“The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.”

Learn How to Balance Life
If people think their job will lead to success, they might spend too much time on it and neglect other areas of their life.
Keep a balance between work, rest, health and life.
Do Not Be Afraid of Failure
See each “failure” as a lesson. For Thomas Edison, each failed attempt, each rejection, were key steps on his path to success.
AS Henry Ford stated: “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”
Resolve to Succeed
It’s the easiest thing in the world to let failure keep you down.
The only way to push on is if you will not be moved or dissuaded from your goals.
Be a Person of Action
Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and others shaped the world. They did not sit "back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things."
Don’t be afraid of going outside the norm. If you can think of a better way to do something, do it that way. If you fail, try again.
Cultivate Positive Relationships
The best leaders and some of the most influential people were friendly to those around them. People liked them. They wanted them to do well. This is key to good leadership.
Introducing New Ideas
To truly do things differently (and all successful people did things differently), you need to think differently. If you have a new idea, celebrate it.
Believe in Your Capacity to Succeed
Success has to be something you can imagine yourself achieving.
Believe in yourself. Keep dreaming.
Maintain a Positive Mental Attitude
Trust in your ability to succeed.
Replace negative thoughts with positive ones. Approach problems as tasks that need to be completed. If you stay positive, setbacks won't affect you so much.
Don’t Let Discouragement Stop You
When surrounded by doubts, giving up can actually seem like a good idea. Don't let those thoughts discourage you.
Work Hard
You’ll never become successful if you don’t work towards your goal in life. True success comes from hard work.
Follow Your Intuition
If you strongly believe and desire something, you might already have an idea of how to get there. Learn to trust your own instincts.

Finish what you started
Which of your projects, errands and general to-do items do you still have left from the previous year that you may be able to complete in less than 2 hours? Do them now to enable you to give yourself a fresh start.
Be realistic
Dreaming is great, but if you want to accomplish some improvements, you need to make your dream more realistic.
Break your dream down into milestones: if you want to work from home, what steps do you need to take? Break those steps down further into actionable steps and start working towards making your dream a reality.

Fear of poverty
Many people are stuck in “survival mode.” Too many people settle for mediocrity because they think they must “survive” instead of “thrive.”
Never let the fear of poverty hold you back from your dreams.
Fear of old age (and death)
Benjamin Franklin once said, "Most people die at 25 and are buried at 75." This metaphorical death comes when people figure they can't make it happen, so they end up quitting in advance.
Fear of old age can also be harmful when a person has to go through a major career transition. In the end, age is far less important than your belief in yourself.
