goal to focus on some particulars because without goals, one cannot monitor themselves and

This is the most important habit that a person must need to be successful in life. It is not
necessary that a decision-making is always right, sometimes it leads to failure and sometimes
success. Usually people blame others for their failure and unable to handle it, but for succession,
one must learn that failures are the part of success, everybody have to face it, important is that
how much the person can learn out of their failure, if person has this courage to overcome failure
without blaming anyone else instead taking own responsibility of what is happening then they
will definitely achieve their targets for what they are aspiring for. It is important because:
 It helps in growth and overall development of a person by taking responsibility for their
own failure or success because it brings maturity in necessary phases of life which is
required in every person to be successful (Carden and Wood, 2018).
 It helps to stay away from excuses because excusing is the first step towards failure itself,
and taking responsibility is the step towards success.
 It helps in building right mindset as handling failure brings the mind to it's next level of
success so taking responsibility matures the mind which pushes the person towards
success. It helps in focusing on learning outcomes as failures teach a lot of learnings about what is
to be ignored and what to give importance so taking responsibility of failures brings more
exploration of learnings (Covey and Covey, 2020).
Obsessed with self-development
Obsession for personal development is the most necessary habit that one must acquire in
their life. Because until the person is not self-obsessed, aspiring for achievement is difficult for
them. It is said that until and unless a person cannot love themselves, then they cannot love
anyone else in their life. Therefore, it is important to be self-obsessed for personal growth and
development. Some important points describing reasons are:
 It helps to be less stressed and more tougher and happier because obsession of self
development is a part of self love and loving oneself leads to free mind with less tension.
 It helps in beating failures as self obsessed person are more conscious about it's
succession and failure so they mainly focus on how to overcome failures to be successful
in life.
 It helps to target bigger goals as enthusiasm in a person leads to think bigger rather then
targeting the small things (Haldane, 2018).
