While there are many components to living a successful life, there are few major things that can make all the difference between living a life of success and a life filled with mediocrity or failure.
I wanted to share with you the 4 things that stand out as the biggest keys to a successful life.
Be disciplined- I think is by far and away the most important of the 4 I have listed. If you want success with anything you do in life you have to be disciplined. If you want to lose weight you need to be disciplined in exercise and eating right. If you want to do well in a business you need to have discipline to put in the work. As one of my favorite authors, Jim Rohn puts it, “We all must suffer 2 pains. The pain of regret or the pain of discipline. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”
Learn gratitude and how to be happy- I believe you live a far more successful life when you learn how to live in gratitude and learn how to be happy. When you live a life filled with gratitude and happiness you learn to celebrate even the smallest blessings in life. Another one of my favorite authors, Brian Tracy puts it this way, “Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.”
-Brian Tracy
Live life to the fullest- I believe successful people live life to the fullest by learning to live well. Living well means you need to make the most of what you have. To live life to the fullest means not getting wrapped up in the past, worrying about what will happen in the future and learning how to overcome failure.
Learn how to navigate change- Change can be a tough thing for some people to deal with but it is something you need to embrace. In order to find success you need to be adaptable in a variety of situations. It seems in today’s world this is especially true as technology has so rapidly changed us and the way we live our lives. We need to be on our toes and willing to adapt to change.
These are the 4 things that I see a large portion of successful people focused on to live a successful life. I would love to hear what other small things you do that contribute to your success. Leave a comment below and share those things with me.
