10 DANGEROUS HABITS THAT KILLS YOUR PROGRESS

Progress is what makes people motivated. People were so excited if they see themselves making a little bit of improvement everyday. It's easy to become successful and big if your progress is consistent, it's like a snow ball effect, you become bigger and faster, the momentum is on your side and everything seems to fall on the right place. 

1. Thinking that you need to SUCCEED fast.

If you want to become successful fast then it's game over for you. It's because you will get frustrated and will quit every time you can't see an improvement. You will feel dismayed and broken if you can't see yourself winning. Wanting to get it fast will make you fail and quit fast. You have to be patient here, take your time but don't slow down. Be faster than your normal pace, push a little bit but don't ever expect to get huge results right away. The results will come on the right time, you just have to be patient and b willing to wait. The process gets harder because of your neediness to get fast results. This is a process, enjoy the journey, just keep moving forward all the time and never stop.

2. Comparing yourself to other people.

Never care if somebody is succeeding and you're not. Focus on your own journey, focus on your grind. Just give more time for yourself and lesser time for others. They are even irrelevant, you have to go all out and focus on your own work if you want to make faster progress. Getting jealous with other people's success is killing you, you have to go to a different direction if you want to make some changes with your life. 

3. Not trying to evolve anymore.

You're not pushing yourself, you're happy exerting a mediocre effort. You're too lazy and slow. What if you adjust your pace a little bit? what if you just do it instead of overthinking and being afraid of getting tired? don't be afraid of exhaustion because that means you're evolving and growing. Most people were not afraid of the obstacles, they were simply afraid of getting tired and that's why it's hard for them to make a small progress. 

4. Forgetting to believe in yourself. 

Your confidence is gone why? because you're not moving. Remind yourself that you need to believe in yourself, brainwash your own brain and tell your mind that you're going to win no matter what. Believe in yourself and keep working hard, that's how to make a significant progress in your life. 


5. Inconsistency.

There must be a routine in what you do. There should be a technical repetition. You can't be working hard today and will slug off tomorrow. Stay consistent and committed, your effort yesterday should match your effort today or even better. Work even if you feel bad, work even if you don't feel like working. 

6. Checking for progress all the time. 

And what happens if you can't see the progress you are expecting? frustrations, disappointments, wanting to quit right? stop checking for progress because you don't need to check it anymore if you're moving, you're already progressing every time you take actions so don't worry about it. Slow progress is still a progress, it will become faster and faster if you focused on taking actions. 

7. Thinking about what is wrong

There is really nothing wrong id you're taking actions and your intention is right. What is wrong is you're always judging yourself, you're always thinking that you're not doing the right thing that's why you can't become successful. Why not stop looking for what isn't working and just focus on moving forward? don't think about what is wrong, there is nothing wrong with you, you just want to have a smooth sailing that's why you feel that there is something wrong every time you struggle. 


8. Forgetting your purpose. 

What is your purpose in life, why are you doing something? what do you want? You forgot again what you really want that's why you can't make any progress. You're always doing something that is not even related to your goal. You know that it's destroying the progress, you know that it's making your life miserable but you're still doing it. You know better, you need to go back to your purpose, go back to your goal so that you will have a direction. Always remember that at the end of they day you will still do something, why not do something that will give you a small progress. You have to convert your laziness into actions, convert your procrastination into execution. 

9. Always thinking about the future.

Don't think about the future if you're not willing to create a good future. Thinking about it is a waste of time, it's draining your energy because what are you thinking by thinking about the future? failing, bills, hardship, suffering, not making it, time is up, you're late, you're losing again, not a happy life. Stop thinking about the future because you're just making it hard on yourself. It kills the progress, it's stopping you from moving. Life is happening now, focus on the now, progress can only happen if you will embrace the moment. What will happen will happen, don't worry about the future because you have no control over it. And it's not even real, why? because you can never live at it, you can only live on the now. So embrace the present moment and be happy if what is happening now no matter how bad it is because it is still part of your life. 

10. Not being grateful

Being unappreciative, this is a bad attitude because the truth is good things are coming into your life but you just can't see it because you're always looking for what is missing. And looking for what is missing is only creating frustrations and dismay, be happy with what you have because not every person have what you have. Be grateful because being thankful all the time means something good is happening in your life. It is programming your brain that you are in a best position to succeed.
