In today’s article, 5 things you must not do in life that stops success.

I will explain the preventive measures we need to apply to move our life forward. We should look at all the things we must stop that holds us back. Looking at it as anchors that weigh us down so much that it stops us from succeeding. Only then can you find solutions to move forward.

I hope this article opens your mind to self-awareness and a change you have been searching for.

What Prevents Success?

For me, this is a simple question to answer. The answer is YOU! There’s always obstacles and different challenges we all have to face in different ways. What gets in the way the most is ourselves. Whether it’s doubt, fear or a lack of self-confidence. It’s our own mind that needs to change to be a success.

I think we all deal with this. But the people who do succeed are the one’s who don’t let it control them and find ways to prevent it from surfacing or find ways to push through it.

The human brain will always let you know when it perceives something as being dangerous but you always have the choice to listen to it or ignore it and do it anyway. In some cases this is good but when it comes to overcoming our fears we silence that voice. For example, the brain can only see you jumping out of the plane as danger whereas your human part knows that you are skydiving.

Working together with your brain to understand your life by knowing the difference between danger and progress can help you achieve a lot more success.

To make sure our mind doesn’t hold us back. There are 5 things you must not do in life that stops success that I will discuss below. Once we get out of our own way. Then we can enjoy all the successes we have envisioned.

5 Things You Must Not Do In Life That Stops Success

1. Don’t Live With Regret

One of the most painful things the older generation say is they regret the things they didn’t do or regret not being happier. No one wants to get old and have major regrets. That’s why you have to look at it every day as if this was the last day on earth.

This thinking will unlock a feeling of urgency and purpose. Because when you don’t think like this you can use good old procrastination and say to yourself I will do it tomorrow. This mentality does not understand we only have a short time on Earth.

That’s why you should make it your life purpose to take more risks, to do the things you love to do, spend it with the people you love and travel to the places you have always wanted to visit.

Get out of your own way and make this happen. I promise you, you won’t regret it.

2. Don’t Live With Fear

Fear can affect us all in different ways. It can be great when sensing real danger like spider-sense but it’s not too good at switching off when we need to overcome our fears to progress.

That’s why we can’t always listen to fear, we must rationalise for the world we live in today not the one we lived in thousands of years ago. Living with fear holds people back so much from pursuing their goals and wants in life.

That’s why we need to chase our discomforts because on the other side of fear you experience a whole range of different emotions, like happiness and proudness.

So get out of your own head and do the things you want to do and when fear pops up again let it flow through you and do it anyway.

3. Don’t Live With Too Much Comfort

We live life these days like never before in human history. The kings and queens of the past might even be jealous. But one thing successes hates is comfort because nothing of progress comes from a mindset of comfort. Why? Because you will never push your self into a position where you might fail or make mistakes.

That’s why you should seek and chase discomfort as your life depends on it. Basic comfort needs are great but you need to find ways to condition yourself to not let this become everything you are. Just watch Rocky 4.

Comfort breeds complacency you just have to look at sports stars who let their comforts change them into different people. Whereas what got them to the top was the discomfort. Don’t let comfort suck you in or else you will be trapped and lead an unfulfilled life.

4. Don’t Live With A Mindset Of What Always Was

Living in the past can seriously hold you back if you let it. Just like the anchor analogy. Being anchored to the past stops any progress in the present and future. You have to learn to go to the past for good feelings.

The world changes, people change and the ability to adapt to the changing times is crucial to keeping ahead of the game of life. If you just keep doing what you did in the past then watch your business crumble.

We see it all the time with retail giants having to sell up because they didn’t go online. Instead of having a mindset, this has always been the way you should have what could be a new way.

5. Don’t People Please

Deep down we all know what we want to do with our life. But sometimes our attachment to our family’s wants can hold us back. If we people please too much we will surely affect our mental health and become unhappy with the person we are becoming that’s not who we are. So don’t people please. Look out for you and what you want from your life.
