5 habits of people who are remarkably successful

It is undoubtful, we all believe that success of an individual completely depends on his hard work as this was how our teacher at primary school taught us. If that is so, millions of people who work hard every day must have been more successful, right? When we have a deeper look at the lives of people who are more successful(people who have complete financial freedom and people who are in higher designations) possess some different qualities that have enabled them to reach higher levels.

Let me now simplify and jot down the five major steps which successful people must have allowed in their lives to scale up to their positions.

1 Handling emotions

The success of an individual depends on how he handles his emotions. In fact, the people who are more successful are the people who know to handle their emotions intelligently. Millions of examples can be quoted for this. Perhaps, the best example that strikes me is a lady software engineer who was one of my trainees in the position of a project manager in a leading software company. Most often they leave the company and reach home by late evening after which she has to take care of her family members, both these tasks involves more stress and if she is not able to manage her emotions naturally she would have been unsuccessful both in the process as a home maker at home and as a project manager at her office. This is the situations with most of the women especially those in higher designations. Positive mental attitude like joy, gratitude, serenity, interest, pride, hope, love are always the signs of successful people. Emotions like fear, anger, anxiety, sorrow could bring nothing but failures.

2 Staying happy

Success for some people is to make more money and for few others it to become famous. However, the outcome of success is happiness. The modern theory says only people who are more happy can be more successful in their life. Serotonin, which is a chemical created by the human body acts as a neurotransmitter influences the majority of the brain cells. The deficiency of serotonin would lead to loss of appetite, energy, sleep, memory and sexual desire, the secretion of serotonin depends on the happiness of an individual. The Americans who stand as one of the top ten happiest people in the world are the successful too. The ‘Live Happy’ magazine states that people who are extremely happy always are the people who are more audacious and can easily handle a tough situation in life.

3 Eat well

We all know that eating healthy food helps in improving our physic and in avoiding health issues, but food plays a major role in have more energy, feel great, improve your outlook and stabilize your mood too. Most of the people, students especially who prepare for their board exams, software engineers sometimes never care for their food hoping for doing best at their work which would only give a negative effect. Thomas Corley, the author of ‘Rich Habits: The Daily Success Habits Of Wealthy Individuals’ says rich people value their health, watch their waistline and count calories everyday. He says that is because they know the end of their career is the biggest earning years and they always expect to extend their career four to five years beyond everyone else.

Give way for others

We have always either misunderstood what success  is, or never understood. I used to ask my trainees to define success during most of my training sessions and for which I receive no answer or only irrelevant answers. I strongly believe that one cannot succeed without knowing what success is and where his success in life is. We all believe that for me to succeed in life someone has to fail which never happens. Nepoleon Hills defines success as the process of getting whatever we want from life without affecting the principles of others and helping others to achieve it. Successful people are those who have analyzed what they exactly want in their life and are also the people who help others to achieve it.

Sleep on it

We have learnt about successful people and imagine to ourselves that it is either fatalistic or luck. Perhaps we fail to realize that they have sweat on it for years together. Success is never a one day story, it takes months or sometimes years to reach our vision, but what is more required is to stay focused and determined until the goal is reached. The  successful entrepreneurs, eminent sports persons all have one thing in common, they all have reaalised where they have to be and what they have to do and work continuously on it.

All of which is interesting, but are these findings useful? Kindly write to me, your feedback would make me more energetic. Also do remember a fact that any training programme or self help article would become successful when it is realised and practiced in life.
