This article's goal is to determine what hinders most people from succeeding. Using the idea of success that we introduced earlier, the question becomes: Why do most people fail to develop themselves?
When you develop yourself, you focus more on the few things in life that truly matter. "Most people fail because they simply waste their efforts on minor matters," wrote American author Jim Rohn. To be successful, you must choose the people you spend your time with wisely and avoid spending too much time with people who rarely try to improve their quality of life.
Likewise, you cannot continue to consume unhealthy food, no matter what your partner or coworkers decide to eat. You should devote most of your time to engaging in high-quality activities. Success entails achieving a balance between several basic aspects of life (the spiritual aspect, relationships with others, the financial aspect, and finally physical health.)
When you balance between these aspects as a result of your success, you will pay more attention to the few things that really matter and ignore everything else, and you won't be able to justify poor performance. "Considering almost everything in your life insignificant is not an exaggeration," writes American author Greg McKeown.
Before you reach a high level of self-development, it will be okay to spend your time with almost anyone, overlook the quality of your food, and accept low-quality actions and behaviors.
However, when you gain a deeper insight into yourself, you realize that some changes need to be made, that you need to stop splurging on entertainment and unhealthy food, and that you need to save more money and invest it in developing yourself and your skills.
The more successful you are, the less likely you are to justify low-yielding actions and behaviors. You also become more focused, realize that your daily habits must be high-yielding, and demand a consistently higher level of quality. It is not about striving for perfection, and success does not mean that you are busy all the time. If your daily habits are of poor quality, you cannot expect good results in your life.
Your options (and your relationships as well) should become of higher quality
Each aspect of your life affects other aspects. Therefore, it can be said that your style in a certain aspect of your life applies to all other aspects.
Only those who have decided to purge everything in their lives that is not useful will be able to understand this advanced level of thought. You need to fill your daily life with habits and activities that you greatly value if you want to adhere to this principle.
You will be in control of all other aspects of your life when you devote your time only to the few things that you value and find success in. You should only focus on the things that are important to you and gradually get rid of everything else.
You live your life in a conscious, organized, and harmonious way, with the necessary enthusiasm with balance, and you are becoming the person you've always dreamed of being. Actually, accomplishing this requires persistence and time. It can be challenging to decline wonderful opportunities when they don't align with your goals and to break bad habits.
In sum, it takes a lot of courage to adopt a new way of thinking and to have a wider perspective. On the other hand, it's very simple to take a step back and return to a level of thinking that accepts below-average and average performance.
However, when you get closer to living according to your values and ideals, amazing things start to happen. For example, you will feel happier, be more physically and emotionally present with the people you love, spend your time more wisely, have higher aspirations and dreams, and be more resilient when facing difficulties. As a result, you will live a life of greater quality.
You'll notice the results in almost everything around you. Why do most of us fail, then? Simply because, as Jim Rohn said, they waste their time and energy on minor matters. In other words, most people will fail because they are distracted by insignificant issues. Unfortunately, most people never succeed, advance, or develop themselves, but you will. You know that you are capable, and you have already taken your first steps toward success. Otherwise why did you decide to read this article?
In conclusion
Every day you get closer towards achieving your dream. After a short period of time you will fully commit to the plan you set to achieve the life you want, and be the person you dream of. Nothing will stop you once you reach the point of no return
