Positive vs Negative...Serenity vs Misery...You vs Yourself?

Have you ever looked at successful happy people and wondered how they got there? Or seen someone who came from a similar background, but they are in a horrible place in life? I think it all has to do with how we think and what we let our brain tell us. I'm sure this idea is in many books that I just haven't read, but there are some specific things to have our minds focus on that will help us to be more successful and happy.

People who succeed People who fail take responsibility blame others make commitment and keep them no matter what make promises that they always break think about how they can achieve give excuses constantly expand their comfort zone stay in their comfort zone are humble are egoistic give their best for the things that they decide to do work half heartedly in everything that they do manage their time well and indulge in high value activities that will bring them closer to their goals lack time management skills and indulge in time wasting activities like playing games and watching re runs for the umpteen time listen fight for every chance to talk think and lead refuse to think so they follow help others to win refuse to help and think only about their own benefit think about possibilities focus on obstacles that will stop them from achieving take failure in their stride and learn from them fear failure and avoid them at all cost find opportunities in crisis complain about crisis
