5 Things to Leave to get success
“Let your past guide the actions of your future.” Brian Tracy
There is never been a better time to look back on your life and reflect on the accomplishments you achieved. It’s also important to consider any set back you had, and how they helped you grow.
Reflecting on your past experiences, accomplishments, and learning will help you determine the goals you hope to achieve in the future. Whether you find yourself setting the goal post higher or just aiming to stay consistent with your goals, you want to avoid certain things and behaviors to see success.
Here are 5 things to leave behind for you to succeed in the future.
- Excuse
- Multi-tasking
- Saying “Yes” to things that don’t support your goals
- Toxic people
- Time spent on social media
1. Excuses:
2. Multi-tasking:
Though it seems like an efficient solution, multitasking is detrimental to achieving your goals. When you attempt to focus on more than one thing at any given time, your focus becomes scattered. This can lead to silly mistakes, errors, and overall bad work. When you want something done right the first time, stop multitasking and start focusing on the particular task.
3. Saying “Yes” to things that don’t support your goals:
Sometimes we feel obligated to say yes. There are a lot of reasons for that. Usually, those reasons align with wanting to promote a good reputation for ourselves, to be seen as helpful, useful, fun, or spontaneous. However, not being able to say “No” may force you to put the projects that matter on the back burner. If you have experienced the inability to put your goals before your reputation, it may be the time to evaluate your priorities… and that is okay. This does not mean you should not be a good person. It just means that you’ll need to identify how to prioritize your goals and actions.
For example, next time someone asks you to a party you don’t want to go to, it is okay to say “No” and use that time to work on one of your projects or goals!
4. Toxic people:
At some point in your life, you will encounter people that may not have your best intentions at heart. If they don’t support your goals, they bring you down, and they make you feel bad about yourself, they are toxic people who are only holding you back from achieving success. If you realize that someone in your life is acting with malice, it’s time to let go of that relationship. And even though ending relationships can be difficult, if that person is producing negative energy in your life, it’s not worth having them by your side. No matter how challenging it may be, you’ll feel a weight lifted off your shoulders afterward.
