Success knows no boundaries. Success is a team work. You can’t do it alone. You need other people to help you grow. But if you really want to be successful, you have got to master yourself. You have got to master your inner life. And you have got to be true to yourself. And these six keys can help you if you follow them.

Do not be scared to make your own decisions for your life.

‘You have to start by making decisions for your life, not your parent’s lives, not your friend’s lives, not your partner’s life, not your peers’ lives.”- Brianna Wiest

If you are not in charge of your own decisions, what makes you think you are going to be successful?

Be comfortable with discomfort.

‘Discomfort, much like anger, grief, and jealousy, is a healthy human emotion that communicates something to us. It’s not the feeling itself that’s unhealthy, but that we do not know what to do with it when it arises.”- brianna Wiest

Nothing great is comfortable. So if you want to achieve great things in your life, you have got to be comfortable with discomfort.

Be consistent.

‘You can’t keep changing your plans, your strategy, or your goals, and expect to get anywhere significant.”- Brianna Wiest

If you want to be successful in your life, you have got to be consistent. Stay with what you are doing. But if it is not working, then check what is going on. Maybe you are missing something.

Do not waste your energy on things that don’t matter to you.

‘Don’t waste your most potent energy on things that drain you.”- Brianna Wiest

Stay away from things that are not getting you closer to your dreams. Stay away from people who are not for your dreams. If you are around them, you will never achieve your dreams. Why? Because they are dream killers.

Trust yourself

‘To trust yourself means that you will dare to step forward, despite all odds, no matter what’s up against you, no matter what forces may be at work. To trust yourself means that you are no longer content to lodge your soul in the circumstances that have longed stopped serving you. To trust yourself means that you will no longer accept fear reprogramming you, reorienting your values and changing your perspective to one that is simply holding you back.”- Brianna Wiest

Life will throw horrible things at you, but do not give up. Trust yourself. And believe that you can face them.

Be kind to yourself.

‘Being kind to yourself is often doing the thing you least want to do.”- Brianna Wiest

We get better when we do the thing we don’t want to do. We get ahead in life when we do what others don’t want to do, when we go to places that others don’t want to go, when we read books that others don’t want to read, and when we get out of our comfort zones.

Why You Must Stay In Your Lane

Are you in your lane? If you are not, it is never too late to start again.

What does it mean to stay in your own lane?

When you are in your own lane, you accept who you are. When you are in your own lane, you are you. You follow your heart. You don’t compare yourself to anyone. You don’t care about what other people are doing. The only thing that matters to you is your growth.

‘When you are in your lane, there is no traffic.’- Ava DuVernay

When you are in your own lane, you are not scared to do what you most need to do. When you are in your own lane, you are not scared of mistakes, of failures. You are comfortable with whatever you get. You are comfortable with yourself.

When you are in your own lane, you are being true to yourself. You don’t lie to yourself. And when you are in your own lane, you don’t settle for less. You know what you can do. You know what you cannot do. Above all, when you are in your lane, when you are doing your own thing, when you are living your life, ‘there is no traffic.’

‘When you are in your lane, you are in charge of your life.’

So if you want to be successful in your life, do not be scared to follow your path. Do not be scared to start something, to be the first to do something. And do not be scared to represent yourself. Because if you don’t, other people will represent you. When they do, they are in charge of your life, not you. Do you want that to happen to you?
