The 5 traits of highly successful people, paraphrased from the Washington Post:
1. Stray away from the norm. It takes a major cognitive shift to understand that the way things are, and have been, can be challenged.
2.Perservere, be passionately committed even when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Accept that you won't see any return on it for years.
3. Take the initiative to problem solve.
4. Take risks to create value.
5. Be disciplined.
I believe this can be applied to anything in our lives. The worst thing that can happen is if we sit on our butts and do nothing because our reasoning for it is that it's never been done in such and such a way before. God gave each one of us creativity and ideas and if we walk in His Spirit, we will get insights on how God wants us to do things. If we read the Bible, we will see that God is hugely creative in how He problem solves. We need to realize that we don't need to conform but rather, we need to transform ways of thinking. And to persevere to walk by faith and not by sight. Taking the initiative to do something when we see a need and not wait for someone else to do it and actually stepping out to do it. Above all, disciplining ourselves in the Lord, in our daily lives so that we not only talk the talk but we walk the walk as well.
