One of the most important things is: a person should be able to set specific and clear goals and draw up a plan to achieve them. This applies to both short-term and long-term goals of an individual. Of course, speaking of a plan and action, we should note that a very important factor on the way to the goal is discipline.

Remember that success is a journey, not a destination. There will be ups and downs and it is important to remain patient and persistent along the way.

Apart from having to follow a certain plan to achieve your goals and dreams, it is very important to know what you have to give up or suffer shortage of in order to get closer and closer to achieving them.

Don't burden yourself with unrealistic expectations. If your head is in the clouds, you are much more likely to experience major disappointment along the way. It is important that your goals are realistic and achievable, which will bring you satisfaction from achieving them.

Don't just think short-term. Setting only short-term goals can prevent you from looking more seriously into the future and miss important moves that will help you move forward in time to achieve something bigger.

Don’t think that you know and can do absolutely everything. This can deprive you of the chance to learn many important things for your development. Be open and curious about new knowledge. Try to learn on the go, explore and accept other people's perspectives.

Stop trying to be the person others want to see. Be yourself and don't feel guilty for the actions of others. Trying to be someone other than yourself takes away your authenticity and creativity.

Don't stop and don't be afraid to take risks if you have failed. Do not give up! Your success is more likely if you take on new opportunities and risks that will help you grow on the path to your goal.

Don't try to be perfect. Nobody is like that. In your attempts to be perfect, you waste unnecessary time, which can be very important for achieving the goal and even seriously distract you from it.
