Some of the Major causes of Failure in life that holding us back
Life's greatest tragedy when men and women who earnestly try, and fail. The Tragedy lies in the overwhelmingly large majority of people who fail, as compared to the few who succeed. Here are some Causes from the Books of Think and grow rich..
1.LACK OF SELF- DISCIPLINE. Discipline comes through self- control. This means that one must control all negative qualities. Before you can control conditions, you must control yourself. Self- mastery is the hardest job you will ever tackle.If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.
2.LACK OF WELL- DEFINED PURPOSE IN LIFE. There is no hope of success for the person who is so indifferent as not to want to get ahead in life, and who is not willing to pay the price.
3.ILL HEALTH. No person may enjoying outstanding success without good health. Many of the causes of ill health are subject to mastery and control. These, in the main are:
a.Overeating of foods not conductive of health
b.Wrong habits of thought; giving expression to negatives.
c.Lack of proper physical exercise.
d.An inadequate supply of fresh air, due to improper breathing.
4.PROCRASTINATION. This is one the most common causes of failure. '' Old Man procrastination'' stands within the shadow of every human being, waiting his opportunity to spoil one's chances of success. Most of us go through life as failures, because we are waiting for the ''time to be right'' to start doing something worthwhile. Do not wait. The time will be'' just right'' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
5.OVER- CAUTION. The person who takes no chances, generally has to take whatever is left when others are through choosing. Over- caution is as bad as under- caution. Both are extremes to be guarded against. Life itself is filled with the element of chance.
These are just the basic causes of failure. Napoleon Hill in his think and grow rich book mentioned about Thirty Major causes of failure.
