1. Show restraint when needed.

Exhibiting discipline is vital to achievement. Put in the work, exercise, eat healthy, chase improvement, and hustle every day. And don’t forget to smile a little daily, too. Maintain enough restraint to resist chasing after cheap dopamine rushes. Lazy naps and binge-watching the latest on Hulu have their place, but not at the expense of your dreams. Always keep the long game in mind.

2. Exhibit tenacity.

You will struggle at times while chasing success. Becoming the best version of yourself demands some sacrifice and recovery from setbacks. Develop enough determination to persist through challenges, or you will fall short of your goals.

3. Be dissatisfied with the status quo.

Strong performers demand more from themselves and out of life. They appreciate what they have but know they deserve even more. Rather than being complacent, you should strive to obtain everything you want. Allow your desire to fuel your efforts and drive you toward greatness.

4. Develop the ability to rebound.
