10 Things You Should Give Up If You Want To Be Successful
Here are 10 things to give up TODAY to give yourself the best shot at success:
1.Give Up The Unhealthy Lifestyle
Start focusing on yourself. If you want to achieve anything in life, the first step is to take care of YOU. This means making yourself a priority and not worrying about others. This also means, focusing on healthy life choices. Getting to the top is often stressful and draining. Get yourself in a healthy mindset and work on your fitness and diet so you can work to your full potential.
2.Give Up The Short-Term Mindset
Forget short term goals. Successful people will make major long term goals to reach the top. Think well ahead into the future and what you want as an overall life goal. Only make short-term to enable you to reach those LONG term goals.
3. Give Up Playing It Safe
Taking risks is all part of grabbing those opportunities. You should never be afraid to fail. Failure is just another learning curve.
4.Give Up Your Excuses
Stop making excuses as to why you can’t or won’t. You are responsible for your successes in life, so stop holding yourself back. Excuses will only prevent you from succeeding.
5. Give Up Believing In Overnight Success
Stop thinking that success is just going to happen over night. It will take hard work and a lot of long hours. Success will not just come to you, you need to work at it everyday.
6.Perfection Doesn’t Exist – Give Up Trying To Achieve It
Stop trying to achieve ‘perfection’. Nothing will ever be perfect, no matter how much you try. In a world of social media, we always see the ‘perfect’ life,family,body,outfit,makeup. There is always another side. Insta vs Reality is a real thing. There is no perfect scenario, make the most of what you have and find the real life perfect in everything.
7.Give Up Multi-tasking
You need to give stop spreading yourself. Choose one thing and overcome that. This is the only way to be successful. If you try multi-tasking then you can’t give each task your full attention and won’t ever get 100%.
8.Give Up Your Need to Control Everything
Let go of the things that you can not control and understand you don’t have control of everything. You will spend too much of your time worrying over things that can’t be changed instead of focusing on the things that you can.
9.Give Up Saying YES To Things That Don’t Support Your Goals
While you might be a yes person, refer back to number one. Focus on what it right for you and your goals. If it goes against what you want, then just learn to say no. Don’t lose sight of your goals by saying YES to activities (and people) that don’t serve you on your mission. The obligatory “YES” responses can drain hours from your day, and more often than not, don’t benefit you in the least.
10. Give Up Being The Smartest Person In The Room
Realise that you might not always be the person that knows it all. There will be people more knowledgeable in certain areas. Surround yourself with like-minded people who will help grow you intellectually. There is always something new to learn. Don’t think you know it all, people can give great insight both personally and professionally.
