"10 Destructive Habits Holding You Back From Success"
THREAD TIME: 👇
1. Seeking approval.
If you are focused on what others think of you, you aren’t listening to yourself.
You are your own person, with your own successes and failures.
Eventually you have to stand on your own two feet.
2. Shifting the blame.
It’s tempting to shift the blame off of your own shoulders.
Instead of making excuses, start taking action.
Find a way to turn that negative into a positive.
3. Undefined goals.
Defining your goals is the first step toward making them happen.
Without a plan to pull you into the future, you can easily go off course without even knowing it.
4. Neglecting your health.
Letting yourself fall into bad health habits such as eating poorly, not exercising or not getting enough sleep will leave you mentally and physically exhausted, stressed and prone to illness.
These can have real impacts on your ability to perform.
5. Self-doubt.
Self-doubt is a dream killer.
If you constantly doubt yourself and question whether your goals are attainable, your pessimistic feelings will become self-fulfilling.
If you believe in yourself and visualize your success, you’re much more likely to succeed.
6. Inaction.
Procrastination is the quicksand of accomplishment.
With so many distractions out there, it’s easy to get suckered into inaction and complacency.
If you are afraid of taking the next step, you will eventually be overtaken by inertia and indifference.
7. Staying in your comfort zone.
Taking risks is a scary proposition for many.
After all, stepping outside your comfort zone means inviting the possibility of failure.
But you will never know what you are truly capable of unless you try. Remember, with great risk comes the possibility of great reward.
8. The need to always be perfect.
Nobody is perfect. Instead of setting unattainable expectations for yourself, accept that you will make mistakes.
If you learn from those mistakes, you will grow stronger from those experiences.
9. Overlooking the importance of persistence.
Don’t make the faulty assumption that talent outweighs persistence when it comes to success.
The ability to stick with your project, working tirelessly to see it through, will be your secret weapon to achieve success.
10. Not educating yourself.
Successful people are almost always voracious readers.
Knowledge empowers you to dream bigger.

1. Groom yourself.
This seems like such an obvious one, but it’s amazing how much of a difference a shower and a shave can make in your feelings of self-confidence and for your self-image.
