Dedicated to Your Success

If you want to be successful then don’t put much stock in the idea ofluck. I think that usually things go well or not so well for people basedon their actions.

I believe that for the most part we create our own luck by workinghard, making a daily priority, practicing self-discipline and remainingpersistent.

Also, many people possess blind spot when it comes to knowing aboutthemselves.

Sometimes the blind spots apply to strengths, but more often peoplefail to see their weaknesses. And that causes trouble. If you don’tknow you have a problem, then you can’t fix it.

So, don’t minimize the amount of damage that following weaknessesmay create on your journey to success:



A Negative Attitude

Your reaction to the circumstances of your life has everything to dowith your well-being and your success.

If your circumstances constantly get you down, then it’s time for achange – not in your situation, but in your attitude.

If you can learn to make the best of any situation, you can remove aformidable obstacle that stands between you and your dreams.



Poor People Skills

By far the greatest single obstacle to success that I see in others is apoor understanding of people.

How are you when it comes to working with people? Do you listencarefully to others, or do you do most of the talking? Do you expecteveryone else to conform to your wishes, your schedule, and youragenda?

If you don't learn how to get along with people, you will always befighting a battle to succeed.

However, making people skills a strength will take you farther than anyother skill you develop. People like to do business with the peoplethey like.



A Bad Fit

Though we should always first examine our attitudes when we don't enjoyour circumstances, sometimes a change in situation is also in order.

Sometimes a case of mismatched abilities, interests, personality, or valuescan be a major contributor to failure.

Being stuck in a profession or organization that doesn’t suit is the greatestsingle obstacle to success.

Evaluate yourself and situation. If there is a poor fit, think about making achange.



An Unwillingness to Change

Perhaps the most relentless enemy of achievement, personal growth, andsuccess is inflexibility.

Make sure don't get stuck in love with the past that you can't deal with thepresent.

You don't have to love the change to be successful, but you need to be willingto accept it.

Change is a catalyst for personal growth.

It gives you a fresh start, and it affords you an opportunity to reevaluate yourdirection.

If you resist change, you're really resisting success.



A Shortcut Mind-Set

A common obstacle to success is the desire to cut corners and take the short roadto success. But shortcuts never pay off in the long run.

Most people tend to underestimate the time it takes to achieve something of value,but to be successful you have to be willing to pay your dues.

Cutting corners is a sign of impatience and poor self-discipline. But if you are willingto follow through, you can achieve a breakthrough.

The best method is to set standards for yourself that require accountability.

Once you have standards in place, work according to them. Self-discipline is aquality that is won through practice. That will get you going in the right direction.



Lack of Focus

Bad things happen when a person doesn't focus.

Anybody can make a mistake when things are hectic. But people lacking focus havetrouble not because they're too busy, but because their priorities are out of whack.

And that wastes their time and resources.

If you go from task to task without making any progress, or you can't seem to reacha goal no matter how much effort you give it, examine your focus. No one canmove forward without it.



No Goals

The last major cause of failure is an absence of goals. Many people don’t have a goalbecause they haven’t allowed themselves to dream.

As a result, they don’t possess a desire. If that describes you, then you must look deepwithin yourself and try to determine your goals.

Once you discover that, you’ll know what to shoot for.



Everybody has weaknesses.

Review the top seven reasons people fail, and start improving yourself in your area ofweakness.

Work on the weakness that weakens you, and there’s no telling how far you will go



Then put yourself on a growth plan to turn a weakness into astrength. That plan may include finding a mentor. If you’re dedicatedto overcoming failure and achieving lasting success, then mentor onyour journey to success isn’t far from you. Learn more.
