There are a lot of things most people do, either as a daily routine or occasionally that has a way of hindering them from living a successful life or from being who they are meant to be in life.

A lot of times, you see these individuals struggling and often times lagging behind on so many things. This is because, they have not looked deeply into their lives and discover some certain things that they do that is/are wrong.

Below are certain things that one must willingly forgo if one needs/wants to be successful in life;

1. Forgo the lazy life mentality
Most folks just want everything to be served to them on a platter of gold. This mentality should be thrown out of the window and never be allowed in ever again. Whatever you may desire or want in life, be willing to work hard for it. That way you will be glad and so fulfilled when you finally get what you want or when you become successful.

2. Forgo unhealthy sleeping habits
Some individuals can sleep as if they took sleeping tablets or inhaled sleeping gas. To achieve more during the day, it's best you wake up early and do the necessary things you need to do. Hence, spend between 4-6hrs daily inorder to have some rest, and feel refreshed to carry out the day's activities.

3. Forgo your detest for great books.
There's a saying that, great successful men and women read and learnt from others. How would you be rich or successful if you don't follow some certain step by step principles of wise people of old or young alike? If you desire to be successful in life, willing forgo your detest for great books. Learn to read from them, and also learn from their rich embedded wisdom.

4. Forgo the habit of Impatience
Everyone wants to be successful and rich and maybe famous. But only a few have the zeal power to wait that long and follow the steady gradual route of achieving that. To be successful, one needs to be patient, strive and work hard by climbing the ladder of success, and attain the Zenith of it. Therefore, it's a thing of great joy to see what you built from scratch amassing into so much for you in a matter of time instead of it falling apart in one fell swoop because you missed a patient step or was too hasty.

5. Forgo an overly expensive life.
Its a thing of joy and satisfaction to be able to afford almost; if not some certain things you may need or want. But when it's excess, its draining. Hence it's important to always live within your means, and not try to be influenced by what your peers would say, or if they would look down on you for not looking and being expensive when, your means is below it.

6. Forgo lack of Self Confidence
You owe yourself to be confident about your abilities and strengths. To stand tall no matter what and never look down on yourself and the good things you can achieve. Once you let the spirit of lack of confidence creep in, you are on the verge of failure sooner than you expect. Hence, never allow this.

7. Forgo so called friends who are not adding to your life or encouraging you to be your best
What's the point of being friends with someone who doesn't help you to be the best version of yourself? But tends to bring you down and help you loose your self value and worth the more? When one continues, surrounding oneself with such friend's, one tends to diminish in self worth and value. So therefore, kindly forgo these categories of bad friends so that you can be successful in life at least.

8. Forgo the Belittling Attitude 
Most times, the thought of you're not worthy enough to be successful creeps into your mind. Especially when you see your peers doing more and way better than you. Well, never allow such thoughts of making you think and feel low of yourself to hinder you from succeeding. Thoughts of you feeling so low of yourself is one of the easy ticket plane to the miry clay of an unsuccessful life. Hence, never allow yourself think low of you.

9. Forgo blaming others for your failures or setbacks
Things often times, don't go as expected or as we want. But this should never warrant anyone who really wants to succeed to blame anyone for setbacks or failures if things go wrong. Always endeavour to accept anything that goes wrong or right, learn from it, and ask for the grace to move on and be hopeful for another better and blissful day ahead.

10. Forgo excess time spent on Social media
It's good to spend few/some time on social media to keep one abreast of things happening around oneself, in the country, and and the entire globe. But when the time spent on social media is more than the time spent doing something productive. When the time spent on social media is not adding anything worthwhile or tangible to your life, but all you tend to do is always having unnecessary and unproductive arguments with some certain folks everytime, then be sure you are going downhill with time, instead of being successful.

11. Forgo being overly dependent on others
If you want to be successful, then you need to strive and learn how to stand on your own. Learn to be self independent however, whichever, positive and legit way you can. This would help you value the things you had worked for and achieved the more. This way you will be happy with yourself more compared to when it's otherwise

12. Forgo the "Am always Right Mentality" 
This mentality is very bad and will only tear you apart gradually. Endeavour to have an open mind which is being eager to always learn, listen and take corrections from people who have treaded the same path you are on. Never think you know it all, be humble and have a learning spirit always.

13. Forgo lacking self-control

A man or woman who lacks self control is on the verge of his/her downfall sooner than expected. This is because on needs to have self-control for food, sleep, money, temper, tolerance, etc when handling some certain issues of life. Therefore, when self-control is lacking, one tends to struggle more to do some certain things. Hence the act of succeeding is halted.
