Everybody is pursuing for success, no matter who you are now today, you want to be successful in everything you do don’t you? I believe that even if you ask a beggar, is it that he wants to be successful? You bet, he will say yes. Everyone wants to be successful, but more than 90% of them are going to fail this quest. Why? Good question, let us discover why…

In my opinion, there are only a few MAIN REASONS that make people fail. Below are the 4 main reasons why most people never achieve their goals in life. If you can overcome these 4 obstacles, you can practically achieve anything.
1. Limiting Belief
The most important thing, our belief system. Ask yourself this question, do you actually believe that you can earn $10,000 a month? Do you believe that you can achieve anything you want in your life? If you don’t believe it, how are you going to achieve it? Many people dream about how they live their perfect life, how much they earn, where they want to go vacation, what car they are driving, but they are just merely dream about it.
They never really committing any rock-and-solid actions to make their dreams come true. Think about it, when you are driving in your car, and suddenly your ‘dream car’ overtake your car. What comes into your mind? Most people will think it this way, “Nice car, but I can’t afford it”. This is the limiting belief that is going to stop you from achieving it!
You now know that these are nothing but limiting beliefs. Unless we break past these generalizations about ourselves, we will never dare to design goals that drive us to the next level. Your Beliefs Determine Your Success, very true, read it and you will discover how our belief system plays an important role in our life.
2. Not Having A Clear Goal
Many people know that they have to be successful in life, but they don’t know what they want actually! All they know is that they have to somehow achieve something, but they never really know what is it that they want to achieve. They don’t have a clear goal. This is one of the big problems that most people face today.
It is not that people don’t know what they want. What has truly happened is that most people have stopped daring to dream. I believe that as kids, all of us had fantasies and dreams of what we wanted to have and be when we grow up. However, as we went through life, we meet with so many failures and disappointments that our rationale, critical mind has forbidden us to continue day dreaming anymore.
You must be very specific about what you want in life, only then you will achieve it. Take Tiger Woods as example, he knew that he wanted to be the number one golfer since he was still a kid. What about Warren Buffet? He too, knew that he wanted to make millions with investment. So, if you still blur with your path today, spend some time to find out what exactly that you want to achieve in your life.
You cannot reach somewhere without knowing where is it that you want to reach. I mean, it is a common sense, if you don’t know what you want, how are you going to achieve it? To set clear goals, you must follow some steps and some criteria, if you don’t know how, click and read this, The #2 Ingredient For Success.
3. Fear Of Failure
Does this mean that people who keep setting goals do not fear failure? Frankly, do you failed before? Do you afraid of failing? Many people have this ‘phobias’ toward doing what they failed before. This fear of failure, of rejection and embarrassment is what probably paralyzes most people from even starting out. Failure? I don’t believe so. I think everyone hates and fears the feeling of failure, including myself.
What then gives them the courage to set high goals and go for it? It is how we define failure to ourselves. The only one who can tell us that we failed and make us feel bad is… ourselves. Yet, this is how we often shoot ourselves in the foot. The moment we do not achieve what we want, even on our first attempt, we tell ourselves we have failed, and feel really bad. This pain is what prevents us - and this goes for the majority of people - from daring to try for high stakes, to taking risks.

4. Staying In The Comfort Zone
There are still many other reasons making people fail in their life, this is not going to be the last. Just that in my opinion, these are the 4 common reasons people fail. So, in order to be successful in your life, you have to get out of your comfort zone. If you keep on staying in your comfort zone, you are not going to achieve anything.
Ask yourself this question, “Are you going to achieve what you wanted if you keep on with your life like this?” Most of the time, the answer will be a NO. Simply because many of us are staying in our comfort zone, we are afraid to change, we fear for the pain due to changes.

Most people are risk averse because they are addicted to a way of life: a soft life, a cushy life with habits and material comforts they are loathed to change or risk losing. Unless that comfy life-style is imminently under threat, they won’t do anything that calls for iron will and discipline. Setting goals and really going for our goals often means changing habits, sacrificing time spent hanging out with friends. This is why people make half-hearted attempts. As soon as their new path
impinges on their old habits, they withdraw… it’s too hard.
These are the 4 common reasons why people fail. You know that to achieve great success, you have to put in real efforts and be committed with it. Remember this, there are no shortcuts to success. So, always be prepared to make what appears to be ’sacrifices’ and, if you do, the rewards are there.
