What are your success habits? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world.
Answer by Dean Graziosi, NY Times Best-Selling Author, Investor, and Entrepreneur, on Quora:
Everyone wants “overnight success.” Even the most realistic people you know dream at times of making it big in an instant – of becoming famous or rich or suddenly shredded from one single move of brilliance.
But unfortunately, overnight success simply doesn’t exist. And pining for it is a waste of time.

Unsuccessful people focus entirely on what’s wrong with the world. They think about the people holding them back, the bad advice they’ve received, the variety of reasons why they should not work harder in pursuit of their goals – because what’s the point?

It’s harder to focus on the good, yes – in fact, in some ways it feels like we’re hardwired to be pessimistic and negative – but it gets easier the more you practice it. Success starts, after all, in your mind. It’s a product, at least in part, of the perspective with which you assess the world and the opportunities within it…
