The Major Difference Between SUCCESSFUL and UNSUCCESSFUL People

#1. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE have the SELF-BELIEF and FAITH in their abilities to motivate, maintain and propel themselves towards their achievements. The word NO seldom exists in their vocabulary. People with self-confidence are often inspiring to others. Unsuccessful People (UNSs) have little self-belief. Their overriding word is CAN’T, and they tend to beat themselves up with negative labels and thoughts most of the time.

#2. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE have a long-term confident VISION of their goals compared to the short-term fearful and anxious approach of the UNSs.

#3. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE take the necessary RISKS and do the JOBS that the USPs fear to do, or would not do. Their COMMITMENT is total. UNSs are often unwilling to make that commitment or to pay the price required for their success. For example, they would rather remain in an unfulfilling, stressful job and blame others for their unhappiness than to take the risk of finding something more satisfactory, rewarding and reinforcing. Iif stress stopping you from achieving your goals then you must read this. They lack the long-term vision, commitment or sacrifice required to get what they truly desire.

#4. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE take the necessary RISKS and do the JOBS that the UNSs fear to do, or would not do. They are willing to TRY all possible ways, and do all kinds of tasks, to get their desires. They don’t care about being ‘wrong’. For them TRYING is more important than ‘failing’ because each ‘wrong’ leads them nearer to being right. Here are the 10 why reasons why successful people sometimes fail? For USPs ‘not failing’ and being ‘right’ are more important than trying. They tend to believe in the ‘easy way’ to achievement, or can see ‘no way’ at all to it.

#5. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE CHALLENGE themselves constantly, routinely making high demands upon themselves and settling for the best they can muster in whatever way possible. UNSs settle very quickly and cheaply for whatever they can get, believing that is the only thing available to them.

#6. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE make strong and unwavering LIFE DECISIONS which they use as guides to personal fulfilment and which they never compromise. UNSs move with the wind in their principles, with few life decisions to guide them. Their thoughts, choices and behavior are dictated mainly by the moment and the context.

#7. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE see SETBACKS as spurs to greater determination and fulfilment of their potential. UNSs regard such obstacles, and any ‘failure’, as reinforcement of their inadequacy, inferiority and perceived lack of talent – a vindication of their low self-belief.

#8. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE judge themselves INTERNALLY, by their own yardstick, not by external praise or criticism. Any external praise acts as a vindication of their own self-belief. They tend to blame no one for their setbacks, believing that all obstacles are tests to improve their skills and talents and bring them nearer to that cherished goal. UNSs tend to fear rejection, always judging themselves by the yardstick of others and competing with them too. UNSs value external approval and praise, which then become self-fulfilling prophecies, and often blaming others when things go against them.

#9. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE tend to be POSITIVE and have an OPEN MIND for learning. They are always seeking knowledge, information and greater options. UNSs tend to have limiting, negative and restricting beliefs about themselves, their world and their ability, based on fear. They prefer the comfort of what little they know to expanding their knowledge and horizons. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE are always improving and learning while unsuccessful ones tend to stay in the same rut of fear, closing out new options, fearing the worst and retreating from experiences which might threaten their comfort zone.

#10. SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE tend to be CONFIDENT and self-assured in their own skins, always creative and with high expectations. UNSs tend to lack confidence and self-esteem, unhappy with who they are but fearing to take action. They can always find one excuse after another for their low expectations, constant desire to be perfect and their lack of achievements.
