10 best habits of successful people to imbibe to get closer to success-

ACCEPT

In life, people make mistakes; our most cherished ones end up hurting us. And we let that pain break us a tad bit more every day.
Usually, the intentions of such people are not to destroy our life, but to build a better life for themselves.
The people whose mistakes hamper your relationships or business, etc., do not always want to do it that way and hurt you. It is just that they do not know any better.
Accepting is difficult, I know. But, give it a thought. Why carry the baggage of the painful past into your present?

FORGIVE, LEARN and FORGET

Forgiving is about freeing yourself of the pain of the past in the present for a better future.
If your focus is on the pain they gave you, you will become bitter. If your focus is on what they taught you, you will become better.
Thus, always keep the lessons life taught you with yourself; but, try to forget the pain it gave you.
Learn from the past, accept the present and strive for a better future.
Once you start accepting what has happened and move forward with your life, things will improve tremendously.
If you want more from life, accept and embrace the part of yourself that is hurt and keep moving forward with your life.
Use your pain to fuel your future. This is one of the most crucial habits of successful people.

DEDICATE YOUR YEAR TO SOMETHING

Ever heard of how an idle brain is the devil’s workshop?
Well, the good news is that this will not bother you IF you choose to dedicate your year to something useful.
Have a theme for an entire year. You have to know what you are dedicating your year to. You can give it to your health, spirituality, travelling or anything. Then, take consistent steps towards getting better at it.
Setting a theme for the year helps you remain focused. It gives you something to which you can devote your attention.
You do not even need to think it out in too much detail. Just think of it as a simple mission. Decide, follow and await the good results! Let me give you this challenge for the new year. Ready to take it?

WISH

If you are one of those people who say- I wish I had done that/been there/experienced that/met them/got that, this is for you.
Let me tell you a secret. We CAN turn these wishes into our reality! It is true in maximum cases.
If you have always dreamt of starting a business but over time start feeling that you have lost your chance- let me tell you, you have not. You can still take out at least one hour of your day and devote it to the planning for your business. You have to start the same someday and, there is no better time than today.
But, the question is- What can you do to resolve your situation so that you do not let any more opportunities pass by you?
You can still choose to take those classes you have always wanted to take; you can still make success yours!
Yes, you can make it all happen for you.

DREAM

Are you one of those any people who have started giving up on their dreams with age?
Let me tell you, there should be no limit to dreaming. It is one of the most crucial habits of successful people. Think. Today, it is only in our dreams that we can escape reality- and let our imagination go wild.
With age, we start limiting our dreams just like our victories.
Refrain from limiting them! Age is just a number. Dream! Regardless of how high, extravagant, impossible, silly, bizarre and unrealistic it is.
You can wish for anything you want but be very careful of what you wish for or dream of because it might just come true!
Several people think that their dreams have to be realistic, which is not the case at all. You can dream about things beyond your wildest imaginations. Some of the most successful people in the world are also those who have dared to dream.

BE FLEXIBLE

To get the most out of life, you have to keep all your options open, keep your thinking and life flexible. You should be ready for any situation as we are never sure about what life will bring.
The moment you are established in a set pattern, you set yourself up for being knocked off.
We all have set patterns in life. We all like to read certain books, watch particular types of movies, etc. But if we never try other things, our life gets monotonous.
Flexibility brings so much fun into our lives.
Our life is a book- full of different chapters. Each chapter gives us a chance to learn, have fun, explore and meet new people.
A different chapter requires a new you.
Be flexible enough to change.
If you are still reading that same book, going to the same restaurant, interacting with the same set of people, it is time to bring some flexibility in life. After all, you have to close the previous chapter of the book for a new one, probably a better one as well!

BE PRESENT NOW

I do not know what your past was, but it is gone now. There is nothing you can do to change what has happened; this is the harsh truth.
I understand that it is hard to stop dwelling on what has happened. But, if you want to achieve success in life, you have to focus on what is happening in the present.
It does not matter whether your yesterday was amazing or awful. But, you have to leave it behind because you only own today. If you feel regretful and guilty because of the decisions made in the past, know that you are not the only one.
We all have made horrible decisions that have adversely affected us. You can not undo the choices made in the past. But, you can resolve not to make such bad choices again.

As Maya Angelou says- When you know better, you do better.

If the past was nothing less than best, then, rather than feeling downcast about your present, you can feel gratified for the beautiful memories and accept now as it is. Then, you have the option to move on and find other things to explore. We all have to leave the good stuff behind and take up new challenges.
Every day, we can have a fresh start and make the best out of what we have.
See the past as a place you can visit to get a break from the one you live in now. You can go there, but you do not have to live there. The present moment is called present for a reason; it is precious.
Do not miss what is in front of you because of being too busy looking behind you, or else, later you will be busy looking back at this time and wondering why you wasted it.
Use your past as an opportunity in the present for a better future.

CARE FOR YOURSELF

I always believe that we should take care of the vessel we are in. Go for an annual body check-up, eat foods that fill you up with energy, speed your metabolism, and make yourself feel great. Eating junk food and processed food might result in causing long-term damage by clogging up your arteries.
Most people neglect to take regular sleep; but, it is beneficial and necessary for the proper functioning of your body. Sleeping too much can make us feel lazy; sleeping too little can make us feel worn out. Thus, getting the right amount of sleep is what we need.
Take out some time to exercise daily.
Eat on time and provide nourishing foods to your body.
Maintain proper hygiene and work on improving your mental and spiritual health.
Respect your mind and body and take proper care of them.

HAVE CONSISTENCY

Achieving success in life has a lot to do with consistency. It is impossible to talk about the habits of successful people without mentioning their perseverant nature.
There is no point in choosing a path if you are not going to be committed to it.
You can start with a smaller goal. But, if you are consistent with it for a certain period, your results will be astonishing.
Even in our relationships, consistency makes our life easier not only for us but for everybody around us. Erratic people are not easy to live with. Our behaviour towards other people needs to be reliable and consistent.

BELIEVE

Our beliefs shape our lives. You will find that those who have a belief system to sustain them during times of crisis do better than those who do not.
Your beliefs are your thoughts. They can come from what you have gone through in the past or your perceptions.
If you have an empowering belief system, you will do better than those who do not.
Take time to notice your underlying thoughts that form your beliefs. Are they from a sad past or a happy one?
You might want to think about whether your belief system makes you feel guilty or unhappy.
Now, our belief system should be personal to us. You do not have to justify it to anyone else. But, make sure that your belief system provides you comfort.

Success in life is not just about money. In fact, it is more about how you feel from the inside, how you affect the people around you, what type of a friend, partner, and parent you are, and the impact you have. Inculcate these 9 habits of successful people and, you will find yourself among them in no time!
