It is said that a person’s luck is in his hands, but this ‘hand’ is actually his ‘habits’. Habits are the foundation on which the building of success or failure of any person stands. The interesting thing is that the habits that bring a person to the height, the same habits can fall down to someone else. The only difference is that in which direction, in which direction, for what purpose and how they have been adopted. Let’s know how some common habits can become the basis of your success, and how the same habits walk in the wrong direction, then they cause failure.
1. Diligence and Hard work – Blessing, curse too
In positive direction:
When a person works hard towards his goal with constant and focus, hard work becomes his greatest strength. The world’s most successful people – such as APJ Abdul Kalam, Alan Musk or Sachin Tendulkar – were hidden at the root of success.
In negative direction:
But if this dedication is in the wrong direction without analysis, then it keeps dragging you towards the wrong goal for years. For example, if a person works very hard in the wrong career but is not happy from inside, he is surrounded by tiredness and dissatisfaction.
2. Perfectionism – Properties, blockage too
In positive direction:
Perfectionism means the desire to make everything the best leads a person to excellence. If this habit is balanced, it makes the person superior in his field.
In negative direction:
But if this habit becomes excessive, then the person starts getting disappointed with every little mistake. It is late to make decisions and sometimes it becomes his habit ‘to start anything’ – because he wants everything to be perfect.
3. Santosh – Mental peace, also hindering development
In positive direction:
The sense of satisfaction protects the person from stress and he expresses gratitude for his achievements, which keeps the mind calm.
In negative direction:
But if this satisfaction turns into self -endosh, then it stops the development of the person. He does not try to move forward, does not learn new skills and stays there.
4. Discipline – Stability, hardness too
In positive direction:
With discipline, the person follows time, focuses on the goal and becomes responsible. This is the direct way of success.
In negative direction:
But if the discipline becomes so harsh that the person is not able to keep flexibility, then he is afraid to adopt new opportunities and is not able to adjust in the changing environment.
5. Self -reliance – self -reliance, loneliness too
In positive direction:
A self -reliant person likes to do his own work, which increases his efficiency and confidence.
In negative direction:
But if he ignores teamwork, he is not able to support nor take it. This breaks the ties and goes away from collective success.
Formula of success and failure
The essence of these habits is that no habit is good in itself, nor bad. How and for what purpose it is adopted, he decides its result. The same knife can also cut vegetables and can also hurt – it is only about use.
What to do?
Regular introspection – are your habits taking you forward or pulling back?
Take feedback – Ask family, friends or mentor which habits are making or spoiling your image.
Adopt flexibility – update your habits according to time and situation.
Make small starts-Improving every habit is a big war, but small improvements are steps towards success every day.
