You have dreams, goals, and people who you have always wanted to be, but you feel that these dreams have not been realized.

Fortunately, I have two good news to tell you.

The first is that you still have enough time to get on the right track.

Second, you may not be as bad as you think.

Before I started this article, let me first say – in fact, you are good enough, you only need to continue to work hard.

Don’t be a cloud, don’t be arrogant, what’s important – in the current situation – knowing who you are is what makes you able to achieve the success of all types of success.

You didn’t miss anything.

Can you still do more?

Of course.

Do you need to be motivated from time to time?

That’s still to say, sure.

But the premise is that there is ability and method.

You may be able to do a lot of things well, even if you haven’t shown signs of success yet. But if you find these signs, at least you can be the kind of person you want to be on this basis.

You always have the habit of learning

You pick up a book from time to time, and every day is better than before. You will understand what Warren Buffet said, “The more you learn, the more you can learn.”

Maybe you don’t know where this learning will take you to go, but you are doing your best to gain knowledge and develop skills. I don’t know if I can read 75 books a year, can I write two books myself, or do something other sideline, or become a better person, have the courage to speak in front of 1000 people, but the study is actually indirect. Help me to do all of the above.

Keep the habit of learning for life. Although I don’t know where it will take you, I can guarantee that it will be great.

You are still curious about the world

You have not yet succumbed to the environment you are in. You still believe that there will be new possibilities in the future. This is important because succumbing to the status quo will kill the future.

If you have successfully kept some of your childhood curiosity. If the world has not defeated you, cherish this curiosity and explore the field of curiosity as soon as possible.

Your body is still healthy

You know, without health, you can’t achieve any real success. If you don’t have enough health to enjoy life, what is the value of having more money?

Your sleep is sufficient. You maintain the habit of exercising, and the diet is balanced, because you want to keep your body state steady and let you have the capital to achieve new goals. If you have a healthy body, then the future world will be infinitely vast.

You know where your passion is.

Of course, you may not have an ideal career yet, but you already know what your ideal career is. Since I knew that I wanted to be a writer, I calmed down and started working safely, knowing that this passion is just the beginning of my career.

If you find something you like to do – writing, art, programming, car repair, online marketing, engineering – then you have already succeeded in half.

Getting the most out of your passion to pursue your ideals is very exciting. It takes a few years, or even decades, to get the best from what you have at hand, so calm down. In the process of learning, you will experience a leap of knowledge, you will be surprised by what you have mastered, and you will realize how many things you don’t know.

You know to listen to suggestions from others when appropriate

You are not as stubborn as you used to be. When you find that people around you are smarter than you, you will chooseChoose to listen carefully to their views.

Being listening and accepting advice is a skill that many people don’t have.

No matter what you want to pursue in life, there are traces and footprints left by the predecessors on your way to achieving your goals.

Of course, many people will find excuses to declare how special their situation is and try to find a new way.

If you already have the skills to listen and accept advice, you have the ability to move at a higher speed.

You know how to work

You see work as a process of learning. Even if you are not engaged in a career in your dreams, you will realize the importance of paying the price. Most people don’t understand this. They believe that success should be put in the first place, and then their efficiency will increase exponentially.

Those who devote themselves to every job—without skipping any step—have the rare ability to understand their field from top to bottom. Everyone in the current society is impetuous and lacks patience. If you know how to work, you know how to win.

You know your finances

You must have a very clear understanding of your financial situation, even if you are currently facing financial difficulties. Because the reality of ignoring financial difficulties will only exacerbate the dilemma You must be aware that the decisions you make now will affect your future life.

Knowing the situation is only the first step. The second step is to find ways to make more money or save more money. I suggest you choose the former and then find ways to make yourself more valuable.

You are very happy with yourself

When you look in the mirror, you see a person with shortcomings, but you can not only accept your own shortcomings, but also accept them – even love them.

The most confident people in the world have different looks, heights, backgrounds, and growth environments. They have their own traits and character, and they are happy to accept their own weirdness.

Don’t hide your shortcomings because nothing is more attractive and successful than being yourself.

You are not willing to make excuses for yourself again

You realize that you really have some reasonable complaints about your current environment. You can actually find a reasonable excuse to comfort yourself, but you refused. Because you realize that it is useless to make excuses and complaints. An excuse cannot replace the strategy.

If you say to yourself, “Okay, this is my current situation, what should I do?” This shows that you are ready.

You can see the true face of the world

You will be based on reality, not wishful thinking about what things should be. You are not a pessimist, but you do realize the helplessness of life and the difficulty of dealing with others.

You need to know not only the truth of these lives, but alsoPrepare for the challenges of meeting them.

You won’t be tempted by the worst of malice, but you won’t be shocked at all when others are bad for you or others.

You don’t think the world is ridiculous, but you also know that it is inherently unfair. You will accept these realities and do your own thing within the inherent unfairness of the world, not empty. Daydreaming, I hope things are different.

You allow yourself to make mistakes

You no longer pursue perfection. If you don’t do an exercise, or if you don’t do a custom, or forget a task on the to-do list, you won’t panic and give up. If you have the ability to forgive your mistakes and move forward quickly, you will find yourself more ambitious, because you will not be afraid to make mistakes like many people.

You will choose friends who share your interests and positives

You see the impact of your peer group on your life. You no longer tolerate those who do not seek advancement. Although it is difficult to let go, you have already removed these people from your own life, and they will have a negative impact on your future because you have no self-knowledge. Such thoughts and actions are not selfish, because this is your life, and people in life are leaning in the direction of it.

You are surrounded by positive and motivated people, because you are ready to move forward, not sitting still.

You know “opportunistic”

You understand that many questions in the world have been answered. People are progressing on the shoulders of their predecessors. You can still maintain originality, but you will realize that originality is also originally borrowed from it.

As Austin Kleon said, “Stealing from a person is plagiarism, stealing from two hundred people is original.” At the stage of your knowledge, you are eager to get as much useful information and insight as possible from others. And strategy, because life is short-lived, you don’t want to waste time discovering what others have discovered.

You have failed, but you will not lose hope

You have experienced setbacks, but you have not been discouraged. Instead, you are mature enough to find opportunities in failure.

You should not deliberately fail. This failure is not within the scope of what I said. But when you know that failure won’t make you crash, you have a feeling of peace – just like a scar will heal, and then the skin will become harder. In any type of success, perseverance can be the most critical factor.

You don’t care what others think about it

In any case, you are ready for your own life. From time to time, we will fall into the eyes of others and we will not be able to extricate ourselves. As Marcus Aurelius puts it: “What surprised me is why we care more about ourselves than anyone else, but we value others’ opinions more?”

How many people’s lives are ruined by the expectations of their parents, peers, and society? Once you no longer let other people’s opinions influence your life, you can do something that few people can do – what you want to do.

What should I do next?

You have potential. Maybe everything doesn’t happen as you want, but you realize that this is not completely abnormal.

Like you, I spend most of my time thinking about what kind of person I want to be in the future, and what I want my life to be. I have achieved a lot of successes that I thought I could not achieve in the past, but I am still not satisfied, and I hope to achieve more success – are you the same?

If you learn to judge whether you are off track to life, then over time, you will learn how to get back to the right track. Your brain may deceive you and make you feel good enough, but it may also mean that you really need to make real changes in your life.
