Learning from others is the best way to gain the wisdom from others successes and failures. In discussions with others who have been successful in life, I ask them about their top 10 best advice for personal success and have listed the best of them below. Most of these personal success life lessons are not taught in school or we learn the hard way by making mistakes but if you could gain the insights from those who have been there before, you can get a head start in developing yourself and your success with the guidance of experience and knowledge who have been there before you. These 10 valuable life lessons also serve as a great reminder for us as we live our lives and seek to be the best that we can be with each day. Please share your personal success life lessons in the comment section if you wish to share.
- Attitude: The one thing you can control is your attitude towards life and how you deal with them. If your attitude is dominated by negative thoughts and negativity, then you will get what you focus on. Rather, focus on the positives and gain from the knowledge of different experiences as you progress in life. Take obstacles in life as life lessons and see yourself through by taking charge of your attitude. Life will bring us many challenges, but it is up to you on how you handle them and your attitude.
- Passion: Find your passion and find a job/career or start a business that you are passionate about. Consider this, when you are doing something you are passionate about, the time just seems to fly by, just like when you are having fun. Your success in life and career is directly related with you doing something you are passionate about because you will put your heart and spirit behind what you do to make it successful. Even the brightest minds that works for a job that they have no passion for will only give half the effort, where a person with a true passion will give it there all.
- Goals: Do you have goals? Having goals gives you the life strategy for you strive towards, goals change with time and as situation changes but by having goals big and small you can work your way towards a direction you want. Without goals, we run the risk of moving aimlessly towards something we don't know where we will be ending. It is easy to not have goals because then you have already accomplished them, but to continually grow and develop yourself, you should set small and big goals for your life and see them through.
- Health: Without health, you body, mind and spirit is incapable of doing things you want to accomplish. Be good to your body since it is the only body you will have for the rest of your life. It is the machine that allows you to carry out your thoughts, dreams and desires. Don't take your health for granted and respect it by doing the most you can.
- Learn: Continually seek to learn new things, new skills and stay curious. Knowledge is definitely power and with education both formal and informal will provide you with the personal success tools for you to use as you progress in life. I am a true believer in always learning, to challenge your mind and to strive to gain knowledge.
- Excellence: Strive for excellence in all you do. If you do anything, why not try to do it with excellence. If you are in school, strive to make the best grades, at work give it your all.. Simply ask yourself, why do things half heatedly? Give it your all versus just doing the minimum required, go above and beyond, this way you will gain the rewards during and after you accomplish each task you chose to do. Even the small things, do them well.
- Focus: Whatever it is you are doing or if you have goals, give them the proper focus and attention so that you nurture them to success. With focus you give your full attention and heart, we are only give so many hours in a day, chose to focus on specific action items and goals in life and you will find that you will accomplish more.
- Always Improve: Continually seek to be a better person today than you were yesterday. Personal innovation and growth involves a continuous commitment to continuous growth.
- Balance: Without balance, something will give. If you focus too much attention on one thing, everything else in your life will give. Seek balance in life, career, health, and thoughts. Like they say, too much of a good thing can also be bad, seek balance and set aside time for all the joys and responsibilities in life.
- Patience: Having patience for yourself and others will pay you with rewards in the long run. Good things don't come easy and with patience you see them through to full fruition. Many people give up right before they realize the ultimate success. If you believe in something, be patient and persistently work your way toward accomplishing whatever it is you have set out to do. Every successful self made person has the patience and confidence in their dreams and most of us only see the end result of success, but don't see the time, sweat, tears and failures that each successful person endured until they realized success. Give it the proper time and patience.

The power of focus is a force that dictates our day to day thoughts, feelings and actions. In the movie, Karate Kid, when Mister Miyagi told Daniel to "must have focus", he specifically meant the focus on what he was trying to accomplish. I think we all learn lessons from things we watch and movies do have lessons in them. When you are trying to accomplish something such as your personal goals, do you focus on them or do you wander in your thoughts? What we chose to focus on, is also an important factor in the end result of our actions. If we focus on the negative, what do you think will come about that?
