Top 10 Habits Of Super Successful People by brainzdh(m): 2:41pm On Jul 21, 2014 |
![]() Achieving success is a goal for many, but knowing how to achieve it is another story, and this is where habits come in handy as they can assist the person in achieving his/her maximal potential in life. Habits can range from being disgusting, like going to the bathroom and not washing your hands before you leave “ew! ” or they can help you build your next million dollar company. The richest people in the world, including the most successful college dropouts, all share very similar habits that enabled them to reach the top of the success ladder. Let’s take a look at the top 10 habits of super successful people… 1. Positive Thinking ![]() I cannot stress enough how important this habit is. Positive thinking is the golden key to success. People around you pick up your mood, and if they see you constantly happy and enjoying life they will want to be around you, which means you attract more opportunities. To develop a positive mental attitude is not easy as it is easier to think about something negative, but when you really change the way you think, your whole life will transform overnight and you can just sit back and see how people invest their time to help you. Some tips to help you with positive thinking are: repeat daily positive words such as “I can”, read books that make you happy, spend less time watching the news. 2. Surround Yourself With Positive People ![]() If you are a busy individual that spends a lot of time on achieving a certain goal, then you would already know that you have to sacrifice a lot of time socializing. That is why successful people prefer to have a short and sweet conversation filled with positivity. Spending time with people who are smarter and more positive than you means that you will adapt to their vibrations and emit a similar positive energy as them, which will help you dramatically with success. 3. Read ![]() Reading is vital if you want to change the way you think as a person and increase your level of awareness. Successful people read at least 30 minutes a day, but they don’t read just any kind of books, they read books that help them with self-development and books that stimulate them mentally. READING MAKES YOU SMARTER! Here are some books that you should read: “Think and grow rich” by Napoleon Hill “The 7 habits of highly effective people” by Stephen R. Covey “Success through a positive mental attitude” by Napoleon Hill 4. Eat, Workout, Sleep ![]() Sleeping, working out and eating healthy, all work synergistically with each other to have an optimum body and mind that will help you tackle problems easier in life. Starting from what you eat is probably the most important habit. Eating healthy will reduce the risks of heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and many other health related problems which means you have more time to build your successful life than being sick all the time. Working out daily is what all super successful people do and what they get from it is worth every minute of exercising. Clarity, concentration, cleansing, enjoyment, longer life, and stress relief is just a few of the hundreds of reasons why these people exercise daily. Getting enough Sleep is probably one of the most looked over habit by an average person, although successful people treat and value sleep more than anything as sleep contributes hugely on how they will feel the next day. Sleeping enough helps maintain a healthy brain and emotional well-being of the person. So get your 8 hours of sleep daily! 5. Gratitude ![]() Noticing simple things that bring joy and pleasure to your life and saying thank you for what you have is vital for the shift in awareness that everything has already been given to you. Focusing on what you lack will only bring negativity into your life and you will only see the cup half empty. If you change your mentality that the cup is always half full then you will be filled with happiness which will lead to better relationships, healthier life and less stress. Studies show that if a person practices gratitude then the level of alertness, determination, energy, optimism and enthusiasm increases and the person becomes a success in life. 6. Constant Self-improvement ![]() Successful people always seek to grow and become better. Constant self-improvement is one of the most interesting habits that successful people pick up because they are proud of what they have but never satisfied, which results in them always learning new things and experiencing new situations. Growing and helping others grow around them becomes a passion for those people and they realize there is nothing more important than pursuing a life that is constantly getting better. The truth is that there is never an end to what you can learn and this makes us limitless to the knowledge we can gain in our lifetime. 7. Get out of Your Comfort Zone ![]() Doing something different and getting out of your normal routine in life is a hard decision, but it is very important to push out of your boundaries and try new things and this is one habit that successful people follow. If you want to maximize your performance in life then you need to be in a state of relative anxiety and this state is just outside your comfort zone. This move can make you more productive, challenges in your life will be easier to deal with and you will be more creative. One of the biggest reasons that people procrastinate is because they stay in their comfort zone and this acts like a trap that doesn’t allow them to move forward in life. 8. Plan ![]() Planning is the number one technique that successful people use to understand what they are aiming for and how to achieve a specific goal. If you want to be as efficient as you can then you need to plan, this will act as a map that will manage your time and help you focus on your goal. 9. Don’t be Scared to Fail ![]() Whenever success is the topic, failure is always left behind, but every individual that ever succeeded in life would tell you that it took him 100 times to fail to become a winner. Failure is a powerful tool in life as you learn from your mistakes and improve what you already have. The top athletes to the greatest thinkers in history all failed countless times and this made their mindset fearless. The biggest secret to success is failure, as it is the greatest teacher in life. 10. Finish what You Started ![]() A lot of people have the habit of starting a project but never finishing it, which is horrible if you want to be successful in life. When you start a project, think about what you are passionate about and plan how much time you have to spend on it. Finishing what you started sets you apart from a winner and a loser. Success comes with hard work, unless you start working smarter. By following these habits you will be able to become successful faster as it is part of working smarter. The most successful people in the world follow all of these habits listed above which is testament to how important these habits are to success.
