We come across numerous motivational lectures, quotes that we think would help us achieve our milestones. BUT, what we ignore is, our self assessment, what is going on inside us.

We all are to some extent, guilty of wasting our times today.

Here is a list of few things that we are doing and need to change in ourselves if we want to grow as sucessful individuals and meet our goals.

  1. Being lenient with yourself:

If you are not putting yourself in difficult situations this means you are being nice to yourself and this is harming you. Instead, keep challenging your inner self so you learn to achieve and stop being lenient.

2. Letting distractions harm you:

Such things will always be in your way. Now it is your task to give them a deaf ear and blank gaze. Just focus on your tasks, set deadlines and don’t ever let distractions harm you.

3. Not minimising people with negative and bad influence from your life:

These are the people who have unhealthy habits, lack of achieving and are full of negativity. You should minimise or eliminate their influence from your life. Rather, surround yourself with great minds, focussed people who are ambitious enough.

4. Complaining :

If you are constantly complaining that why the other person is more sucessful but not you, this can be harmful. So in place of complaining, you should have the courage to re do things and try your best to achieve your credits.

5. Not getting out of your comfort zone :

Staying constantly in your comfort zone can lead to stress and fear. So in order to grow and excel, you have to compromise on your comforts and have to go ahead of that.

6. Not being passionate:

You should love whatever you are doing, in this way you will put your 100 percent in that and this passion will keep you motivated until you reach your goals.

7: Not tracking your performance:

You have to understand your goal and then divide it into smaller goals so you achieve them one by one and then gain big. Track how you are performing and increase your success this way.

8: Not keeping your goals clear:

One must know how does the face of success looks like. This will help you to realise if you have achieved your goals or not. So keep your goals clear.

Above all, be curious and keep your reflexes working. This will lead you to your goals.
