7 Things Successful People Tell Themselves

We all have that voice inside our head, make yours a positive one. Start telling yourself these phrases, daily, and watch yourself achieve success. 

1. "I will figure it out."

Embrace life's obstacles. Not everything is going to come easy, things will go wrong. Don't let the inevitable defeat you. 

2. "Everything in the world was built by people no smarter than you."

Everyone started out in the same position as you. They woke up with a dream and worked relentlessly to achieve that dream. Anything is possible with hard work and dedication.

3. "Never mistakes. Only lessons."

Don't punish yourself when things don't go as planned. The biggest lessons learned come from the biggest mistakes. Things are not meant to always go right.

4. "Work hard to know what you don't know."

Successful people do not know it all, they are in fact the opposite. They realize there is so much they don't know and they embrace that with an eagerness to learn.

5. "Forget your competition."

Follow your own path. Focus on what you want and where you are going, not where your competitors are going. You are not them, you have your own dreams and aspirations. 

6. "Take the time to get it right in the beginning."

Pay attention to detail from the very start to avoid mistakes towards the end. Whether your working on a new business venture or starting a project at work, give it 100%, right away. 

7. "Never forget why you started."

Connect your most recent success with the beginning of your journey. Look at how far you've come and let that motivate you to keep on moving.
