Typically, people associate success with money, power and fame. If you have all of these things you could still be unsuccessful. If you do not have wealth, power and fame, people could still consider you as being successful.
A person may have a very solid business and career, which gives him a great job and be well-respected by his coworkers but still not be in the top 10% of successful money earners. All of this does not mean that the person is not successful.
There are many ways that a person can achieve success in their lives. They don’t have to have a high income or a prestigious job.

Here are some personal success traits to consider.
Forgiveness is important to successful people. A truly successful person knows that forgiveness is not just something they should do. For them forgiveness is natural. If they are offended by someone, they know that to keep moving forward, they know that forgiveness will help them.
-
They will forgive the offender and continue to move forward with their lives rather than hold a grudge or let the offence affect them negatively.
-
By forgiving others, they no longer have many negative emotions which enables them to focus on getting closer to their goals which makes them more successful.
They understand when they need to stay with or leave an endeavour. They know when to continue doing what they are doing or when to try something new.
-
A successful person stays with the projects that they are passionate about. They don’t become frustrated or feel burned out due to boredom. They move on when they no longer enjoy what they are doing.
-
They will determine which projects to continue and which ones to abandon using their intuition and gut instinct.
-
This method is usually correct because of their experience in recognizing when the work they are doing is no longer worthwhile for them to continue.
Failure is not feared, it is welcomed. Failure is understood not to be harmful by a successful person. Failure of giving up is the only type of failure to be avoided. They understand that failure means that they are not doing something right. It helps them to continue to learn and to grow.
-
They figure out what is needed to improve and continue with their progress when they experience loss.
-
Being an overnight success is impossible. It requires hard work, patience and time to become successful.
Their habits help them to succeed. Living a balanced life of eating nutritious food, exercise and sleep is essential. A successful person has healthy habits that help them to keep their health and vitality.
-
The work they are doing now is necessary to be successful later. They understand that it isn’t necessary to overwork and burn out in the drive to succeed.
While having money and power is very helpful, they aren’t necessary to achieve success. You don’t have to make a lot of money or be famous to be successful.
Having good habits and positive behaviours are the key to success. Doing this, whether you are rich or poor and you will achieve success.
