However, it is ofcourse evident that being successful is a personal decision. You don't need anyone to force you to be successful and certainly do not stop giving that which you do your best shot because someone is not giving you credit or appreciating you for it. Some people miss it when they start feeling that they are doing all in their power but not getting enough credit. That should not be your focus if you truly want to be successful.

If you want to be successful, you cannot start going aimlessly. You must have plans. A lot of people want to be successful but they don't have time or devote time to planning. Planning is a very important metric for success. What you want to do , how you want to do it, must be written down and carefully planned. Even the bible had to say in Habakuk 2 vs 2 that;

2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

You must have a vision and you must have the courage to endure to the end. The path to success is never an easy one but we can all be successful if we want to because Christ has paid all the price. It is now a personal decison. But what are those things we need to let go of for we to be get that success we have been wanting and craving for?. lets head there right away.

5 Things You Need To Let Go Of To Get The Success You Crave For

The following are some of the important things you don't need to do or associate yourself with if you want to be successful in life.

Firstly, you must ensure that you don't associate yourself with negative people. By negative people, I mean people who carry about negative mindsets about life. Negative people are just the direct opposite of postive people. They are never optimistic about life but go about with perssimistic traits. Who we are and the kind of life we live is directly proportional to the kind of mindset we have. If you think you are great, then greatness comes to you once you set out to find it. If you think you can't make it, then there is no way you can make anything out of life. Therefore, what do you need to do? You need to make sure you avoid negative people with negative and wrong mindset as much as possible because their thoughts are toxic anc can influence you into making wrong decisions that can cost you in the long run.

Secondly, you must get set and ready to leave your comfort zone. Some people are comfortable with where they are and never want to push their self to the limit and getting something tangible out of their lives. In Genesis 12 vs 1, the Bible tells us about Abraham who was not lacking anything and said as it is seen below;

Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you;

Yea, family is good and you may be enjoying their company but brothers and sisters, there is something about personal success. I was solving a mathematics problem one day and I could get the answer as much as I tried and the only option I had was for someone to put me through. Of course people did. It got to a point, I just find myself going to them continously for them to solve my mathematics problems. But then, a day came and I said to myself that If i dont get it, I wont leave where I was. I solved and solved, connected dots and connected formulas and at the end I got it. I was so happy that I had to take myself out that day to take icecream. That is what personal success fills like. Yea, you family and relatives may be making you feel pretty well right now but just as God told Abraham, you need to leave your comfort zone before you can truly make exploits.

Thirdly, if you want to be successful and get what you are actually craving for, what you dont need is to be afraid to fail. Thomas Edison once said that;

I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that wont work.

Once you are success driven, then failing should be the least of your problems. It is not even supposed to derail or delay your progress because where your sight and aim is , is so far beyond your failures. In case you don't know, the only ways to genuine success is just simply as a result of proper preparation as well as hardword, determination and learning from your past mistakes. If I put my hand in fire today and it burns me, you dont still exoect me to do that again tommorow right?. That's just the drill. What simply happened there?, I simply learned. What you need to know is that it doesnt matter how much impossible it is they say about your plans and visions, what matters most is that whatever God has said will sure come to pass. Finally, note here that being successful simply means jumping from ine hurdle to another with no show of lack of enthusiasm.

Fourthly, another important thing to consider is what most people don't usually give or pay attention to. It is called Procastination. It is the hubby of some people to procastinate. They just see it as food. Do you known what procastination tells you?, it tells you straight to your face that you are not worthy of what you have put your mind to achieve. People call it the thief of time. Time is something we dont have to waste. I have met successful entrepreneurs who told me that "24 hours is not enough for them in day".

Therefore, if you want to be successful, you must do away with anything that steals your time. procastination is one of them. No! I will do it tommorow. Ok, i will do it later. Keep your mouth shut and do it now. There is no better time than now. Keet at it and you will see things turn around.

Lastly, if you truly crave success, you must take care of your health. I see some people work their ass out 24 hours of the day, 7 days of the week, 30/31 days of the month without taking care of their health or considering to take rest. Nobody dreams to be successful and not enjoy it, But if you are one of those that are success driven and do not take out time to watch your health, this may just be your plan in the long run. So, what should we do?. Simple.

• Go for regular checkups:- A lot of people only go for check ups when they breakdown from stress. It is wrong. You can just go to check your cholesterol level, your sugar level and heartbeat, your hygiene level and check your weight. Knowing all these at your finger tips can be make you avoid some unnecessary breakdown. This is because you will be able to watch your weight and watch what you eat and make you stay fit.

• Take enough Juice and fruits and drink good milk. This will build your health level and make it difficult for you to fall sick easily.

• Do regular exercises to keep yourself fit like jugging every morning and all other sorts of exercises. You can take out time to be with your family. There is nothing as refreshing as it.
