Top 10 Do's and Dont's for a successful life

person thinking while some question mark appear next to his head and some text appear

What comes to your mind when you hear the words "success," "successful people," or "successful life?" The answer lies in you. No one knows better than you. There is no one-size-fits-all definition of success on the internet or anywhere else. Let me explain why. People have diverse thoughts and ways of thinking. We all are different in terms of everything, whether it is social status, background, personal life, and anything else. We all think differently. As a result, success has varied connotations for all of us.  For some people, success is about having luxury cars and a mansion, having dinner at fancy restaurants while for some success is having a joyful happy life with their family which is true. It's you who defines what success is?  Have you heard of Jim Carrey's famous quote, where he said,

“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer”

Success is not always about the rich, famous, and wealthy, it is more than that. Success cannot be defined solely in terms of money or status. For everyone, success means something different. It is your job to understand what success entails for you and how to achieve it. Ask yourself what success means to you? Yet, some things remain the same in all scenarios. In today's post, I'll provide 10 do's and dont's that you should follow in order to be successful in life.

10 Do's

Think positive

You will not be successful in life if you always think negatively. Always keep a positive mindset. It's important to pay attention to what your mind is thinking. Always make sure you're sending yourself positive energy.

Come out of your comfort zone

Stucking in your comfort zone is not gonna help. Successful people are those who do something out of their comfort zone. Doing stuff outside of your comfort zone allows you to discover your hidden potential and motivates you forward.

Make long goals

Making long-term goals is a must-do item on your to-do list if you want to be successful. Always keep in mind what your long-term ambitions are. It helps you in mapping a path to your desired destination. You can't get in the car and drive if you don't know where you're going. To be successful, one must first determine what he or she wants to accomplish.

Learn from mistakes

Successful people do not waste time regretting their mistakes and repeating them over and over. Accept your mistakes and learn something from them. Also, try not to repeat the same mistakes again, and if you do, figure out where you went wrong. Success always comes to those who learn from their mistakes.

Accept your flaws

No one is perfect, so are you. Accept your flaws and imperfection. Everyone has flaws and imperfections. You just need to accept those flaws and work towards them. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Having flaws is okay. But what is more okay is to accept them. Accept yourself as you are.

Accept and embrace change

Change can be lovely at times, but it can also be painful. Change, on the other hand, is inevitable. How will you know if you've grown and succeeded? Only by seeing the changes that have occurred in your life. Right? Some changes are challenging and hard to accept. That isn't to say they aren't good.  It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or painful, Ones must accept those and embrace them. Accepting changes shows we're growing.

Be humble

Be humble and kind towards other people. Before you speak, keep an eye on your mouth. Make sure you're not offending anyone's feelings. Always have a gratitude attitude.

Compliment others

When you compliment others, you make a positive impact on them. 

You have a positive impact on others when you compliment them. To be successful in life, one must learn to value others. Complimenting others makes you a positive person and people love to be around those who spread positive vibes. It turns you into a good human.

Surround yourself with positive people

Your surroundings matter a lot in your life. Surround yourself with people that appreciate you and give you good vibes. People who are positive will constantly inspire you and make you feel wonderful. The negative ones, on the other hand, will constantly find flaws in you, even if you are performing admirably. It is important to have positive people in your life. Positive people will always encourage and motivate you, even when you are at your lowest.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle

You can't accomplish anything if you're not in good health. You must be healthy if you want to be successful in life. Consume healthy foods and refrain from drinking or smoking. Do regular meditation and exercise as it helps you to achieve a calm and peaceful mind. Emotional and mental well-being is equally vital, and they can only be attained if you are in good health.

10 Dont's

Don't undervalue yourself

Don't undervalue your worth just because someone else does it. You know what you are and what you deserve. You have a whole universe inside you, so stop undervaluing yourself. Your life’s purpose is something else. Don't let anyone decide your value. 

Don't focus on negative vibe and people

Some will come and go, and that is the reality of life. You will encounter both good and negative people. Just don't let those negative ones ruin your good vibes. Stop focusing on those negative vibes. Stay away from toxic people. They are only here to squander your time and energy. It's important to cut ties with someone who gives you negative vibes or is toxic in any way. 

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. 

Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes are proof that you are trying. It's never too late to learn from your mistakes.  A person who tries things and makes an effort will make mistakes as well. No one becomes successful without mistakes. Take mistakes in a positive way and learn something from them.

Don't be afraid to try something new

Sticking to the same thing will not gonna make you realize your worth or allow you to grow. Things change with time, and you should be aware of those changes. Come out of your comfort zone and try things.  Don't hold yourself back from trying new things. 

Don't give up too quickly

As I often say, there will always be ups and downs. When life knocks you down, don't stick to the ground. Rise and do it again. Those who give up easily never succeed. Commit yourself to achieving your goals no matter how tough the journey is. Don't give up easily too quickly.

Don't stop learning

Learning has no limit. . If you have the opportunity to learn something new every day, take advantage of it because successful people never stop learning. The more you learn, the more you will grow. It does not matter if it is big learning or small.

Don't make excuses

Stop making excuses. If you are making an excuse, then I am sorry you can not be successful. Successful people don't make excuses; instead, they just make hustle. Make an effort, not an excuse.

Don't compare yourself

Success is all about what you are today and what you want to be tomorrow. It's never about someone else. If you are influenced by those fake social media life and have begun comparing yourself to them, then honey please stop. Stop comparing your life with those. Your goals, your life’s purpose is different. Let them be them and let you be you. If you want to be successful just to become them, then you should not try this much harder. You can be inspired by them but don't try to be them. Do it for your own sake, for the sake of your life. Stop comparing yourself with anyone out there. You should be your own competition.

Don't stick in past

Still stuck in the past success, failure, achievement. Oh come on, the past has gone. Don't stick in your past. You can only learn from your mistakes. The present and future should be your main priorities. Don't get caught up in the past and squander your time.

Don't lose faith in yourself

The only person who will be with you all the time is you. Never, ever lose faith in yourself. The importance of self-belief cannot be emphasized. You can conquer everything if you have faith in yourself. Self-belief plays a major role to achieve success. 


Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in and day out. By Robert Collier
