“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life”

Charles Darwin

1. Contemplate on thoughts and choices: Thought process has no end and we have so many thoughts throughout the day. Every time we have a thought it is not possible for us to check them and to correct them, instead, we can put our efforts to think positive and to make positive choices in life. Positive choices are the ones that help us to become better and help us keep us calm and do well to ourselves and others as well.
2. Look for sources of motivation: Each person gets inspired by different things, for some, it’s money, for someone it may be a person, memories, name or fame. It differs from person to person. So you need to find out what is it that drives you towards success and achievement. Every day make sure that you are connected with your motivational factor. The more you are connected with your M-factor, the better you will perform.
3. Do what you have to, to get what you want: The common mistake that most people make is, they do ordinary things and expect extraordinary results from life. This is a very common behavior. So if you expect great from life then you need to think great and do great. When you are doing the job of a salesperson and you dream of becoming CEO, it’s actually great. But you need to work for it and need to develop the mindset like that of a CEO and you need to increase your capabilities to that level.
4. Master Time: When you have control over the time you are spending, you have control over activities and when you have control over your activities then you have control over your life. So mastering time is a key factor that determines the life of a person. One should know where to spend time and to what extent and if someone knows this then he is sure to handle his life the better way.
5. Attitude and situations in life: Always let your attitude determine life’s situations and never allow the situation to take charge of your attitude. Hardly will there be times in someone’s life, when he or she feels happy about the situation and when everything is in his favor. So instead if we correct our attitude towards the situations we will be able to lead a peaceful life.
6. Watch out your company: There is a saying that goes like this “show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.” This is not just a saying but a golden word from someone who has studied life. Always try to keep the company of those people who are more experienced than you in work and life. People who are successful, motivational; who lead a life like leaders by helping others and adding value to their life. When you keep the company of such people you have their influence on you and you start to learn from them life’s important lessons.
7. Never give up: If we compare the lives of people who are successful in their life and are leading an exemplary life with the lives of those who are experiencing failure, there is only one single difference and that is successful people pursue their dreams till they become reality. And people who are experiencing failure in either personal or professional life are those who gave up working for their dreams. Reasons may be many but, the end result is the same those who work till their dreams become true to become successful. So you should never give up as whatever the situation may be and shouldn’t stop until you achieve your dream.
8. Vision: People who are successful are those who have dreams and visions in life. If we lead a life without any motive or purpose then life becomes meaningless. A person with vision is the one who has control over his future as he knows how he wants his future to be and goes in that direction. Vision gives motivation and it helps us become better every day to lead a life with purpose.
9. Have faith in yourself: Faith is everything in life whether it is towards God or any other person or ultimately yourself. It is a faith that leads people. There is a saying that goes like this “what others say about you is their opinion about you not your worth”. So having faith that there is a purpose in your life and you have all the capabilities to accomplish it is the core aspect.
10. As every day progresses improve:  Some great person has said that if you lead the life the same way as you did yesterday without any improvement or progress in any sphere that is no life. With every passing second and with every passing day, just think what values you’ve added to your life and to the life of those around you. Try to improvise yourself by improving your capabilities in every possible area, because life is meant to improve and to progress.
11. Take care of your physical health and psychological health: First and foremost thing to achieve anything in life, we must be healthy both ways psychological as well as physical. What most of us do is that we neglect taking care of our health when we can do so. We should start taking care of it when it is out of our hands. Psychological health and physical health are both required for a person to be complete and lead a healthy life. And if we are serious about our life then we need to take care of our health first.
12. Do what you love: As far as possible try making that your profession what you love to do because it is the love for work and the passion that brings out the best in you. You may do anything to earn money, but when you do that which you love and are passionate about then one day or the other, you are bound to taste success.
13. Never compare:  It is the difference that adds beauty to life as all are not unique and all are not blessed with same talent. So always look for what is good about you and what is your uniqueness that makes you different from others. Never try to compare your talents with those of others and be your own unique self. Only then no one can duplicate your ideas or creativity or skill. So work out in that aspect and progress.
14. Troubles and Obstacles: If there are no troubles and no obstacles in life then there will be no development or progress in life - no meaning to your life. These are part and parcel of the life and when you start accepting them with a positive stride, you will cross obstacles with smile. These will be the very things that will lead you on the path of progress and success by unleashing your real potential.
15. Show Appreciation (Gratitude): Always try to appreciate the good things in life. Try and show appreciation for those people who care for you and also appreciate those whom you care for. It is easy to criticize and to look for the negatives in others, but hardly do one can appreciate well in others. If you want to make it big in life cultivate to appreciate good things and good people, in spite of their position and status. Never ever leave a chance to appreciate people when you have a chance to do so.
