Successful people are not successful because they made excuses. They achieved things because they eliminated everything that did not serve their vision. How to take control of your life? The following recommendations come from an article on the addicted2success.com website.
Step into greatness
Adopt a powerful mindset. Think about your goals and start with the end in mind. Set milestones and work backwards to your starting point, which is where you are now. Keep track of selected milestones so you know whether you are really approaching your end goals.
Control your thoughts
Negative thoughts and doubts are a burden. Change your life by taking control of your thoughts and ensuring they focus on empowerment and motivation. Do the following:
- Identify the thoughts are sabotaging your efforts.
- Write down all the accompanying beliefs that are making these negative thoughts come true.
- Reframe your attitude by writing down why you are capable of doing better.
- Read carefully everything you have writtem.
As soon as you notice the self-damaging thoughts, do the exercise again. Be aware of your negative thoughts in time and destroy their power well before they start hindering your progress.
Don’t be afraid of uncertainty
Don’t just wait for the perfect moment. You need to keep going and figure things out along the way. Don't waste time; instead, recognise all the opportunities you meet and eliminate any fears that keep making you long for perfectionism. Meet problems head on and take action immediately.
Change your environment to foster an empowering mindset
Get rid of toxic people in your life: they are like vampires who are sucking the energy from you. You need to detach yourself from such people; otherwise, you will never achieve your dreams. Surround yourself with quality, not quantity.
