Have you ever wondered why you have not been able to see your dreams turned into reality? What are the things that are holding you back on the way to progress? Who is stealing your success? Are they external circumstances? No. You will be surprised to know that four things named Attitude, Motivation, Habits and Time over which only you have total control are in fact stealing away your glory regularly and you are not even aware of it.

If you ponder over these four, and undertake a sincere self-evaluation, you will find that in everything, you always have a choice. What happens is an outcome of that choice you make. You have a personal responsibility in everything for yourself. If there is some area of dissatisfaction in your life, it’s time to scrutinize yourself.

1. Attitude: Achieving great success goes hand in hand with having thoughts and words conducive to success. Do you face the new day happily? Do you see umpteen opportunities that every day brings? Stopping and checking your attitudes is very important for personal growth. This requires daily maintenance without which you will not be able to grab the opportunities that come your way. When you look around, you will find people going through their routines like zombies, repeating the same things day in and day out. Indifference is always supersedes bad attitude in negativity. As you become older, feeding your mind, purging your wrong beliefs and daily maintaining your positive attitude become of prime importance. You cannot blame your unawareness of your wrong thoughts to be a cause of failure in your life. When you reach out for self-help tools and resources, you are taking the all-important accountability for bettering your life. If you don’t, you alone are to be blamed for allowing this theft of success.

2. Motivation: Motivation is having a strong will. Unless you develop a strong will, you will not do anything. You will play around with intentions of doing something but unless you actually start doing it using will power, it remains only wishful thinking. You are only fooling yourself if you lack the determination to achieve your dream. Granted, finding motivation is not easy. Everybody has difficulty with motivation. It is in fact the first challenge faced by a person keen on personal development. There is always a small voice in your mind telling you to postpone motivation. So the key to prevent theft number two of personal growth is exercising your will to act now and keep the motivation strong.

3. Habits: To achieve anything worthwhile, you have to move out of your comfort zone. It is habits, good and bad, that keep you chained to the comfort zone, giving a false sense of security to stop you from progressing. Ponder on your bad habits and their contribution to your problems. Is overcoming them a solution? Poor habits latch on to you unawares and keep on robbing your dreams. So you must develop consciously only good habits in keeping with your goals. Your behavior should support the results you expect. Habits are those actions which you perform over and over without thought. To prevent them from stealing your success, you must keep pruning bad or unproductive habits.

4. Time: This self-expressive elusive factor crops up in everybody’s life all the time. You forget that it is time that holds the meaning to your life. Just think, how would you like your journey of life described vis-
