Every individual has his own set of characteristics that separates him from the rest of society. You may have a lot of positive attributes, such as intelligence and creativity, which can certainly set you up for success. But are you really as successful as you want to be? Are you as successful as you should be? These are the questions that you have to ask yourself because you might just be stopping yourself from achieving real success. A motivational coach will simply tell you that you are the only person who is stopping yourself or holding yourself back from achieving success. So try to become your own motivational coach and push yourself to the limits.

So if you feel as though you are not really as successful as you should be, you have to look deeper inside yourself. What are the factors which have stopped you from becoming truly successful in your life? You need to become more aware of yourself to be able to pinpoint your weak points and look for ways on how to improve yourself. This way, you will know what you should work on and focus on them to actually achieve success in the near future.

Laziness is perhaps one of the most common factors that hold people back from real success. While it is not advisable to stress yourself over your work, projects or whatever endeavours you may have, you should not mistake this for laziness. Do not think that everything should always come easy for you not to become stressed in your life. In reality, stress will always be there, and you just really need to change your attitude towards it. Also, you can actually achieve a lot of things without experiencing stress if you know how to manage things more effectively. For instance, you should set up a schedule about your weekly plans and goals to help you achieve success. This way, you will be able to avoid a lot of overtimes, which can lead to a lot of stress.

Most individuals actually veer away from success because they think that they do not have that unique quality in them that will allow them to achieve greater heights. Some might think that they are not really smart enough to accomplish great things. Others may feel that they do not have the right personality to be able to handle various individuals at work or in different organizations. If you think about it, a lot of successful people do not actually have a unique star quality that you are looking for. They just really worked hard to achieve their goals and plans, which is something that you should also do. Remember, even if you have a unique quality or character, you will never become successful if you just sit around and wait for success to come. You also have to do your own share of hard work in order to be truly successful in your field. The rest are just excuses that most people come up with to explain why they have not really achieved success.

A while ago I was reading a fantastic success magazine. There is so many out there and I do recommend reading some as there are a lot of things you can learn from these.

One of the biggest lessons we need to learn which came from a success magazine is accepting responsibility.

Accepting personal responsibility includes:

Acknowledging that you are solely responsible for the choices in your life.

Accepting that only you are responsible for what you choose to feel or think.

Accepting that you alone choose the direction of your life.

Accepting that you cannot blame others for the choices that you have made.

Recognising that as you enter adulthood and maturity, you determine how your self-esteem will develop.

Not feeling sorry for the “rough deal” you have been handed but taking hold of your life  and giving it direction and reason.

Letting go of your sense of over responsibility for others.

Protecting and nurturing your health and emotional well being.

Taking an honest inventory of your strengths, abilities, talents, virtues and positive points.

Developing positive, affirming self-talk to enhance your personal development and growth.

Letting go of blame, anger and resentment towards those in your past.

What do people believe who have not accepted personal responsibility?

It’s not my fault. I am the way I am.

I never asked to be born.

I want you to fix me.

Life is unfair! There is no sense in trying to take control of my life.

Why go on; I see no use in it.

How can I ever be happy, seeing how bad my life has been?

My parents made me who I am today!

Racism, bigotry, prejudice, sexism, ageism and closed mindedness all stand in the

way of my becoming what I really want to be.

No matter how hard I work, I will never get ahead.

You have to accept the luck of the draw.

When you have not accepted personal responsibility, you can run the risk of becoming:

Overly dependent on others for recognition, approval, affirmation and acceptance.

Chronically hostile, angry or depressed over how unfairly you have been or are being treated.

Fearful about ever taking a risk or making a decision.

Overwhelmed by disabling fears.

Unsuccessful at the enterprises you take on in life.

Unsuccessful in personal relationships.

Emotionally or physically unhealthy.

Sue Stone was on the road to failure 10 years ago. Her company was on the verge of collapse and she had 250 thousand pounds worth of debts. A lot of things had also gone wrong with her marriage, so happiness was definitely elusive at the time. Before experiencing these challenges, Sue almost had everything: a great manufacturing company, a wonderful married life, plus three beautiful children. Unfortunately, her world was turned upside down within a few months. She split from her husband and was left to take care of their kids as a single parent, at the same time facing the possibility of being homeless.
