Everyone’s idea of success is different, but let’s agree on some common markers:Â
1: You have enough money to meet all your needs and desires
2: You have a circle of friends and family who love, like and respect you
3: Your health and mobility don’t restrict you from doing anything you want to do
4: You have daily goals and long-term ambitions that keep your brain active and motivated
5: You can look back on your life so far and feel a sense of pride and fulfilment with your achievements
If any of those feel a bit loose right now, maybe you’ve engrained some of these unhelpful habits:
- Over-planning and underdoing – action beats thoughts
- Taking without giving back – try giving first
- Waiting for perfection – great is good enough
- Eating poorly – there’s enough excellent food around
- Sleeping badly – you know where your bed is
- Travelling to work – home office = smart
- Stopping before you’re done – you’re closer than you think
- emailing instead of talking – conversations are what get you paid
- Dealing with idiots – they’ll beat you with experience
- Settling for average – unless you want an average life
- You’re desperate for money – that mindset will keep you poor
- You never start conversations with strangers – it’s magic for the soul
- Sitting down all day – it’s a modern invention that’s killing you
- Believing you’ll never “make it” – you’ll prove yourself right
- Scrolling social media – I mean, c’mon. Really??!!
There’s no ONE secret to success.
It’s the accumulation of small, smart actions, leveraging your skills and experience to create your best life.
And that’s all any of us can do.
What’s your best habit?
See you around
