Being successful is one of the hardest things to do nowadays with so many obstacles in our way. The only thing that is actually stopping us from doing what we want to do is ourselves. Laziness, procrastination, basically its our habits that determine whether or not we are going to be successful. Creating good new habits and breaking the old bad ones are important for becoming a successful human being. Below I listed a few habits that I try to keep up with everyday.

1. Wake Up Before Everyone Else.

The early bird catches the worm. If you wake up early you have a head start on the day. While everyone is sleeping your up and being productive!

2. Get Some Exercise In.

Working out is integral to being healthy and fit. I am a firm believer in exercising the mind and body. It's hard to force yourself to run on that treadmill for an hour but afterwords you will feel good about yourself.

3. Eat Healthy.

READ THE LABELS! I cannot stress this enough, please make sure you know what you are eating. Something that you may have though was healthy could be the complete opposite. Set up a schedule, try and eat healthy majority of the week and then Friday and Saturday treat yourself.

5. Don't make excuses.

They only person that is stopping you from doing what you want to do is you. Don't blame others for your mistakes because you are responsible for yourself and actions. You are the one thing in life you can control (Yes, I did steal this from Hamilton).

6. Stay Focused

With the advancement of technology, our attention span is slowly diminishing. It's important for you to turn off the cellphone while focusing on something. That way no outside distraction can interrupt you.

7. Do Not Fear Failure.

Failure is one of the best parts of being human. We learn through trial and error. If people were afraid to fail we wouldn't have much because people would be too afraid to follow their dreams. You're going to fail with somethings, that's guaranteed, but it is learning from your failure that will help you be successful.

8. Work On Passion Projects

If your interested in something, pursue it! Write down your ideas and develop them. Working on passion projects is a great stress reliever and a great way of being productive.

9. Helping Others.

You can't be successful by being egotistical. You have to be willing to help others. Plus it will make you feel good.

10. Never Give Up.

At first if you don't succeed, try and try again. We heard this saying growing up a bunch of times. You must be consistent in perfecting something you want to do. Don't be a quitter, giving up at the first sign of trouble. Push yourself to reach your goal!
