality, you are actually wasting time switching from one task to another “ Successful people know this. That’s why they choose one thing and then beat it into submission. No matter what it is — a business idea, a conversation, or[...]

Give Up Your Perfectionism

Someone — Fri, 25 May 2018 11:32:24 +0000

Nothing will ever be perfect, no matter how much you try. Fear of failure (or even fear of success) often prevents you from taking action and putting your creation out there in the world. But a lot of opportunities will be lost if you wait for things to be right.

Give Up Believing In The “Magic Bullet.”

Someone — Thu, 24 May 2018 18:33:52 +0000

Overnight success is a myth. Successful people know that making small continuous improvement every day will be compounded over time and give them desired results. That is why you should plan for the future, but focus on the day that’s ahead of you, and improve just 1% every day.

Give Up The Fixed Mindset

Someone — Wed, 23 May 2018 12:14:35 +0000

“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.” ― Robert Greene, Mastery People with a fixed mindset think their intelligence or talents are pre-determined traits that cannot be changed. They also believe that talent alone leads to success — without hard work. But they’re wrong. Successful people know[...]

Give Up Your Excuses

Someone — Tue, 22 May 2018 21:04:12 +0000

“It’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand.” ― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture Successful people know that they are responsible for their life, no matter their starting point, weaknesses, and past failures. Realising that you are responsible for what happens next in your life is both frightening and exciting.[...]

Give Up The Short-term Mindset

Someone — Sun, 20 May 2018 11:53:38 +0000

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West Successful people set long-term goals, and they know these aims are merely the result of short-term habits that they need to do every day. These healthy habits shouldn’t be something you do; they should be something you embody. There[...]

When good things happen to people you know, help them celebrate

Someone — Wed, 25 Apr 2018 00:47:10 +0000

When good things happen to people you know, help them celebrate. Their success does not diminish you. Be happy when your friends and family achieve something cool. If a co-worker gets a raise, be supportive and not jealous. Approach life as if it were a win-win game. Because it is.

There’s no single “right” way to achieve success

Someone — Mon, 09 Apr 2018 00:38:58 +0000

There’s no single “right” way to achieve success. Each of us is different. We have different goals, personalities, and experiences. We each need to find the tools and techniques that are effective for our own situations. There’s no one right way to eat, love, pray, or pay off debt. Don’t believe anyone who tells you[...]

Always do your best

Someone — Fri, 06 Apr 2018 00:38:58 +0000

Always do your best. Your best varies from moment to moment. Some days in the gym, for instance, I’m able to lift heavier weights than on other days. Some days I can run faster than usual; some days, I’m slower. That’s okay. What matters most is that I give my best effort every time. No[...]

Don’t try to change others

Someone — Sun, 01 Apr 2018 01:05:13 +0000

Don’t try to change others. “Attempts to change others are rarely successful, and even then are probably not completely satisfying,” Harry Browne wrote in How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. “To accept others as they are doesn’t mean you have to give into them or put up with them. You are sovereign. You[...]
