Many are the keys to success; they include a definite purpose, stating clearly what you want and developing a strong desired to achieve that coveted goal.

We are often taught what secrets we need to succeed in life but it is equally important to know the enemies of success. The obstacles to self-fulfillment are many but three stand out prominent and anyone who truly wants to achieve anything in life must learn to master them in order to insure oneself against their deadly effects. Here then is your insurance policy against failure and am giving them to you free!

1.Fear

Fear is a great enemy of mankind. Most of us live in fear most of our lives. The greatest fears of mankind as outlined by Dr. Napoleon Hill in his Law of Success include the fear of poverty, the fear of death and the fear of criticism. I will focus on the latter for it is one fear that is common to mankind. Many people fail to take risks in business because they fear the criticism that may follow if they fail. Many decisions are not carried out

because of worries of the reactions of friends, acquaintances and family. If you really want to make a difference in your life and in the lives of others. you must not hold yourself back worrying about what they say!

2.Anger

Anger is negative and it does not solve any problem but compounds your troubles in life. A positive mental attitude is the foundation of meaningful achievement. Do not let others make you to lose your balance and mental poise. It is only the calm mind that is capable of envisioning great plans and helping one to surge forward in life. The worst thing about anger is that it affects you more than the person or institution your anger is directed against. In the words of the Buddha, “you will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger. And always remember that the danger in anger is that anger is only one letter short of danger. Learn to forgive others for your own good.

3.Procrastination

The postponement of decisions or action is a great cause of failure in life. Most people fail to take necessary action whenever they have an alibi to advance for not doing what they are supposed to do. Yet procrastination, goes the old saying, is the thief of time. But nay I want to put it this way: procrastination is the thief of success. So do not steal your own success away from yourself. Use your will power to do the things you need to do. “You got to do what you gotto do to win!” says Miami Heat star Dwayne Wade. Now is the best time to ACT!

So here you have three deadly enemies of success. Learn to master them and earn you insurance policy against failure.

Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate Still achieving still pursuing!
