5 Things You Should Give Up If You Want To Be Successful In Life.

Sometimes, to become a successful person you will get closer to the person you can become, you don’t need to add more things — you need to give some of them.

There would be certain things that are universal, which will make you successful if you don't give up on them, even though each one of us could have a different definition of success.

You can give up on some of them as soon as possible, while it might take a bit longer to give up on others.

GIVE UP ON THE UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE

“Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” — Jim Rohn

If you want to achieve anything in life easy, everything starts here. First, you should take care of your health, and this are some of the things you should keep in mind:

QUALITY SLEEP
HEALTHY DIET
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Try to do this and you will thank yourself one day.

GIVE UP YOUR MINDSET

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” — Mae West

Successful people set long-term goals, and they know these aims are merely the result of short-term habits that they need to do every day.

These healthy habits shouldn’t be something you do; they should be something you embody.

There is a difference between: “Working out to get a summer body” and “Working out because that’s who you are.”

GIVE UP PLAYING SMALL

“Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone, and as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

— Marianne Williamson

If you never try and take great opportunities or allow your dreams to become realities, you will never unleash your true potential.

And the world will never benefit from what you could have achieved.

So voice your ideas, don’t be afraid to fail, and certainly don’t be afraid to succeed.

GIVE UP EXCUSES

“It’s not about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play the hand.”
― Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

Successful people know that they are responsible for their life, no matter their starting point, weaknesses, and past failures.

Realizing that you are responsible for what happens next in your life is both frightening and exciting.

And when you do, that becomes the only way you can become successful, because excuses limit and prevent us from growing personally and professionally.

Own your life; no one else will.

GIVE UP FIXED MINDSET

“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways.” ― Robert Greene, Mastery

People with a fixed mindset think their intelligence are per-determined traits that cannot be changed. They also believe that talent alone leads to success — without hard work. But they’re wrong.

Successful people know this. They invest an immense amount of time on a daily basis to develop a growth mindset, acquire new knowledge, learn new skills and change their perception so that it can benefit their lives.

Who you are today is not who you have to be tomorrow.
