I want you to reframe “failing” and start looking at it as a stepping stone, to getting whatever you want in life. The dream car, the big mansion, the 6-pack … whatever it is.

Once you start looking at defeat as a necessary evil to becoming successful, it’ll give you the permission to make more progress than you ever have before.

It’s hard to remember but sometimes when you’re down and defeated, it’s only temporary. Everything comes and goes, nothing is permanent, especially defeat.

Here are three strategies I’ve used to overcome fear and defeat to keep breaking through plateaus in life..

How to Overcome Defeat

1. Silence Your Inner Critic | Overcome Defeat

Don’t you hate those negative voices that seem to kill your ambition and drive to succeed? The ones that seem to kick you when you’re down?

If you think you’re the only person that has them, don’t, everyone does. Even millionaires and billionaire CEO’s. Negative voices are part of the hard wiring of our brain, its the ancient technology of your mind trying to protect you.

These voices are worrying doubts that will not help you succeed. If you don’t learn how to monitor and control the voices and negative thoughts, you’ll never succeed.

Counteract the negativity by surrounding yourself with positivity. Listen to motivational speeches, read affirmations to yourself, be proud of your wins, and listen when they get loud.

Use techniques like meditation to become more self-aware and realize that you don’t have to attach yourself to each though. Simply learn to let it go by and focus on winning.

2. Find A Support System | Overcome Defeat

I’ve failed at so many things in so many areas of life I can’t even count them all if I tried. But what I used to do is a struggle in silence. I was so scared to share my failures with others because I thought they’d think I was a failure.

Confidence is a funny thing, it’s something you want to protect. But hiding your failures from others is a mistake.

Instead, you need to find others who have “failed” so you can learn from them. Plus, your stories of struggle, defeat and eventual success might be the inspiration for others to keep going as well.

Find a support system so you can bounce ideas off of like-minded people and get the encouragement you need to keep going.

 3. Remember Why You Started  | Overcome Defeat

Each time you feel defeated, it’s on you to go deep within yourself and find the passion to keep going. You have to focus on why you started whatever it is in the first place. Why did you start this, was it:

• To give your family a better life?
• To help inspire the world?
• Or to finally live up to the endless potential that lives within all of us?

There is a reason behind everything you’re doing and you will discover it at the right time. While it might hurt when you’re down, remember to keep going. There is a reason the saying is “If you’re going through hell, keep going.”

Every obstacle is a reminder to go back and reignite that spark when you first began your journey. Keep your why the top of mind so you can stay focused and keep pushing forward!

Remember as Thomas Edison said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is to try just one more time.” Keep going, keep believing and make 2019 the year you get everything you ever wanted.

Tony Robbins – The Mindset of High Achievers

Interview thanks to Tom Bilyeu.

Transcript of the Tony Robbins Interview you must listen to today:

In people’s lives… there’s only maybe half dozen, 7-8 categories that really matter. Most people, they major in minor things. They focus on stuff that doesn’t matter. They know more about this celebrity going in and out of rehab than they do about their own personal development. But I look at it and say if you look at your body, where you are starting without that everything else is out the door.

You don’t wanna be the richest man in the graveyard. That’s not going to do it. If there is energy, if there is vitality, if there is strength it’s gonna show up in your relationship, it’s gonna show up in your business, it’s gonna show up in your life. That’s something you got to master. You can’t dabble. It’s too important. Emotions are everything.

I mean you got a ton of money, everybody loves you and your primary emotions are pissed off and frustrated, then your life is pissed off and frustrated. Doesn’t matter if you got a billion dollars, or a million people loving you, your life is not great.

Relationships. Intimate relationships especially. It’s where the most juice in life comes from, It’s where the most pain comes for most people, It’s worth mastering instead of dabbling. Really looking at what you’re gonna do with your time.

And mastering your time, instead of… having a checklist and crossing all off you can mistake movement for achievement. I want to squeeze that time what matters, that creates value for me and for everyone I care about and love.

What about your career or your business and the mastery of that, instead of dabbling… most businesses are dabblers. That’s why they don’t make it. 96% you know… in a 10 year period of time, 4% make it. That doesn’t even mean they’re profitable. And that does not mean they’re enjoying themselves. Or they’re getting anybody else to do good.

Really mastering money so that it’s not a question in your life.

You can do and be and give and share as much as you want and you’re not stressed about it.

I don’t tell people what to believe spiritually but I believe that ultimately, whatever you believe you gotta live it and it should lead to growing and giving.

If you’re growing, you feel alive, if you’re giving, you feel 10 times more alive..

If someone can celebrate and give in that spiritual state… So you need those years I look at mastery business for sure, but it’s the areas of life that matter most, and most of where we spend our time doesn’t make people feel fulfilled that’s why the average person is not fit and healthy, the average person is not in a relationship where they have tremendous passion…

I’m not a dummy, I’m not a positive thinker, I know the truth.

The average person is not successful in business. The average person is not earning what they want to earn.

But you know what, very few people have those things, but a few do. A few are happy, fulfilled, spiritually alive, financially strong, their business is growing, they have passionate love affairs and I’m obsessed with finding the few who do and finding out what they do different and teaching it to everybody. Learning it for myself and teaching everybody else.

Everyone’s going to measure themselves differently, because everyone values things differently. Some people value success or significance, some people value love more, some people value just basic levels of certainty, so when I look at the specific metrics I really look at metrics of what are the things that need to be measured to know if your life is gonna work or not so I look at it as… our whole lives are guided moment to moment by the state we’re in.

Learning how to change your state, not bullshit, not fake, but to go from pissed off, frustrated, freaked out to back in your center, or creative, or determined, or something that’s gonna move you forward that’s going to create a better quality of life for you and others. That’s a critical skillset.

So moment to moment our life is controlled by our states. If you’re in an angry state you’re going to respond differently than if you’re feeling playful. What controls those states longterm is your model of the world. Your world view. And I look at that as having as a metric, 3 things that I look at:

I look to see first what are the targets you’re after. The target is… everyone has different goals and dreams and desires… but as I travelled around the world in 100 countries I stared going… Holy shit! I’m seeing the same problems. Whats underneath it… I began to see that there are these same six human needs that we all have The same needs.

We all have the need for certainty, that we can avoid pain and we can have some pleasure, some comfort, we all need uncertainty. We need variety, or we feel dead inside. If you’re totally certain, you’re bored. If you have total variety you freak out. And it’s not a balance. It’s learning which of these you need more as a person? Everyone has a different set of values in that area.

The need for significance, to feel unique, special, important… the need to feel love, the need to grow, and the need to contribute.

Some people value certainty at the top of their list. That’s the center of their target. I don’t want to do anything unless I know it’s going to work. I don’t want to do anything unless it’s the same, if you change anything they freak out. If certainty is the n0.1 thing on your list everyone has the same needs, but if it’s no.1 I know how your life is going to be.

I can predict the direction of your life and therefore the destination to some extent.

If you’re driven by love first, you want certainty too, but love is higher, you’re gonna behave very differently than if you’re driven by significance – I have to be the one.

So I looked to see which of those needs are the top 2 on your list because they control your life. The 2 that most people have 90% of the planet
of all these needs, which one do you really focus on most day to day?

Everybody wants love. What do you focus on? Most people focus on being significant – we live in a Facebook world, where people fake their life, put new filters, make it look different than it really is, tell stories that are totally full of it to make themselves look good… because we life in this kind of false world where significance is more important than love.

And it separates us.

And the other one that we see most often is certainty. People want to be certain before they can do something.

You couldn’t have started a business like you have if you were absolutely certain before you started, you could never build a business with that. You could never build a great relationship because if it’s based on certainty then everybody gotta stay the same and never change, which means you’re never going to grow, which means you’re going to be miserable.

So my metrics are, I want to find out what’s driving you. And I want to see, is it healthy or unhealthy… you can have two people be driven by significance though, and do it with a different set of rules. That’s the second piece I measure.

The beliefs and rules and how to fulfill that target.

So Osama Bin Laden, certainly driven, love driven, contribution driven, significance driven, not hard to figure out on a 0 to 10 he was a 10 for significance. He was like the 22nd child, most people don’t know that. Totally insignificant, not skilled, took his dad’s money, went over to Afghanistan, and suddenly because he had money he became significant. And he started… he wasn’t even part of that movement at that stage. It shaped him. So what does he do? He’s going to figure out his model of the world is I’m significant if I destroy you. Right?

On that same day of 9/11 there were men and women on the fire and police department that were also all driven by significance and contribution and they went into that building knowing they’re likely going to die to save a stranger. Both people driven to have a significant life, one is by taking life, one is by giving their own life.

So once you understand the metrics, using your language, of whats driving you and then the rules or beliefs of what does it take for you to feel loved, is different for everybody. What does it take for you to feel certain?

Some people need 1 million dollars some people just need to trust God. I wanna be more clear about something:

An extraordinary life is life on your terms.

And there’s two parts: Part one to have an extraordinary life is mastering the skill of the science of achievement. How do I take what I envision and make it real? And how will I do that quicker, faster, better, easier.

The ability to manifest what you come up with and make it real like you’ve done with your company, that’s a skillset.

I’ve spent an unbelievable amount of time helping people do it faster, quicker, better, showing them the shortcuts, teaching the strategies, modelling what works, you can save yourself a decade.

But, I would submit to you that having done this for 38 years with you know, 
50 million people at this stage I can tell you that the science of achievement… There are a lot of people that are damn good and they still don’t have an extraordinary life.

They have an extraordinary life, YOU see it as extraordinary, but I get the phone call from the multi-billionaire who tells me wants to do this thing on his business but what you really find out is he’s as miserable as hell and he’s hoping somehow, I’m going to rub off on him on that side too, and so I give him what he asked for:

The change in his business, but I also give him what he needs:

Which is the change INSIDE OF HIM.

So the second skill is the ART OF FULFILLMENT.

If you want an extraordinary life you can’t just achieve you gotta be fulfilled. As simplistic as that sounds but is an art, it’s not a science.

It’s a science to making money, come on. Any age, any colour, any background, any gender, If you do these things you’ll have an abundance of money. You do these things you’re gonna have too much money, the end of the money… Financial stress, right?

Everyone’s biochemically different but you and I both know. There’s fundamental rules, laws, there’s a science of the body. You violate that science, you’re gonna have disease, you’re gonna have low energy. If you align with that, you’re gonna have an abundance of energy. It’s gonna effect everything in your life. It’s a science.

Fulfillment’s not like that. Fulfillment is as different as we are human beings. You wanna know God or the Universe likes, look at the jungle, look at at the forest. It’s diverse, right? So most people think “Well I want to get that.” Because they’re modelling somebody else and that might work on how to achieve something it will never work for what will fulfill you how many people you know like you got what you thought you wanted and you weren’t fulfilled and that… I always tell people:

SUCCESS WITHOUT FULFILLMENT IS THE ULTIMATE FAILURE

The ultimate failure!

Because if you go at something and you fail and you’re an achiever. You don’t fail, you’re like “I learned something, I’ll just try something else. I’m going to still get there.” But when you succeed and you’re not happy… you’re technically screwed.

So, a perfect example, I mentioned in the seminar you were there, because it hit me about a year and a month ago we lost what I consider a national treasure – Robin Williams.

I asked people, “How many of you love Robin Williams?” Everyone raised their hand, all around the world.

He made people laugh, people were touched by him. So how good was he at the science of achievement? I mean, he wanted to be a great comedian and make the whole world laugh – he did, he wanted to have his own tv show – he did, he wanted a number one show – he did, he wanted to make movies – he did, he wanted to have an academy award for not being funny, dramatic and he did, he wanted a beautiful family.

He achieved everything, and he hung himself.

And I know recently someone’s saying, you know, he had dementia, he had drug abuse, he had alcohol abuse through most of his life because he made everybody happy but whom? Himself.

That’s the ultimate failure.

So if I have no other message to offer your viewers then let me give it to them right now and I’ll tell you what I believe.

I believe our life’s are controlled by one force: Decisions.

I certainly believe in a force greater than myself call it God if you will, Grace, whatever you want to call it, the Universe.

But I also believe, it gives us choices and the decisions we make, control us much more than the conditions we meet. It’s not the conditions, it’s your decisions. Decisions what to believe, decision what to do, decisions what to GIVE. I said to people think about you know, look back 10 years ago, 5 years ago, 15 years ago and think of a decision you made, that if you would have made a different decision you would have a totally different life today, better or worse I don’t know but totally different.

The most important decision you could make above any on the face of the Earth is deciding that no matter what happens in your life. No matter what happens you’re going to live in a beautiful state.

The decision to say I am not going to suffer, that if suffering arises – pain is one thing suffering is another.

Suffering is when you’re like… I’ll give you an example:

A friend of mine is a very famous Indian industrialist, very famous, billionaire guy and he just recently took a sport in India that’s been around for 2000 years that almost every village child plays and he turned it into a professional sport.

No one had ever made it a professional sport. 2 years ago. He invested… I don’t know… I’m making the number up. 20 million dollars. In 2 years the sport is so successful in India, that 500 million people watch the finals, 2 months ago. 500 million people, right? That’s half a billion… and people are saying this is going to be as big as.. for them cricket is the ultimate thing, right? Big as cricket.

So, his team valuation, I’m making the number up I think its gone up to like half a billion dollars in 2 years from $25 million and his team is number two in the whole world. He’s got these great players. So I’m with him and he gets a phone call and he was just telling me about the great success how proud he is, people are so thrilled, that it’s just become this movement in India that he created, he’s so proud of it… and the phone-call is from his management team telling him that one of his  competitors has just offered 4 times as much money as he was offering to his top 3 athletes, who were the core of his whole team.

And of course they all took it. He was so angry, he was like: I can’t even believe this. These guys were working in shops, I brought them here I made them stars on national TV, and they have no loyalty… And he’s suffering, and the way you suffer is you focus on yourself.

Suffering comes when we obsess about ourselves, what we’re getting or not getting, what we should have done, what others should have done for us, it’s the me me me me me game.

You, my dear friend, and I say this with no blowing smoke, your primary quality is a giver which is why you’re prospering, you’re not the me me me, you’re like how do I give more, do more, share more, care more, how do we do a better job for our clients, how do we do a better job for our internal customers who work with us, our partners…

Your entire life is like this.

That’s why you’re prospering and you’re not feeling suffering. But when you do suffer and I promise you do, correct me if I’m wrong, it will be because you worry about something in the future…

How is this going to happen? Will this come together? Suffering could be worry, could be anger, could be frustration, it’s anything that takes you out of the beautiful state and here’s what don’t people get:

YOU CAN END SUFFERING.

Stop focusing on yourself and focus on something you want to serve greater than yourself.

Your children, your wife, your mission, your life. You can get out of it in an instant, because the nature of the human mind is to constantly compare things.

Your brain is a 2 million year old device, it’s not designed to make you happy. It’s designed to make you survive and that’s why it’s always looking for what’s wrong. It could be what’s wrong with a sabre tooth tiger so I can protect myself. NOW people are worried about what people think of them,
 or do they have enough money,
 when two thirds of the planet lives off $2 a day
 and you’re making $38,000.. you’re rich!

The poorest of the poor in our country are considered rich. I’m not saying that it should stay that way, but you can only build on success. So my goal is to have you consider something..

Life is short.

We don’t know how short it’s going to be, but if you only have a week to live. I bet you wouldn’t allow yourself to suffer over little crap that makes you crazy normally. I think you would probably spend time with those you love. You would do what you love. 
You would take in the sunset. You’d smell the air. You’d take in everything in these final moments
 that you possibly could.

So my thing is WHY WAIT?

Why wait?

Why not just decide that if I start to suffer. I know the solution because suffering is me obsessing about me.

You might say “It’s not me I’m worried about my kids, because they’re not doing well. No, you’re worried that you hadn’t done enough for your kids. It’s about you still you know, you’re worried about what was done or what you should have done or shouldn’t have done.

You end that in an instant by becoming aware of it and saying I’ve made the most important decision of all I am going to live in a beautiful state.

Here’s what’s going to happen: Anybody watching, you may lose a family member. You probably will, somebody may get cancer. Your business may… the government might change the rules, they might change things radically and you can’t even do anything about it. You might go bankrupt, you might get divorced. 
I’m not saying anybody will, but no one knows what’s going to really happen in your life.

Life’s full of uncertainty, but here’s what you can know, you can decide no matter what happens, you’re going to have a great time.

If somebody like Viktor Frankl, can be locked up in Auschwitz and come out of that and experience finding joy in the middle of Auschwitz, then human beings have a capacity they’ve undersold themselves on.

We think the outside world determines how we feel If people have to behave a certain way, if your husband, your wife, your kids or your co-workers or whoever, your boss has to behave a certain way for you to be happy and if they don’t, you’re unhappy.

Then you’re always going to be unhappy because the more people are around you, the more they’re going to change because they’re human. If you have to be a certain way to be happy. You’re gonna violate it too so …

My invitation is as great as it is to achieve, more important to enjoy. If you can enjoy every moment in that state, when you’re feeling loving and playful and passionate and curious, in awe. You treat other people a hundred times better than when you’re feeling frustrated, pissed off, overwhelmed, worried, stressed or feeling sorry for yourself, you’re going to be a better parent, you’re going to be a better lover, you’re going to be a better business person, you’re going to be better at life.

So my soliloquy is DECIDE.

Decide today and actually say, “What if I cut it off, what if I said. I’m not willing to settle and I’m just going to live in a beautiful state.”

Doesn’t mean you won’t feel bad, doesn’t mean you won’t stay there, you will instantly change, that’s doable.

I’m on a mission to help people end suffering. But what the hell is success it’s hitting an expectation. I always tell people “Man, trade your expectations for appreciation.” It’s a whole new world instantly. If you can’t appreciate this moment, if you can’t find ecstasy in this moment, in a conversation with a friend, or looking in your wife’s eyes, being with your children, going on a run. If you can’t find ecstasy now..

I’m here to tell you: more money, more people, more love, more business, more anything is not gonna give you more… If you can’t do it here and now, you’re not going to do it then when you’ve got more.

So why not do it now? And have a rich life right now. I tell people money is one thing, having financial abundance they are skills, that’s a science. With wealth it’s a decision, it’s like you can be wealthy right now.

I live in Fiji a good portion of the time 
there’s these villagers there, they’re the richest people in the world they’re happy, they laugh, they love, they don’t give a damn about economics, other people say they’re poor.

When I first went there I was trying to do things for them they were like what are you talking about?
 They’re so happy.

Wealthy people come from the US and they travel around and try to figure out what to do and they’re going to spend 9 years to do this and this and this and then they can finally sit down and be happy, and the Fijian guy goes.. “Why don’t I sit on the beach right now and experience it, why spend the 9 years?

Why not have it now?

That’s my invitation.

No one is motivated 24/7/365. But people that succeed at the highest level find ways to stay motivated even when they’d rather sleep in and watch TV.

Add these mindset shifts to your arsenal so you can smash through any difficulty and rise to any challenge.

1. Remember Why You Started | Mindset Shifts

Why are you doing what you’re doing? Is it to create a life for yourself, your family or enjoy life and travel the world? 

It’s vital to know why you’re doing what you’re doing, when things seem impossible and you have zero motivation, a strong purpose will drag anyone to their feet, ready for action. Without strong reasons, quitting is so easy. But quitting will never get you to the end goal.

Life is not always easy, especially if you’re chasing a huge dream or goal. There are bound to be struggles, ups, down, and setbacks. But that’s all part of the process.

Find time to step back and remind yourself of why you’re doing what you’re doing. Don’t focus on the little details, focus on the big picture. Talk about your goals and dreams with people you trust and who can help you remember why you’re on this epic journey.

2. Focus On What You Want | Mindset Shifts

As Maya Angelou said, “Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it.” If you ask most people what they want in life they’ll probably have a hard time explaining it all.

But people that mission driven and ready to achieve something bigger always know what they want. You have to know exactly what you want, in as much detail as possible, to give yourself the best chance to succeed.

Focusing on what you don’t want has a way of making those exact things show up in your life. Find ways to prime your mind into a more positive state and focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want.

The clearer your vision, the more likely you can make it happen. Clarity leads to creating a clear action plan to go from A to B. Without clarity, it’s easy to feel like you’re not going anywhere and lose motivation.

Once you have that vision you can talk about it with trusted friends or family with passion, confidence, and excitement, because you know exactly what you are going after. This will build your self belief, gaining more momentum towards your goal.

3. You Must Recharge | Mindset Shifts

Success is a marathon, not a sprint. While you’ll need to move fast and take massive action at times, but don’t get stuck in the 24/7 workflow. This will lead to burnout which will kill your motivation levels.

If you think you need to work 20 hours a day this is going to be a recipe for burnout, discouragement, and apathy. Find ways to get people to help you to your goal, hire people, automate or simply take time to recharge.

Besides, what’s the point of working tirelessly to achieve a goal only to feel terrible, exhausted, and burnt out? Knowing when to put your foot down and when to step back is critical to success.

Final Thoughts

Success doesn’t happen overnight so quit expecting it to materialize instantly. If you want to reach big goals in 2019 stay patient and trust yourself.

Staying in the game for the long haul will take perseverance, patience, and belief within yourself.

Use these tips to stay motivated and push past the tough times.

Remember, the most successful people on the planet persevered when it was most difficult.

They were clear on their goals and with self-awareness, they made it happen.

The post 3 Mindset Shifts That Will Keep You Motivated When You Feel Like Quitting appeared first on Fearless Motivation - Motivational Videos & Music.

If you’re like most people, the end of the year is a time for reflection. It’s a time to look back on your wins, losses, and what you want in the future. I recommend you do more than set resolution (as they almost always fail by February) and instead focus on long-term life changes.

Instead of saying “I want to lose 10 pounds or I want to make more money” you should try to start aligning everything in your life toward a common goal or dream. Spend some time at the end of December and figure out what you want to do in 2019.

And before setting any resolutions, ask yourself, “Who do I need to become to achieve those goals?” This tactic is different than normal goal setting but I promise will be more effective as well.

Once you figure out who you need to become, check out these quotes about the new year to get motivated and start taking action.

This Is Your Year. Become Unstoppable.

“An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.” – William E. Vaughn | New Year Quotes

Choose optimism in 2019. Yes, you can choose what type of attitude you want to have in this world.

Success with a negative, pessimistic attitude is nearly impossible. And even if you do succeed, not too many people will want to be around someone who’s narcissistic and negative.

“Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you, shall form an invincible host against difficulties.”- Helen Keller | New Year Quotes

Don’t just choose optimism, choose joy in 2019 as well. You decide to be happy every single day. Choose joy so you can enjoy your life more, even when the difficult times happen.

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson | New Year Quotes

Like I mentioned at the beginning, start by finding out who you need to become to do the things you want to do. Most people focus on the doing (working out more, working harder, etc) instead of focusing on who they need to become.

Think from the “Be-Do-Have” model. Who do you have to be, to do the things you want to do so you can have the things you want to have.

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.” – Abraham Lincoln | New Year Quotes

You are in control of your life. If you want to change any area of your life, it’s up to you to make it happen. No one else.

“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.” – Ben Franklin | New Year Quotes

Strive to become a better version of you. Don’t just try to earn more money or lose a few pounds.

Try to become a 2.0 version of you with family, friends, and everyone else in the world. Quit settling for average in any area and start striving for extraordinary.

You owe it to yourself to not settle for another year of average.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” – C.S. Lewis | New Year Quotes

No matter how old you are or what you’re going through, don’t ever quit setting goals. Goals are the first step in turning your dreams into reality.  

Hopefully, these quotes about the new year will help you get one step closer to achieving your biggest goals and dreams in 2019. Remember, figure out who you need to be and then work on becoming the person that can achieve your goals.

Your personality defines what you act like on a daily basis, how you respond to certain situations, and even how successful you will become in the future. The problem is that a lot of people don’t seem to know their personality well enough.

This can lead to difficult encounters in life. It’s very helpful to know what type of personality you favor so you can be aware of it in the future. Of the five types, most people have one or two but experience all five to some degree.

Here are the five types of people in the world.

The Five-Factor Personality Model

1. Extroversion | Five Factor Model

Extroversion personality types tend to be most alive when they are in a group setting. These people tend to thrive in social situations and love interacting with others. They are never shying away from the spotlight and tend to command attention.

I’m sure you can think of a few people that fall in this one pretty easily as they’re often the loudest.

2. Openness | Five Factor Model

The openness personality type is usually defined as those who are very creative and have a ton of different interests. They are usually people who love to travel, explore, and create throughout life.

Usually, they are not someone to enjoy a routine but instead opt for the wild side of life. They also tend to be more adventure seekers always pushing themselves to the next level.

Not just physically but spiritually, emotionally, and mentally as well. If you’re not this type of personality it’s easy to see them as someone who is a drifter and not as focused on their life.

Studies have also found that these individuals all tend to share one thing in common, their political views. They are always liberal and the only personality type to identify with politics.

3. Agreeableness | Five Factor Model

The third personality trait is agreeableness. These individuals tend to be very kind and generous to the people closet to them in life. They are very giving, usually volunteering or doing work to help better the lives of others.

To other personality types, these individuals are seen as more passive than other types. They tend to make very calculated decisions and not take massive risks.

4. Conscientiousness | Five Factor Model

People with a conscientiousness personality type tend to be high achievers who are always striving more. They don’t enjoy being mediocre and instead work hard to take life to the next level.

One of the ways they do that is they are highly organized and focus on planning everything. This helps them optimize their time and energy to achieve the most possible in the day.

In a group setting, they are the individuals that take initiative and lead the group. They aren’t sitting around they are making things happen.

People that aren’t this type of personality tend to view them as stubborn, obsessive, and sometimes hard to deal with.

5. Neuroticism | Five Factor Model

The final personality type is neuroticism. These individuals are “neurotic” and tend to be very emotional. One day they can be in a great mood and the next day very depressed. They tend to suffer huge mood swings.

These individuals tend to be reactive and very excitable but can follow it up highs with equal lows. They are constantly seeking the approval of others.

Which personality type do you have? After writing it was clear what type I am and surprised at how accurate the results are.

Some studies have shown that your personality type is formed before ten years old! If you’re not thrilled with your personality type spend time focusing on what you want to change. If it feels hard it’s because you’ve been operating from this system for a long time.

Arnold is someone who has found tremendous success in every area of life. His story shows that you can do anything in your life with dedication and hard work.

Arnold has an amazing story for how he became successful. Like others, he suffered tons of failure, defeat, and embarrassment.

But he had a vision for what he wanted out of life, the ability to never quit and an incredible work ethic.

How to Ignore Haters & Prove Them Wrong

1. Don’t Listen to The Naysayers | Prove Them Wrong

No matter what you want to do in your life, there will always be people telling you that it can’t be done. But as Arnold says, “I hope no one ever has done it before — because then when I do it, I’ll be the first that’s ever done it!”

He was never supposed to be a 7x Mr. Olympia champion, top actor or governor of California but Arnold refused to listen to critics. He understood that haters are a part of the process of becoming successful. 

He always held the attitude, “Yes you can” and was never afraid of being different. 

2. Become Relentless for Success | Prove Them Wrong

Arnold was repeatedly told by studios he’d never make it in Hollywood. His accent was too heavy, his name was too long and he looked like a monster.

Most people would accept it and settle for average roles if they didn’t quit show business entirely. Instead, he simply didn’t accept that and became relentless to succeed. Arnold took acting classes, voice lessons, accent removal lessons, and worked tirelessly to become an A-list star.

And eventually, he did. Funny enough, when he made it big in Hollywood his accent ended up making him the success that he is today! The point is to not take no for answer.

As John Paul DeJoria said, “When I heard maybe I think yes. And when I heard no I thought maybe.” To become relentless, shift your mindset to not accept rejection.

3. Don’t Be Afraid to Get Help Along The Way | Prove Them Wrong

Trying to do everything yourself is recipe for a disaster. Instead, pick up the approach Tony Robbins talks about known as “modeling.” Figure out what successful people are doing in the field you want and learn from them. 

Remember, success leaves clues. Learn from as many people as you can to accelerate your success. Whether it’s joining a mastermind, hiring a coach or finding a mentor. Don’t feel bad asking for help.

Often times, the most successful people on the planet will want to help you as they can see their story in your life.

4. Always Help Others | Prove Them Wrong

Giving back and helping others is a foundation of successful people. Whether it is Tony Robbins, Bill Gates, Lewis Howes or Arnold, they are always giving back.

By giving back you not only help others but feel incredible afterward. As Arnold said, “Helping people will give you more satisfaction than anything else in life.”

Start Proving Them Wrong | Prove Them Wrong

As Les Brown said, “The best revenge is massive success.” Don’t spend time caring about what other people think of you and your dreams.

If someone tells you something can’t be done, it’s simply a reflection of them saying they can’t do it. Remember that anytime you’re trying to achieve something great, you’re bound to have haters and critics.

Use these four tactics from Arnold to learn how to ignore haters and stay focused on achieving your biggest goals.

If you need help structuring your life and getting clear on what you want to achieve, read this book now.

Use these Darren Hardy quotes to learn the habits that will compound your own success.

“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

If you are one of the few people in the world that are committed to reaching your full potential congrats! Most people settle for mediocrity in life.

But if you have the courage and determination you can become anything your imagination can visualize. Define what success means to you and take action toward living that life every single day.

“When it comes to breaking old habits and starting new ones, remember to be patient with yourself. You’ve got to expect it’s going to take time and effort before you see lasting results.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Changing your bad habits is not an overnight experience. Want proof? Just look at 99% of New Year’s resolutions.

Changing a lifelong habit takes more than a few days of willpower.

To change your bad habits don’t try to drop them instead, replace them. Then, stick with that habit for at least 30-60 days. The longer (and worse) your habit, the longer it will take to replace.

“Unsuccessful people carry their goals around in their head like marbles rattling around in a can, and we say a goal that is not in writing is merely a fantasy.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Writing your goals down is the first step in turning your dreams into a reality. If you keep them in your head you’re bound to forget or not work on them consistently.

Write down all your goals. Whether it’s short-term, 90-day goals or listing out every life goal in a notebook. Even writing it down once will have a powerful effect on your subconscious mind to help you achieve your biggest dreams.

“Once-dominant empires have failed for this very reason. People get to a certain level of success and get too comfortable.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Your comfort zone is a dangerous place. When you get comfortable you can take things for granted and stop doing what got you there in the first place.

Challenge your mind and body on a regular basis to keep learning, striving, and achieving. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

“Critics are bitter dreamers gone scared. Empathize and ignore.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Critics are usually the people that didn’t have the courage and determination to keep pursuing their dreams. Don’t’ let them get you down. Use their doubt as fuel to make accomplish your own goals and dreams.

“Your past doesn’t define you, it prepares you.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Your past is gone. There is no need to continue dwelling on your past mistakes. Everything that has happened has gotten you to where you are today.

Learn from your past to prepare yourself for creating an epic future.

“Your biggest challenge isn’t that you’ve intentionally been making bad choices. Your biggest challenge is that you’ve been sleepwalking through your choices.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

If something is bothering you then change it. Whether it’s a job you hate, a relationship that isn’t growing or a habit that is dragging you down.

Remember, you are the creator of your future.

Use these Darren Hardy quotes to start changing your negative and self-sabotaging habits. Once you change your habits, you can change your life forever.

Success is not easy and it is certainly not guaranteed, IF you want to be successful you NEED to give up these 5 things.. how many of these do you do? See if you qualify for success and get started today!

1. GIVE UP the fear of failure.. You want to be successful?

Fear is the barrier, and fearing failure just adds a huge, unnecessary wall that blocks you from your happiness, self-fulfillment, personal growth, opportunities, and worst of all, your dreams.. When you fear failure, all you’re doing is setting yourself up to fail. I used to be terrified to fail. I used to be so scared of it that I wouldn’t even begin the things I wanted to begin. The thought of working hard for something day in and day out, not having it work out, was my biggest fear.

But, instead of being afraid and have that fear hold me back I decided to look at it differently. First of all, I noticed that I was creating that fear in my own head. I was worried about something that was not even happening in the physical world, just in my mind. So, it was imaginary. Then I noticed every single time I “failed” at something, I learned from it and it guided me to something greater. It helped me grow and become the person I am today. I was not failing, I was learning. Failure was not a barrier, it was a guiding force.

Successful celebrities like Michael Jordan, Walt Disney, the Beatles, Oprah, Einstein, Steve Jobs failed dozens of times on their paths to success. But, they were not failures because they chose to get back up and keep going no matter what. And clearly it worked out for them! So, understand that failing is necessary to achieve the life you want. Don’t worry about failing, and taking a risk. Go ahead and follow your dreams! And if you’re lucky enough to fail because you were brave enough to try, learn from it, build strength from it, and carry that with you to the next level.

“I have not failed, I just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” –Thomas Edison

2. GIVE UP the idea that you do not control your destiny. You want to be successful?

You are in control of your life. Your future is in your hands, and what you do today matters. You have the canvas to create the life you want. In the past I didn’t believe that I was in control of my life. I didn’t see the strength and the power I had within myself. So, I was living a life that I wasn’t too proud of. And I was blaming external forces for my circumstances. I was blaming everyone and everything, but me.

One day, for the first time ever, I started looking within myself. I started blaming myself for the things I did not want, and that changed everything. When I realized that I was in control of my destiny and my future, I noticed how much time I had wasted believing otherwise. Everything is in your hands. The results you are getting are the results you deserve, once you deserve more you will get more. Know it, believe it, and take action towards it.

“The future depends on what you do today.” –Mahatma Ghandi

3. GIVE UP the idea that you’re not good enough. You want to be successful?

You can do anything if you truly want it. There is greatness inside of you waiting to be unleashed. Confidence in your abilities and positive self-talk are the keys to your life achievements and growth. One affirmative thought that you truly believe about yourself is all you need, to unlock your desires and become unstoppable.

So, convince yourself that you are good enough. Maybe you need to change the way you run your life to do so? but once you do believe you will be capable of achieving anything you want in life. The only thing that is holding you back  your doubts. All you need is that strength from within, to get the things you want in life. Every single day please tell yourself I can, because in time you will find out that it is true.

“You are what you believe yourself to be.” –Paulo Coelho

4) GIVE UP your excuses. You want to be successful?

Excuses are just that… excuses. Before I started my YouTube channel I would always tell myself excuses of how I couldn’t follow my dreams. I would tell myself, “I have no time, I have no resources, it’s too hard, it will just come to me if it’s meant to be, it’s too late”… the list goes on and on. And if you’re anything like I used to be, please let them go because excuses, and I promise you, will get you nowhere. So, you have to decide that you are just going to drop all excuses and no longer accept any excuse that come to mind. And that is true power.

So, when I no longer accepted those excuses, I would keep telling myself over and over, I started acting upon my desires. Excuses didn’t stop me from following my dreams, I stopped them from hindering my desires. Start with what you have, start with where you are, and start today. I promise you that you will find a way if you just keep going. If you work hard, and believe. Keep those excuses for the other 99% that are too meek to believe in themselves.

“If it is important to you, you will find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.” –Ryan Blair

5. GIVE UP the idea that it’s impossible. You want to be successful?

I am going to keep this simple. Anything that you set your mind to is possible. I don’t care what anyone says or thinks; I truly believe that. The word impossible should be stricken from the English language. Nothing is impossible through hard work, dedication, persistence, faith, and passion. People will bring you down, and people will always try to convince you that it can’t be done. But, you have to believe in yourself and your abilities.

How did the Wright brothers invent the aeroplane before it was even fathomed to be possible? It all started with a vision. They held that vision in their mind and brought it to reality through unstoppable faith, gut-wrenching hard work and non-stop persistence. And you’re telling me that your vision, and your dreams can’t be achieved? You think anyone believed that it was possible to have something fly through the air faster than any vehicle or animal on the ground, before it happened? There is true magic when you believe. The only limitation is the one that you hold in your mind. The sky is the limit. No matter how far fetched it is or how hard it seems, just know that it’s possible.

“Impossible is nothing.” –Muhammad Ali

The post Five Things You Must Give Up If You Want to Be Successful! appeared first on Fearless Motivation - Motivational Videos & Music.

Steve Pavlina is one of the most successful personal development bloggers, motivational speakers, and authors in the world.

He calls himself “the most intensely growth-oriented individual you will ever meet” – and rightly so.

Truly living by his claim – he has done various personal growth experiments including polyphasic sleep, adopting a vegan diet, exploring multidimensional relationships which nurture the mind, body, heart, and spirit. In his blog and seminars, he talks about various topics as such emotions, relationships, productivity, and abundance.

Here are 20 Steve Pavlina quotes to kickstart your new year with a new perspective of success.

1. “If you don’t take the time to get really clear about exactly what it is you’re trying to accomplish, then you’re forever doomed to spend your life achieving the goals of those who do.”

If you don’t know where you’re going, you will have an unclear vision of the future and that is what you’ll manifest in your life. Become really clear about your goals, visualize them every day, and you’ll achieve them.

2. “When you discipline yourself to do what is hard, you gain access to a realm of results that are denied everyone else. The willingness to do what is difficult is like having a key to a special private treasure room.” – Steve Pavlina

Society often rewards mediocrity. There are plenty of jobs to just keep you above water, foods that keep you fat, technology that keeps you lazy. Amidst this chaos, it’s important to cultivate discipline if you really want to achieve goals that are not average.

3. “Everyone you meet in your life – even total strangers – are already intimately connected to you. The idea that we are all separate and distinct beings is nothing but an illusion. We are all parts of a larger whole, like individual cells in a body.”

Everyone is connected. We all want love and respect. We all want to express our creative talents. The true desires in your heart will not only benefit you but also others.

4. “Hard work is painful when life is devoid of purpose. But when you live for something greater than yourself and the gratification of your own ego, then hard work becomes a labor of love.”

When you have a meaningful purpose, working towards it brings you joy and satisfaction.So always question ‘why’ you are doing the things that you do.

5. “Planning allows you to mentally create a model of your future.” – Steve Pavlina

Just as you can’t drive to a destination without a map, you can’t reach a goal without a plan. Planning helps you see the resources, paths, people, and obstacles that you’ll encounter along the way.

6. Regardless of others reactions, do your best to stay true to yourself. Make the choices that allow you to look in the mirror and feel good about the person gazing back at you.”

Society will try to mould you into what appeases their liking. But it’s in your power to live to your personal truths.

7. “In reading the biographies of very successful men and women, one theme frequently surfaces: such people have a strong bias for action. Those who achieve high levels of success in some areas of life tend to take a LOT more action than those who settle for average or below average results.”

Action is superior to thought. When you act, you gain experience, which brings more knowledge than thoughts ever will.

8. “If you aren’t working on your goals, you aren’t working. You’re just wasting time.” – Steve Pavlina

Some people know they should have goals. Few even have goals. And fewer actively work on their goals. Realize that time is the most precious thing you have and make the most of it.

9. “Fear is not your enemy. It is a compass pointing you to the areas where you need to grow.”

Use you fear to grow. Realize that not moving towards your fears will mean that you’ll be condemned to live at a low level of existence forever. To overcome your fears, take small steps of courage one at a time. When you act strong, you’ll feel strong.

10. “If someone offers you a gift, and you decline to accept it, the other person still owns that gift. The same is true of insults and verbal attacks.”

People will judge you and hate you no matter what you do. So it’s best to ignore them and surprise them with your results.

11. “One part of us wants to be healthy, happy, and highly conscious. Another part wants nothing more than to eat, sleep, have sex and be lazy. Without the presence of consciousness, we fall into reflexive patterns by default, living more like unconscious animals than fully sentient beings.” – Steve Pavlina

Realize that it’s easier to fall into unconscious living than consciously pursuing your goals. Become conscious of your daily activities and live like a conscious human being driven by meaningful purpose and goals.

12. “Journaling is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to discover new truths. By getting your thoughts out of your head and putting them down in writing, you’ll gain insights you’d otherwise miss.”

Overthinking can be troublesome. But journaling helps you vent your feelings and find pearls of wisdom amidst all the chaos and confusion.

13. “Pour the bulk of your time into action, not deciding. The state of indecision is a major time waster. Don’t spend more than 60 seconds in that state if you can avoid it. Make a firm, immediate decision, and move from uncertainty to certainty to action. Let the world tell you when you’re wrong, and you’ll soon build enough experience to make accurate, intelligent decisions.”

Don’t “ready, aim, fire”. Instead “ready, fire, aim”. Remember how you learned to ride a bicycle. Were you too busy thinking about the right posture? Or did you learn by actually stepping on and taking the risk to fall?

14. “Understand that relationships are more important than contracts. Business deals are relationships between people. The signed piece of paper is important, but it’s merely the result of the relationship, not the cause.” – Steve Pavlina

Every business runs on relationships – with customers, shareholders, employees, and so on. People will always be more important than papers.

15. “Achieving meaningful goals requires that you commit your entire ass, not just one cheek.”

When we commit ourselves to our goals, we achieve them no matter the circumstances. But when we are merely interested in our goals, we find excuses and underperform.

16. “Stop asking “What should I do now?” That question only brings up what others expect of you. Free people don’t have shoulds.” They have choices.

Don’t conform to people’s ideas of how you should live. Instead, find what lies inside your heart and chase something that excites you and that you really want.

17. “Spend time cultivating your deepest desires, no matter how impractical or impossible they seem. It’s perfectly OK to want the impossible. It’s not OK to pretend that your desires don’t matter.” – Steve Pavlina

Be brutally honest with yourself. That is the only way to actually get what you want in life.

18. “Any relationships that would reject you for being true to yourself are — by definition — abusive relationships. You’ll be much better off when you let them go.”

Don’t live to please people. Everyone has their flaws and quirks. And that is what makes people special. If someone is too disturbed by your interests, it’s their problem, not yours.

19. “I want my life to have had more value than just acquiring stuff and living comfortably. I may die rich, or I may die broke. But I won’t die with my music still in me.” – Steve Pavlina

We are not banks, we are people. Our beating hearts rejoice with the sound of music and melt with the beautiful sight of the sunset or the display of emotions in a child. So live from your heart, go where your creativity takes you, and share your talents with the world.

20. “The only thing stopping you is fear, and the only thing that will get you past it is courage. What you do with your life isn’t up to your parents, your boss, or your spouse. It’s up to you and you alone.”

People evolve only when they move towards their fears. So you must have the courage to do the things that scare you. Small steps of courage can bring you golden opportunities that you’ll be thankful for  your whole life.
