1. Quit procrastinating on your goals.
Some people dream of success while others wake
up and work hard at it. Action and change are
often resisted when they’re needed most. Get a
hold of yourself and have discipline. Putting
something off instantly makes it harder and
scarier. What we don’t start today won’t be
finished by tomorrow.
And there’s nothing more stressful than the
perpetual lingering of an unfinished task.
The secret to getting ahead is simply getting started.
Starting, all by itself, is usually sufficient to build
enough momentum to keep the ball rolling. So
forget about the finish line and just concentrate on
taking your first step. Say to yourself, “I choose to
start this task with a small, imperfect step.” All
those small steps will add up and you’ll actually
get to see changes fairly quickly.
2. Quit blaming others and making excuses.
Stop blaming others for what you have or don’t
have, or for what you feel or don’t feel. When you
blame others for what you’re going through, you
deny responsibility and perpetuate the problem.
Stop giving your power away and start taking
responsibility for your life. Blaming is just another
sorry excuse, and making excuses is the first step
towards failure; you and only you are responsible
for your life choices and decisions.
3. 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. 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.
And don’t forget, however good or bad a situation
is now, it will change. That’s the one thing you can
count on. So embrace it, and realize that change
happens for a reason. It won’t always be easy or
obvious at first, but in the end it will be worth it.
4. Quit trying to control the uncontrollable.
If you try to control everything, and then worry
about the things you can’t control, you are setting
yourself up for a lifetime of frustration and 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’re
happy or not depends greatly on which aspects you
focus on. The best thing you can do is to let go of
what you can’t control, and invest your energy in
the things you can – like your attitude.
5. Quit talking down to yourself.
Nothing will bring you down quicker than berating
yourself. The mind is a superb instrument if used
right, but when used incorrectly, it becomes very
destructive. Be aware of your mental self-talk. We
all talk silently to ourselves in our heads, but we
aren’t always conscious of what we’re saying or
how it’s affecting us. As Henry Ford once stated,
“Whether you think you can, or you think you
can’t, you’re right.” One of the major causes of
why we fail is due to self-doubt and negative self-
talk. The way to overcome negative thoughts and
destructive emotions is to develop opposing,
positive emotions that are stronger and more
powerful. Listen to your self-talk and replace
negative thoughts with positive ones, over time you
will change the trajectory of your life.
6. Quit criticizing others.
The negativity you bleed out toward others will
gradually cripple your own happiness. When you
truly feel comfortable with your own
imperfections, you won’t feel threatened or
offended by the imperfections you see in other
people.
So stop worrying about the flaws you see in
everyone else, and focus on yourself. Let the
constant growth and improvement in your own life
keep you so busy that you have no time left to
criticize others.
7. Quit running from your problems and fears.
Trust me, if everyone threw their problems in a
pile for you to see, you would grab yours back.
Tackle your problems and fears swiftly, don’t run
away from them. The best solution is to face them
head on no matter how powerful they may seem.
Fears, in particularly, stop you from taking
chances and making decisions. They keep you
confined to just the small space where you feel
completely comfortable. But your life’s story is
simply the culmination of many small, unique
experiences, many of which require you to stretch
your comfort zone. Letting your fears and worries
control you is not ‘living,’ it’s merely existing.
Bottom line: Either you own your problems and
fears, or they will ultimately own you. 8. Quit
living in another time and place.Some people spend
their entire lives trying to live in another time and
place. They lament about what has been, what
they could have done, or what might become.
However, the past is gone, and the future doesn’t
exist. No matter how much time we spend thinking
and lamenting about either, it doesn’t change
anything. One of life’s sharpest paradoxes is that
our brightest future hinges on our ability to pay
attention to what we’re doing right now, today. We
need to live more in the moment. Living in the
moment requires active, open, intentional
awareness on the present. Don’t fantasize about
being on vacation while at work, and don’t worry
about the work piling up on your desk when
you’re on vacation. Live for now. Notice the beauty
unfolding around you.
9. Quit trying to be someone you’re not.
One of the greatest challenges in life is being
yourself in a world that’s trying to make you like
everyone else. Someone will always be prettier,
someone will always be smarter, someone will
always be younger, but they will never be you.
Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself
and the right people will love you, and you’ll love
yourself more too. The
10. Quit being ungrateful.
Not all the puzzle pieces of life will seem to fit
together at first, but in time you’ll realize they do,
perfectly. So thank the things that didn’t work out,
because they just made room for the things that
will. And thank the ones who walked away from
you, because they just made room for the ones
who won’t. No matter how good or bad you have
it, wake up each day thankful for your life.
Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for
theirs. Instead of thinking about what you’re
missing, try thinking about what you have that
everyone else is missing.
