What sets someone whose successful or not, all comes down to the daily practices that you do.

Below are some of the habits successful people keep away from which if adopted could have a positive impact in your day-to-day routine:

Successful people have a purpose, a laser-focused plan of things they want to achieve on a particular day. This could be through writing down your top priorities and breaking down those large tasks into more reasonable steps and you’ll see yourself wanting to get them done and crossed off the list.

Everyone, including successful people, makes mistakes. The key to being successful in life is not making the same mistake twice, learning and growing from mistakes, and becoming a better person because of them.

Once you've done a mistake, get into a mindset that the mistake is done with and you can’t go back to the past. Focus on what you learned and design a strategy to positively move.

If you find yourself constantly comparing yourself to the next person and it’s bringing you down, it’s time to shift your mindset.

There is no problem in being inspired by other people , but focus your mindset to only compete with the most important person — yourself.

If you want to be your best, you have to surround yourself with the best people.
