Let me start off by stating that although these habits are great indicators, they do not define a successful person.
Nor do I believe that all successful persons have these exact same qualities.

However, these are some of the good characteristics displayed by most people who are considered to be successful.
These daily habits when practiced daily, will help you to improve your life in order to become a better person.

Practice these 12 Good Habits daily to become a better Person
Set Goals
To achieve success, you must set goals and make sure those goals are specific.
If you’re setting goals for yourself, think about why you want to accomplish something.

What would happen if you succeeded? How will you feel? What will people think of you?
These questions will help you determine whether your goal is worth pursuing.
Be Persistent
Being persistent almost comes off as a natural characteristic because successful people always keep their eyes on the end goal.
Regardless of the challenges faced along the way and the many tries it takes until they achieve that goal they never give up.
Take Responsibility
In order to be successful, you need to take responsibility for your actions and decisions.
This includes not only what you say and do, but also how you act.
It’s easy to blame others when things go wrong, but blaming yourself will never help you improve.
Instead, focus on improving yourself by making better choices.
Have Confidence
The reason I listed this one as a factor is because sometimes a lot people have a lot of great ideas but are not confident enough to turn that idea into a reality.

You can have a lot of wonderful ideas but if they never materialize into something then that’s all it is.
Just an idea!
So having confidence in yourself and what you do is very important.
Learn From Failure
It’s easy to say “I’m going to do X” when you haven’t done anything yet.
However, if you’ve never tried something before, you’ll probably fail at first.
This is normal. You should expect failure.
Instead of feeling bad about failing, try to figure out what went wrong so you can avoid making the same mistakes next time.
Take Risks
Most successful people take risks that others are fearful of taking.
If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t take risks.
And without taking risks, you will never achieve success.
So, stop being scared of failure. Failure is part of life.
It happens to everyone.
Don’t let it hold you back.
There is a saying that growth takes place at the point of leaving your comfort zone and that is a proven fact.
Have Patience
Everyone of us have a streak of impatience in us but it is essential to be patient.
Success for example doesn’t occur overnight and it is easier to give up than to keep pushing forward but I promise that if you do the hard work it will pay off.
Read Daily
Notice the key word being daily here and I am guilty of not reading enough books.
But although I don’t read books daily, I find myself either listening to a podcast or researching information online which sort of equates to that.

Always find a way to learn something new everyday in whichever way is comfortable for you.
Get Organized
Organization is another way of saying having your priorities in order.
Being organized stems from setting goals and knowing what you want to achieve in life.
Without knowing what you want out of life then you would result in not having a plan.
So plan for your future and get to working on it because it is never too late to start now!
Exercise
Not a characteristic but a task that you should make time for at least 30 minutes everyday.
Making exercise part of your daily routine is a commitment and a way of promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Have you ever realized how good you feel after a workout?
Not only that but your mind is clear, you feel energized and ready to approach any task.
Be Proactive
You might think that being proactive means doing things before they happen.
However, there’s another side to being proactive.

Being proactive also means taking steps to prevent negative outcomes from happening.
If you do something now, you’ll avoid having to deal with the consequences later.
Aim To Have A Balanced Lifestyle
Having a balanced lifestyle is as equally important as working towards achieving your dreams.
Put aside time to spend with family, friends and of course yourself.
Don’t become so consumed with life and working hard that you miss all the important moments in between.
