Steps for Success in Life
How do we define success? There are many different tactics for how to be successful in life, but
the strategy that works best for you may depend on your view of success itself. We often think of
it as doing well at work or earning a high salary.
While professional accomplishments can be one piece of the puzzle, it leaves out many other
important areas of life. Family, romantic relationships, academics, and athletics are just a few
areas where people may strive for success. Your individual definition of what success is may
vary, but many might define it as being fulfilled, happy, safe, healthy, and loved.

What can you do to build a growth mindset?
 Believe that your efforts matter. Rather than thinking their abilities are fixed or stuck,
people who have a growth mindset believe that effort and hard work can lead to
meaningful growth.
 Learn new skills. When faced with a challenge, they look for ways to develop the
knowledge and skills that they need to overcome and triumph.
 View failures as learning experiences. People with growth mindsets don't believe that
failure is a reflection of their abilities. Instead, they view it as a valuable source of
experience from which they can learn and improve. "That didn't work," they might think,
"so this time I'll try something a little different."
improve your emotional intelligence:
 Pay attention to your own emotions. Focus on identifying what you are feeling and
what is causing those feelings.
 Manage your emotions. Step back and try to view things with an impartial eye. Avoid
bottling up or repressing your feelings, but look for healthy and appropriate ways of
dealing with what you are feeling.
 Listen to others. This not only involves hearing what they are saying, but also paying
attention to nonverbal signals and body language.
Strengthen Your Willpower
In a long-running longitudinal study, psychologists followed a group of children who were identified by
their teachers as highly intelligent. As they compared how these subjects fared throughout childhood and
into adulthood, researchers found that those who ultimately were the most successfulin life shared some
key characteristics,including perseverance and willpower.
Strategies you can use to improve your willpower include:
 Distraction. For example, if you are trying to lose weight but are having a difficult time
staying away from your favorite snacks, distracting yourself during your moments of
weakness can be an effective way to avoid giving in to temptation.
 Practice. Willpower is something you can build, but it takes time and effort. Start by
making small goals that require will power to achieve, such as avoiding sugary snacks.
As you build your ability to use your will power to achieve such small goals, you may
find that your willpower is also stronger when working on much larger goals.

Focus on Intrinsic Motivations
What isit that motivatesyouthe most?Do youfindthatthe promise of external rewardskeepsyou
reachingforyour goals,or isit the more personal, intrinsicmotivators thatkeepyoufeelinginspired?
While extrinsicrewards suchasmoney,awards,andpraise can be helpful,manypeople findthatthey
are mostmotivatedwhentheyare doingthingsforpersonal satisfaction.
What can you do to boost your sense of intrinsic motivation?
 Challenge yourself. Pursuing a goal that is achievable, but not necessarily easy, is a
great way to increase motivation to succeed. Challenges can keep you interested in a task,
improve your self-esteem, and offer feedback on areas you can improve on. Choosing a
task that is slightly challenging will help motivate you to get started—it feels exciting!
 Stay curious. Look for things that grab your attention and that you would like to learn
more about.
 Take control. It can be difficult to stay intrinsically motivated to pursue a goal if you
don't feel that you have any real influence over the outcome. Look for ways that you can
take an active role.
 Don't fear competition. There might be other people out there trying to reach the same
goals as you, but this doesn't mean that you should give up. Don't compare your progress
or journey to anyone else's. You can look to others for motivation and inspiration, but
remember that we all have different paths.

Conscientiousness
Conscientious people consider the effects of their actions. They also consider how other people
will react and feel. You can nurture this trait by:
 Thinking about the consequences of actions
 Considering other people's perspectives
Accepting of Ambiguity
Life is full of situations that are not always clear. People with a great deal of potential for success
are better able to accept this ambiguity. Rather than being rigid and inflexible, they are ready to
adapt when the unexpected comes their way. You can learn to embrace ambiguity by:
 Challenging your perspectives and considering opinions and ideas other than your own
 Not fearing the unfamiliar
 Being willing to change
 Valuing diversity
Courageous
The world's most successful people often exemplify great courage. They are willing to take risks,
even in the face of potential failure. Research suggests that courageous people utilize positive
emotions to overcome fear.9
You can improve your tolerance of risk by:
 Quelling negative emotions and focusing on more positive feelings
 Balancing risk with common sense; being cautious and pragmatic can also pay off, depending
upon the situation
