How To Take Action
I would suggest you start by surrounding yourself with people who have achieved what you're aiming for. Don't just listen to those closest to you but look at those who have reached the goals you want. This doesn't mean you need to meet them in person. You can follow them online, read their books, or listen to their podcasts. This way, their mindset can influence you positively.
A good way of doing this is to critically evaluate who you compare yourself to. Instead of just hanging with friends or family who don’t have what you want, focus on people who push you toward your goals. This means being intentional about what content you consume and who you listen to daily.
Another key step is unlearning outdated beliefs. Reflect on why you believe what you do. If you can't explain the reason behind a belief, consider if it's truly yours or just something you picked up from others when you were younger.
Lastly, as an adult, practice evaluating advice critically. Realize that not all advice is valuable, even if it comes from those who care about you. Your path is unique, and only you can truly decide which direction to take. Make sure your beliefs and actions align with your true goals and aspirations.
