Stop being a people-pleaser. It’s impossible to please everyone, and it’s stressful. It’s better to have a small circle of close contacts than many acquaintances you need to appease. You want to be successful, not a sycophant, right?
Stop hanging out with nasty people. Your environment either pulls you up or tramples you further into the ground. Choose who to be friends with and who to surround yourself with practically. Avoid garbage.
Stop watching porn so often (men). Not only is it addictive, but with each orgasm, you lose strength - you ejaculate not only semen but also your motivation. It’s better to save energy and spend your time more wisely.
Stop needing to talk when you’re bored. Don’t know what to do? Don’t call someone for the sake of hour-long conversations about nothing. Instead, read/listen to a book or do something you’ve been putting off for days. Get rid of the need to fill the silence with empty chatter. Fill it with your own depth.
Stop caring about the opinions of others. It’s beyond your control. And if you can’t control it, why worry and fret? It’s a waste of time. Be independent and free yourself from the shackles of approval - they hinder your path to success. Not all your actions will be approved by others, so boldly ignore them. Approve of yourself.
Stop being in destructive relationships. Does your partner constantly pressure you? Constantly provoke quarrels and scandals? Is there no constructiveness in the relationship? Don’t hope for the best; move on. Break up. Spare your nerves; you’ll need them later.
Stop relying on miracles or luck. 99% of all results depend on your efforts, perseverance, and ambitions. Why would you rot in the shadows for 60 years, hoping for a miracle, if you can create that miracle yourself in a shorter time?
Stop procrastinating. If you need to do something, do it. Don’t think that tomorrow you’ll find a compromise with yourself and want to do something worthwhile. Do what’s necessary immediately. Don’t deceive yourself, and don’t put obligations in the back burner. By doing this, you’re only delaying your success.
