THINGS TO GIVE UP (STOP DOING THEM).

A lot of times we keep doing things which in one way or another reduce our chances of succeeding or progressing in our daily lives with or without being aware of.

But sometimes we find ourselves doing them even after realizing that they don't push us anywhere towards achieving our success.

At times we even dare to complain or blame others just because we failed to achieve our desired goals because the things we used to do didn't move us close to our goals.

The time has come......It's now time to make some tough changes. Changes which will not only remove you out of your comfort zone, but also move you towards your goals.

Here is a lit of things which you should give up or stop doing from now onwards:

1. STOP DOUBTING YOURSELF:
Many times most of the people repeat doubting themselves. You keep hearing people say ooh! I don't think if I will be able do this or that, I don't think if I can get it right and so on.
But let me tell you one thing today, the more you keep on doubting yourself, the more you will be pushing yourself back, away and out of your goals.

Remember 'doubts' always hold you back from doing things you want or need to do. Therefore, stop doubting yourself and start living. Always BELIEVE while others DOUBT.

2. AVOID NEGATIVE THINKING & TALKING:
Believe me or not, your thinking & talking have big impact into your life. The way you think of your idea, is the way you will end up getting the same results.

Example: If a business opportunity falls in your hands and you're being asked whether you will take it or not, if you say YES, then automatically your mind will start thinking, visualizing about various ways & strategies you will have to take in order to make that business a successful one, but if you start thinking negatively, you will obviously start thinking of how how tough it will be, how  and how long it will take to achieve that goal.
Therefore, learn to think and talk in a positive way.
Think of how it will feel after achieving your goals.
Think of how you will soon become a billionaire.
Think of how many people you will inspire when you do it right.

3. STOP PLEASING EVERYONE:
At times it is good to do things which will please our loved ones, but you shouldn't be doing it each and every day

Example: You will find that a man trying to please his friends every day you go out to a club, parties or on various occasions by just paying each bill which arrives. It is true that your friends will appreciate you and bless you for your kind heart, but in the end why not use that money to pay the rent of that office you wanted to run your company, or why not accumulate it and start buying a plot/land which you have always dream about having it, or why not invest it in stocks and shares rather than trying to spend it just to please everyone?
Think twice!!

4. AVOID PROCRASTINATION:
It is the act of postponing intentionally something which had to be done now till later, tomorrow or the next day.
This act has caused many people a lot of problems such as delaying their interviews, failure to establish the intended business, and the like.

5. FEAR:
It's true that at one point or the other each one of us encounters fear. But the question is should we keep on fearing? If YES, then for how long will we keep on fearing?

When you honestly ask yourself this question you will come to an answer that there is no way of continuing fearing.
Know that fear kills dreams and every hope that you have, fear paralyzes and even keeps people in hospitals (especially if you have fear of losing your job), fear makes people not believe in their capabilities/abilities and even affects their normal thinking.

So, the question is what should what to do then to overcome this so called fear as many of you would ask?
Well!! The only way you can overcome any kind of FEAR that you will ever encounter is to be FEARLESS.

F - Face the truth, face what really scares you and try to expose yourself to that fear.
E - Erase your negative imprints. Your past is past, never bring your past fears into present situation.
A - Allow changes. Don't hesitate to make ones in case you have to.
R - Relax. Reduce your stress and calm down.
L - Listen to your intuition.
E - End feuds or quarrels or dispute.
S - Selective. Pursue those things which don't inspire fear in you.
S- Secure in yourself. Work on self esteem.

All in all just know that F.E.A.R simply means:
FEAR - Forget Everything And Run
OR
FEAR - Face Everything And Rise
I suggest you start facing everything and rise rather than running away from your fears.

6. STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS:
Now let me simply keep it this way, every one was born with his/her own abilities, uniqueness's, skills, IQ, luck, and so on. Therefore, from now onwards stop comparing yourself to others.

Everyone was born a winner, but the reason why keep on becoming a loser is because you try to run the race which is not yours. Don't try to run other people's race, just focus on running your own race and you will be successful.

Be yourself, believe in yourself, learn from them but don't copy their life and paste it into yours.
Don't ever compare your chapter 1 to someone else chapter 20.

7. STOP OVERSPENDING:
Well! Here is another problem especially to most of Africans.

It is not advised to stop spending, of course even the rich spend but the thing is do you spend it wisely?
Before spending, ask yourself do you have it or do you expect to borrow it, did you plan for it, what will remain after you have spent so much?

The problem with the poor is that they earn very little, in fact what they get can not even sustain their lives, but they don't plan for it at all and in fact if you try and look at their expenses you will be surprised and even shocked, their expenses are more than what they earn. Ooh! Ooh! That means you are in financial debts.

Learn to budget yourself, plan for each cent that you earn and ensure to use part of your income on savings and investments.
No matter how little you earn, if you make proper plans and budgeting you will always be financially free.

8. STOP BEING LAZY:
A lot of us are too lazy but at the end of the day we keep complaining that life is really tough.
You are lazy at waking up.
You are lazy to thinking.
You are lazy to take responsibilities and at times you even run away from them.
You are lazy at acting or responding quickly.
You are lazy at working hard.
You are lazy at achieving your goals.

Then why the hell do you expect to succeed? Why the hell do you expect to achieve your goals?
Start changing your habit of laziness. Work hard, be determine, take responsibilities and be fast at acting on them.
Your laziness won't get you anywhere.

9. STOP WASTING YOUR TIME:
Ooh! time you left me in a hurry I couldn't do this or that. This is what I come across with when I meet different people.

They normally complain about time being so short that they couldn't achieve what they wanted to.
Of course time doesn't rest, but the good thing is whether you are rich or poor we both get 24 hours a day.

Then, why do others get to achieve their goals within this time frame while others keep saying time isn't enough?
The problem is that most of you don't know how to manage your time wisely. You don't have prioritize in your lives, you keep doing unnecessary and unimportant things with your time and that is why you always find in short of time, that is why you are always behind time.

Learn to manage your time properly, spend it wisely on things that matters the most to you, on things that are going to move you closer to your dreams.

Today, make it your passion not to waste your time, make the most of each second you have and dedicate yourself to performing at your highest level.
