What is the secret of successful people?
Are they any different from us? Not necessarily!
They also have ups and downs, but they have habits that keep pushing them to pursue and realize their dreams…
Looking for motivation and encouragement?
How are these people doing it? Are they really that different from you and me?
This post will answer these questions and will also give you the 15 habits that they all adapted to be where they are today.
What does it even mean, to be successful?!
Amazing question!
And in the eyes of whom? Society, our friends and family? Ourselves?
First, you need to think about it.
What does it mean to YOU, being successful?
Maybe…
- Does it mean that you realized something you always wanted to?
- Does it mean that you are financially stable?
- Does it mean that you have now a reason to wake up in the morning?
- Does it mean that when you see yourself in the mirror, you feel confident and proud of who you are?
- And so many more possibilities…!
What are you going to feel, the moment you’ll be successful?
There is something that I absolutely love is the fact that our brain has no time.
Nope! You can picture yourself in a situation, close your eyes, and your brain can order your whole body to feel the way you would if you were really in this situation.
Try it! Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a place you really like to be. How are you feeling? What are the feelings, the emotions? What are the thoughts that come to your mind?
Do the same with the way of being successful to you.
Ask yourself: “I’m successful. In what situation can I say this?” and also and most important “How am I feeling?”. Write down the answers and continue picturing yourself.
How did I find these habits?
I’m following successful people and I can see what’s the message they are transmitting and what does it say about them, at least it’s my interpretation.
I also have around people that say that they are successful and some that I could say “they definitely are successful!” and it doesn’t matter if it’s in their eyes or in mine!
So all of these habits are from my own point of view so we can debate about them 😉 let me know what you think about them in the comments!
The 15 habits that will take you straight to success

- They have a purpose in life, a “why”, they know what it is and they are reminding themselves about it frequently.

How to have these habits?
Pick one or 2 habits to start with.
Do it a few days and then, try to get another one.
Put your attention on the quality and not the quantity.
You better start with a few habits and make sure you’re “doing them” good, before adding more to your plate.
The hardest with habits is to keep them… So, start slowly and you’ll do great!
These successful people aren’t perfect… they are doing their best!
As you can imagine, these successful people aren’t perfect.
But they are doing what they can to pursue their dreams and to become successful.
Consistency
It’s really not going to be easy.
The key is to be consistent. One step a day, forward is forward, just keep on moving and you’ll see results.
Have a look at this picture, print it and look at it days that you’re wondering why you’re doing what you’re doing.
Be strong, be brave, keep on going, you’ve got this!!
