Why are some people successful in everything and others not inable to achieve what you want? In order to understand how to achieve success, let's first define what it is. Success is when you get what you wanted to get. It gives you the opportunity to realize that you have achieved your goal and fulfilled your plans, and you feel like a winner, not a loser. Success gives you confidence, and you straighten your shoulders, feeling happy and satisfied. Contrary to popular belief, there are no lucky and unlucky people. But there are people who have a high potential for success and who do everything to use this potential. And there are people who have the same potential, but they do nothing to realize it. That's the whole difference! The only thing you need to do to succeed is to do the same thing that all successful people do. When you learn everything that is discussed in our article, you will be able to change your attitudes to the mentality of a successful person, which means you will always achieve what you want.
What can make you a loser?
If you really want to succeed,then you must have a firm idea of what could limit your potential and lead to failure. So to speak, proof by contradiction. So, successful people reject:
- False beliefs These are incorrect ideas aboutexternal factors or about yourself. An example of a false belief would be a situation where a person does not allow himself to set a goal – “get the best job!” Instead, he thinks: “I will never be able to find a good job, in this day and age!” False beliefs act as a limiter of your true potential, and therefore your success. They can not only limit your opportunities, but can even ruin your life. For example, some women, after breaking up with a loved one, suffer from loneliness for the rest of their lives only because they have formed false ideas about love under the influence of information they received from the media. The consciousness of such a woman will not perceive signals from the reality around her about a new possible love, since she has made an internal attitude that she will never look for a replacement for the man she broke up with. “All men are bastards,” she is convinced, and thereby cuts off her path to happiness with a wonderful, kind and caring man who has long looked at her with sympathy.
- External locus of control This is a way of thinking,which makes a person believe that everything that happens to him depends not on him, but on some external factors. For example, when a girl says that the teacher was too picky with her when she failed an exam; or when your friend says that she cannot find a good job because there is unemployment in the country - all these are examples of an external locus of control. The flip side of this way of thinking is an internal locus of control - a way of thinking that makes you believe that your destiny is in your hands and you are able to control everything that happens to you. None of the successful people have an external locus of control; so if you are serious about being successful, then try to change your way of thinking to one that matches your goal.
- Lack of stamina What's good about havingDo you have many virtues and valuable skills if you have lost hope after the first (well, at least the second) failure? Those people who achieve the best results are also the most persistent of all. They continue to work until the very end, until they get what they want, even if everything was against them from the start, and even if failure overtook them many times. Would you like us to remind you of the famous inventor Thomas Edison? About the fact that more than a thousand explosions occurred in his workshop before the electric light bulb he invented got its start in life? Now that is an example of persistence and, as a result, success!
- Lack of flexibility Flexibility is the abilitya person to adapt to external conditions. It is an opportunity to try to do something in a new way when the old, familiar way turns out to be ineffective. The more flexible you are, the more you will be able to adapt to new conditions, and the higher your chances of success will be.
- Lack of planning If you don’t have goals orplans, you allow yourself to become part of other people's plans. If you don't plan to be a leader at work, someone else will, and if you don't plan to get that high-paying job, someone else will take your place. If you don't plan, you will be sidelined by goal-oriented people. They will take all the prestigious places, make money and become famous, while you will be just a spectator, a witness to their success. That is why planning is the most important point in the toolbox of success!
- Lack of self-confidence If you are not confidentin yourself, you will most likely be afraid to follow through on some of your ideas and will give up on your dream as soon as someone tells you it is impossible. You will avoid any possibility of risk, and thus ignore many opportunities that could lead you to success. If you want to increase your chances of success, you must literally build your self-confidence brick by brick.
- Fears Types of fears that can significantlyaffect your ability to be a successful person are the fear of failure and the fear of success. While they seem to be opposites, both of these fears can have such an impact on you that they prevent you from even trying to do anything. And he who does nothing, of course, does not make mistakes, but he is also never a successful person.

Sometimes ignorance of elementary postulates prevents us from doing the right things. So, if you do not know which way to push the door so that it opens, then you will not be able to open it. People are constantly trying to push the door the wrong way and then wondering why they can't get through it. The reason most people never succeed is because they have misconceptions about success that prevent them from following the right path. Below are the keys to success that will help any of you understand how to succeed. Not only that, you will learn how to achieve your goals and actually be successful if you use these keys:
- Number of Trials Babies learn how to holdan object in their hands only after trying many incorrect ways. Every time a baby tries to pick up something in their fingers and then drops the object, they learn something new about the correct way to hold it. After enough attempts, the child finally learns to pick up and hold the object correctly. The same is true for any learning process and actions to achieve success. If you want to be successful, you must understand that you must overcome failures until you discover which action will work the way you want it to.
- Be Flexible When You Can't ActAs always, take a different approach and try something new. Try to figure out why you failed so that you can learn from and correct your mistakes the next time you try. Every time you discover something new and learn to overcome another obstacle that stands in your way to success, you will take a big step forward on that path.
- Be 100% confident:you will definitely achieve your goal, it simply cannot be otherwise! When Edison was asked how he managed, without losing hope, to try and try a thousand times to make the light bulb he invented glow, even though they exploded one after another, he answered something like this: "Every time another light bulb exploded, I told myself that I had found another way not to invent it!" He was simply one hundred percent sure that he was going to make this invention, and so he knew that it was only a matter of time and the number of attempts.
- Learn to learn Most people who don'tare successful, very often feel helpless in some situations. They simply do not know what they need to do to set a goal, achieve it and thus achieve success. After the first failures or even after the very first misfire, they simply get upset and give up, and this is instead of studying the cause of the fiasco. Whenever you cannot understand what went wrong, contact more experienced people in this area. You can read the necessary literature, enroll in training courses in the profile that interests you - there are many opportunities. The main thing is to learn to understand your topic well and learn how to overcome certain difficulties. And then you will never feel helpless!
- Be psychologically prepared for anythingObstacles People around you will criticize you, maybe even laugh at you, try to undermine your self-confidence, and maybe even start to reject you. But if you really want to be successful, don’t let your dream collapse and don’t turn off the chosen path.
