50 Habits to successful people (HABITS 24-30)
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 won’t and don’t.
27. While
many people are pleasure junkies and avoid pain and discomfort at all costs,
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 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 on a financial
level only, are not 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 travelled.

formally (academically), informally (watching, listening, asking, reading,

glass half full people – while still being practical and down-to-earth. They

Successful People

1. They look for and find opportunities
where others see nothing.

see a problem.
3. They are solution focused.
4. They consciously and methodically
create their own success, while others hope success will find them.

but they are not controlled or limited by fear.
6. They ask the right question – the ones
that put them in a productive, creative, positive, mindset and emotional state.
7. They rarely complain (waste of
energy). All complaining does is put the complainer
in a negative and unproductive state.

They take complete responsibility for their actions and outcomes (or lack
thereof).
9. While they are not necessarily more
talented than the majority, they always find a way to maximize their potential.
They get more out of themselves. They use what they have more effectively.
10. They
are busy, productive and proactive. While most are laying on the couch,
planning generally going around in circles, they are out there getting the job
done.

to Successful Living
Part 3
(Anon)
We should
understand our capacities and potentials, and then we should express ourselves
in the external world with full confidence, acting without any reservation.
Thus there are three steps in performing an action: first, forming an opinion

executing our opinion in action
Understanding Habit Patterns
The main thing that one should learn
in life -- and it is not taught in the home

difficult. We should simply try to be consciously aware of every
