Success doesn’t come easy. It needs strong desire, dedication, and commitment. In order to be successful, one must change his perspective and habits in life.
Below is the list of habits that you need to cast out your life for you to achieve success.
1. Not doing anything to get to your goal
There’s nothing wrong with being ambitious. Everything in life is about your ambition, what you want to achieve. Now, if you won’t be ambitious and just accept what life may give you, how will you be successful?
Successful people don’t just stop when they reach the first stage of their goal, they keep going until they completely reached it. And when that time comes, guess what they do? They keep achieving for more.

2. Diving into social media while working
Social media is a major distraction one could have in his life. A major source of procrastination. Checking social media while working does not only drain your time, it also keeps you away from success.
When on break, read meaningful contents that you think will be helpful in the long run.

3. Comparing yourself to others
Yes, there’s a lot of people who are smarter, better looking, wealthier, and more successful than you which you can help to compare yourself with. But comparing yourself to others is not a good habit. It will only cause you to doubt yourself and lower self-esteem.
You must focus on yourself alone. Instead of comparing yourself to others, compare it to your old self. In that way, you will know what had changed for you over the past years either negative or positive change.

4. Making excuses
Uh-oh, na ah, no, don’t even go in there. Stop making excuses, stop reasoning out. If you want something, go out and get it. Excuse is for lazy people only.
One successful man has told me, how will you achieve success or achieve even the small goal you have if you’ll think first reasons why you can’t achieve it.

5. Surrounding yourself with the wrong people
It’s true that people around us influence us so surround yourself with positive people. Stop wasting your time with people that will distract you and hinder your success. Surround your people that you can learn from. People that have values the same as you or principles in life that you want to learn. People that you know will influence you and guide you to success.

6. Wasting your time over little things that don’t matter.
Okay, you’re not good at creating fonts and schemes for a presentation, but so what? Focus on the things that matter, not on things that only you will notice. Be realistic. Stop procrastinating by being a perfectionist wanna be.
