Successful people are intelligent, diligent, and reliable. Most unsuccessful people have traits in common.

We might be able to change our lives for the better if we can identify these tendencies in ourselves.

Below are the kinds of people who can’t make it:

Failure-averse.

Nothing will be accomplished by this man. Most people avoid trying new things out of fear of failing. Failure is inevitable without taking risks.

Weaklings.

This group may also struggle to change for the better. If you quit up too soon, you’ll hold the entire world responsible for your failure.

People who are always bragging about themselves.

Even though we don’t want to acknowledge it, most of us have probably done this a few times.

It is in our nature to want the respect and honor of others, and occasionally we see no other way to obtain it but to push it upon others.

Joseph Smith questioned if it is harmful to think well of oneself and whether we should make an effort to appear kind to others.

People who gripe.

You can tell them it’s always preferable to “go and do instead of sit and stew” if you know someone who always complains. Napoleon Bonaparte possessed everything that modern men would desire.

To him, it meant nothing. However, take into account Helen Keller, who was blind, deaf, and mute.

I have discovered life to be so beautiful, she proclaimed as she strolled about.

Even Nevertheless, despite appearing carefree and content, such folks are happier.

Rule-makers.

Some people engage in negative self-talk. They speak repeatedly with the phrase “I can’t do this.” Now that’s self-damage.

These people frequently impose boundaries. They will make declarations like, “I’ll never own my own business.”
