Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do.

Excellent article, thanks for sharing!
Interesting and some great points. I definitely need to exercise my willpower muscle haha. Especially when it comes to dieting.
Thanks.7 Habbits of Higly Effective People:
1. be proactive
2. begin with the end of mind
3. put first things first
4. think win/win
5. seek first to understand, then to be understood
6. synergize
7. sharpen the sawGreat article. Themes are those I have heard before.
Funny thing you know – they actually work too. I know when I have put my goals in writing and been specific about it- they happen.
Ok… now I have to get back to that habit- being specific and clear about my goals…………From a personal perspective, I think 2 things that have made me successful (well in my own mind and according to my own standards, I am successful) are these:
1) I set goals,I write them down, and then I create plans to achieve them, then I work the plans. A great tip, is to also know why you want to achieve those goals – including the emotional reasons.
2) I have a mindset of continuous, never ending improvement. I always aim and strive to improve myself in the most important aspects of my life – business, relationships, money, fun, family, etc
A couple of good points i need to adopt in day to day life.
it's a good reference to read… but not all of it works on everything… but I do appreciate it and the content is amazing thanks for posting
