50 Habits of Successful People (21-30)


50 Habits of Successful People

(21-30)

21. They don’t believe in, or wait for fate, destiny, chance or luck to determine or shape their future. They believe in, and are committed to actively and consciously creating their own best life

22. While many people are reactive, they are proactive. They take action before they have to

23. They are more effective than most of 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 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 and 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 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 that importance of discipline and self-control. They are strong. They are happy to take the road less travelled.

Reflection: Jimmy the Rope Climber

We learned about a child names Jimmy who CTR. He chose to be honest instead of lying about him touching the beam in this rope climbing test. He is a trustworthy person, because he told the truth instead of lying dishonorably. He is a winner, not because of the rope contest but because he told the truth.
