To be successful, you need to focus on goals, not obstacles. Believe in yourself, read books and sometimes listen to the advice of other, wiser and more successful people.
They say that behind every successful person they also stand years of failure. And the lesson of this story says yes you must not give up. You will build an empire (life) for years and years, but you can lose it in just a few minutes, hours, days..., so be careful what decisions you make, because your well-being is at stake.
No one will ever tell you how to become a failed person and how to fail quickly in life. But that can happen too!
Things that can make you fail in life:
You are discussing problems instead of looking for a solution.
Many successful people have found that their failures were their own fault. They were too concerned with the problem and the question of who is to blame for it, instead of looking for the solution that is most important. In this noise of information, they have missed what is most important. If you focus on the right things and make a good plan, you can fix anything in life.
You do the things you know and have always done.
You are putting up obstacles for yourself. You limit yourself because you like your comfort zone. You like the familiar, safe and comfortable. If you do only one thing your whole life, you will also become capable of doing only one thing. And while people around you progress and absorb new knowledge, you stand still.
You don't know how to enjoy solitude.
If you always and everywhere need company, you are not really capable of surviving alone. Every person must learn to enjoy solitude, without the help of family, love, friends, social networks. He must learn to love solitude, because it is in such moments that the best ideas are born. It is not unusual that the greatest intellectuals of all time spent most of their time alone.
Be afraid of mistakes.
Running away from mistakes is pointless. It's like running away from time. Mistakes are inevitable and MUST happen. By running away from mistakes, you are also running away from lessons that will come in handy in life because you will learn a lot from them. If you don't lose, you'll never win!
Live in the present and the future.
Thoughts of the past can evoke the strongest emotions in a person. It is also nice to dream about the future, but all this has no meaning if you do not think about the present and live in the present. In the case of sports, you can hardly expect a bright future if you constantly think about things that ONCE happened. Even the present brings with it many challenges and problems that you have to solve on the fly.
You are always and everyone's friend.
Being friendly to people is a great virtue, but unfortunately, it won't (always) help you in life. Sometimes you have to be competitive, otherwise YOU will always be the one who loses because you will stay on the sidelines because of the idea of betraying your friends with your actions. Not all people are your friends, but they maintain a relationship with you simply because they have certain benefits.
