1) Leave your comfort zone.

If you have the perfect life with all the good fortune and success you desire, stay in your comfort zone. Do not be tempted out of it whatever you do, otherwise be ready to step out of it now.

2) Have the courage to fail.

“ It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live cautiously that you might as not have lived at all,in which case you have failed by default.” — J.k Rowling

When did you last fail at something? Or, perhaps more tellingly, when was the last time you held yourself back from doing something for fear of failure? Worrying about failure must rank as the number one reason why we do not realize move of our dreams.

3) Accept Yourself.

We all seem to spend parts of our life taking pity on ourselves up for things that we might have done or not done, things we might have said or not said. Stop comparing yourself to others and you might just realize that everything’s OKAY.

4) Choose your friends wisely.

“In life you’ll realize that there is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you and some will teach you. But most importantly, some will bring out the best in you.” — Anonymous

Friends can strengthen and improve you or bring you down. Spend any amount of time with the same people and their habits will start to rub off on you. The idea is to have friends who bring out the best in you, help you grow, and will always stand by you.

5) Focus on character not popularity.

“I don’t care whether people like me or dislike me. I’m not on Earth to win a popularity contest. I’m here to be the best human being I possibly can be.” — Tab Hunter

In the real world, how long will the head girl or sportsperson of the year feel fulfilled, successful and happy just because they won a popularity contest? The actress Mia Wasikowska put it so well when she said, “ Popularity is very inconsistent. Sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not. It usually just comes in waves.”

Success doesn’t come to those who sit and wait for it. Success comes to those who work hard for it.
