Ways to lead a successful life

Develop certainty in yourself. Successful people know that they will get their goals. Either life will give it to them freely, or they will work incredibly hard all their life until they make life give it to them.
Focus on the what, not the how. It is not important to know how you will get there, that will come in time. But it is important to know what you want so you stay on track with all the different ways to get there.
Keep growing, learning and improving. Focus most of your energy on this. In the next 5 years most of the people around you will try to avoid this at all costs. Reaching the top 1% is only determined by your ability to consistently improve, not giving up before the other 99% of people.
Be incredibly happy every day. Success is not measured by the money in your bank account. It is measured by the quality of life you lead day in and day out. Being happy is a pre-requisite of being successful!
Ignore the results. Results will fluctuate constantly, sometimes you will have amazing feedback and other times horrible comments. But you are not in this for the results, you are in life to be happy, live an extraordinary existence and create meaning. Remember that.
Do what you said you would do, especially if you do not want to. This will set you apart from 90% of all people. Just think about how happy the average person is in their life, and then realize that 50% are even less happy. If you can do what you said you would you will reach the top 10%.
Stop being a slave to your emotions. Your emotions run you into the feeling average and not doing anything with your life. Take control of your emotions, beat them when you need to work, and indulge in them when you have the time.
But listen to them. There is a reason that emotion came up in the first place. Do not be a slave to it, but do listen and address it sometime in the near future to figure out what is going on. Or repress it and wait until it becomes a monster so big that you cannot ignore it anymore… your call.
Get a mentor. Successful people have multiple mentors all the time. They have business, life, relationship, spiritual, fitness and finance coaches/mentors.
Talk to the big guys and gals. Get in touch with your personal heroes, no matter how big they are. There are sites and ways to talk to even the biggest celebrity!
Surround yourself with amazing people (#Mastermind). You can stay around your friends if that is really how you want to end up later on, or you can decide to hang around people who live the life you want and be driven towards them… again; your call.
Bring value. Successful people give value to the world. That is what fills their life with meaning and what makes them feel happy at the end of the day. If you cannot find a way to bring value to something you deem as important then you will never feel truly alive.
