You Will Never Be Successful!

As I was scrolling down on my Facebook feed, I saw another post that captured my attention. Well, if you've been reading some of my articles, you probably know by now that whenever a Facebook post attracts my attention, I tend to write about it here on read.cash to share it with all of you, especially when I know that it will also benefit you as a reader and human being.

The article is about The 9 Habits of Highly Unsuccessful People. You can click the highlighted words to see and read the exact article I've read.

Some time ago, I've published an article, "I am Successful in My Own Little Ways". In this article, I have shared some of my little successes and victories since I was born into this world. Though I have said there that we are all successful in our own ways and that we have our own definition of success, I also think that not all of us will be successful if we possess these 9 bad habits that will hinder us from becoming successful.

A week ago, I also wrote an article about "The Habits that Won't make you a Millionaire" where I've assessed myself if I have these habits. You can also click the highlighted words to read that article.

Have you ever dreamed of getting to do something, but you tend to fail even though you think you've already worked hard enough to accomplish it?

You might wonder, what did you do wrong or where did you lack at?

Sometimes, we tend to be unsuccessful or fail at things we want to do because we're not doing things the right way.

So in this article, allow me to share with you those 9 Bad habits that unsuccessful people possess that you might also have, based on my own understanding, according to the list of Awareness Act.

You Will Never Be Successful:

1. If you are very Impatient

Unsuccessful people don't know how to wait for the perfect timing or are always in a hurry.

Let's say in the sense of investments, they are the kind of people who would jump into "Get-rich-quick" schemes even though there is a high chance that what they're getting into is just a scam that will take away their money.

Personally, I tend to be impatient whenever I am waiting for something. I value my time so much and I don't want it to be wasted, because time wasted can never be returned. But when it is on some things, I believe in perfect timing.

2. If you put the most effort into the wrong things

Unsuccessful people tend to be playful and misplace their efforts with unimportant things instead of putting them into their priorities.

For students, instead of studying for their upcoming exams, some would just waste their time browsing on social media or playing online games, instead of just reviewing their lessons. And in the end, they would rant about getting a low score even if they say they did review their notes. (Ops! I'm guilty here. Lol)

3. If you never bother to look at the glass as ‘half-full.’

How do you see a glass with some water in it? Is it half-empty or half-full?

Unsuccessful people are always looking at the glass as half-empty where they would complain about the things they do not have instead of being grateful for the things that they already have. Sometimes, they would even compare their glasses (their lives) with other people not realizing that everyone has a different kind of glass.

If you see a glass-half-empty, you're a pessimistic person who sees things negatively, but if you see a glass-half-full, you're an optimistic person.

4. If you are always procrastinating

Unsuccessful people always have excuses not to do the things that they should do. They would rather do it tomorrow instead of doing it today. Sometimes, they would even wait for the last minute before actually making a move.

I have to be real, I do procrastinate especially on the things that I don't feel like doing or are difficult to do. But this is a habit that one must get rid of to get things done at the right time.

5. If you are not as open to change as you should be.

Change is the only constant thing in the world, so whether we like it or not, we are bound to change.

Unsuccessful people badly want some changes in their lives but these same people don't even dare to make a change. You don't get what you want if you don't work hard to get it.

6. If you try to multitask all the while not putting enough effort into anything.

It's not bad to multi-task especially if you're used to it already, but make sure that you put enough time and effort into each of these tasks so that they will be done flawlessly.

Sometimes, we tend to multitask and pile things up but we also overlook if we are still giving our hundred percent best to the things we are doing. It's okay to take one task at a time making sure that we give our best into it.

7. If you don't believe in yourself.

If there is someone who should never doubt his/her own capabilities, it's you.

Sometimes, we don't accomplish our dreams and goals in life because we don't believe in the power of our dreams, which should not be. Stop questioning your abilities and start believing that you can achieve the kind of success you want.

8. If you talk yourself out of trying new things.

Not taking risks is what makes you unsuccessful. Staying in your comfort zone and not trying new things will never challenge yourself, in which you won't be able to bring out your best potential.

As someone who doesn't take so much risk in life and love (lol), I can attest that you'll be missing out on some things if you don't go out of your box. Failing is terrifying but you will never learn the best lessons in life unless you get to stumble and fall and rise up again.

9. If you spend too much time complaining.

Unsuccessful people complain a lot. They complain about why do they have to do this and that instead of just getting into work and finish the task on time.

It's not as if the task will be done by complaining so why bother wasting your time with it when you can just start doing the task? Use your time wisely.

I'm not saying that I do not possess some of these bad habits listed above, but if you do, it's time to reevaluate yourself and get rid of these habits to get the success you want.

You will be successful if you put your mind to the things you want!
