Success is not an accident. Failure is
not a mistake. “Anyone who has reached any great heights in life did so because they
did things differently to the majority.” The majority do not reach any
great height because they do things the same as everyone else. “As a
society we are conditioned to believe in what we see and experience around us
the most. We are conditioned to believe in the opinions and limitations of
those closest to us.” It’s time to break the mold, it’s time to avoid
the biggest dreams killers and begin learning how to make a dream a reality.
Here are the 7 biggest dream killers you
should avoid at all cost.
The fear of
failure: This is perhaps the
biggest dream killer of all. Ironically, those who don’t take action because of
fear of failure, fail by default because they are living a life they do not
want to live, a life less than their potential. Failure is nothing compared
with the feeling of regret. Worst case scenario, you learn a big lesson and
grow from the experience. Keep going until you achieve and grow.
The fear of
success: Most people
don’t reach the height they know they are capable of because of the fear that
they will be left out if they achieve it. If no one around you has achieved at
high level, there may be a fear of not fit in with the crowd. Success can be a
lonely road; courage is often needed to endure the judgment and feeling of not
fitting in.
Lack of work
ethnic: If you
aren’t prepared to work for your dream, you will never live it. Nothing
worthwhile in this world will come without big effort. Are you willing to put
the work required to get to your dreams?
Excuses: You
can have results or excuses, but you can’t have both. Successful people take
ownership of their success and their failures. If it doesn’t work out, ask
yourself how you can do it better next time. If it doesn’t work out, don’t give
up, Work Harder. Try a different approach, do whatever it takes to get to your
destination.
Toxic Influences:
Family, friends
they all mean well but often they can impose their perceived limitations on
you. Just because they couldn’t do it doesn’t mean you can’t. Just because no
one in the family has been successful before, doesn’t mean you can’t be the
first. Respect everyone’s opinion but believe in God because his thought
towards you are the thoughts of good and not of evil to give you an expected
end.
Lack of discipline:
Discipline and consistency are traits of
winners and all successful people. Every-now-and-then is not good enough. You must
be committed to work on your dreams and goals every single day and make it more
important than all those insignificant things that hold you back from success.
Unwilling to learn
and grow: successful people all have
one thing in common: they are life time learners:- as warren buffet once said, “The
more you learn the more you earn.” Never stop educating yourself on a range of
topics, developing your skills and growing into the person you know you can
become.
Remember:
If you want success you can have it, but it comes with a price. Learn and model
the most successful people you resonate with.
Avoid the people you least want to be like and avoid doing things
they do.
