50 Habits of Successful
People
(Habits 21-30)
21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate,
destiny, chance or luck to determine or shape their future. They believed in,
and are committed to actively and consciously creating their own best life.
22. While many people are reactive, they’re
proactive. They take action before they have
too.
23. They’re more effective than most at managing
their emotions. They feel like we all do, but they are not slaves to their
emotions.
24. They are good communicators and they consciously
work at it.
25. They have a plan for their life and they work
methodically at turning that plan into a reality. Their life is not a clumsy
series of unplanned events and outcomes.
26. Their desire to be exceptional means that they
typically do things that most won’t. They become exceptional by choice. We’re
all faced with life-shaping decisions almost daily. Successful people make the
decisions that most wont and don’t.
27. While many people are pleasure junkies and avoid
pain and discomfort at all cost, successful people understand the value and
benefits of working through the tough stuff that most would avoid.
28. They have identified their core values (what is
important to them) and they do their best to live a life which is reflective of
those values.
29. They have balance. While they may be financially successful, they know
that the terms money and success are not interchangeable. They understand
that people who are successful at all. Unfortunately we live in a society which
teaches that money equals success. Like many other things, money is a tool. It’s
certainly not a bad thing but ultimately; it’s just another resource.
Unfortunately, too many people worship it.
30. They understand the importance of discipline and
self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less traveled.
