Success is not limited to any particular area in life, it's seen in virtually every area of our life. Everyone in life desires to be successful, but one thing must be certain-- Success is not spontaneous. It's a combination of efforts and sacrifices.

In as much as there are keys to success, there are also ones that go against success. Anyone who desires success should run away from them in order to be successful.

I feel there is need to lay bare some of these antagonists to success. So here's a list of them

COMPLACENCY

Complacency is one enemy of success, it gives you a feeling that you have arrived and people make very costly mistakes settling with this feeling. Success is like a journey, you start off another when you get to the terminal of one, no definite destination..

It is also important to note that the world is rapidly evolving, whatever is your achievement today could easily be rubbished by the generation coming right behind you.

Never forget that there are bigger mountains, new mountains, lands to discover and climb.

Always turn a deaf ear to the echoes of complacency, keep the fire burning and going.

There's always more to life, even though you have millions or present success, there's need to get better with it. If indeed you desire to achieve lasting success, then you need to keep working and rebuke the echoes of complacency.

EXCUSE OF LACK OF RESOURCES

Success basically have principles, the principles of success are keys, keys that achieve positive results. But then failure has excuses, which are complains and continuous excuses about issues.

One enemy of success is excuses, complaining that why you have not succeeded yet is because of lack of resources is a deliberate excuse militating against success.

Resources and it's like are not primary determinants of success. Though they are very important to success, but making good use of the little you have is a main thrust in success.

Being successful does not demand you have the best of resources, but putting together little information, things and unrelated materials in dexterous manner.

Training ones mind to be prudent in small is a success key to going global. People who complain always about resources find it hard achieving success. Learn to collect and connect what you have to success

EGO

Your ego is another powerful enemy that can hinder your progress and success in life. Believing that you are infallible or invincible after achieving some prior success is a trap that ensnares many people.

Pride they say goes before a fall. The believe that you are invincible or infallible is a step to failure.

A lot of individuals get really proud and pompous immediately they achieve some level of success. They now believe that it's gon be business as usual and this is a problem as no direct effort for improvement is made.

Your ego blocks you from seeing impeding challenges and areas of improvement. It's more like an immune destructor. You are now carefree about issues, taking everything for casual and this usually results to failure.

One way to always solve this is looking at things differently and also reading books on managing your - Ego-

LOSS OF FOCUS

When most people reach the top of their game, they become the envy of their peers. It is at that point many decide to branch out and diversify their interests and activities.

Success comes from focusing on what you have passion for. Jack of all trade, but master of none.

People easily get distracted when they achieve success or want to achieve success. You see them venturing into different things without giving focus to one.

Diversifying is good but often times, we pay dearly for it as it is hard to carry two things together at once.

If we could channel the energy we use for different things into one, how great an achievement would we have amassed.

Making impact requires your non divided attention and focus gives you this, also focus on your strengths

Focusing on fear or challenges would only reduce your motivation to succeed. Always focus on the very important things you desire

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear– Brian Tracy

FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

The fear of the unknown makes you shy away from taking bigger risks and chances. Life itself is a risk and you need to take risk for you to be successful in life.

Never get too comfortable in that comfort zone, always make sure you take risks and don't fear whatever that could arise as it has hindered people from success.

Every successful person isn't afraid trying new things. It's normal to question your pursuit but it's very abnormal allowing it keep you down from pursuing dreams.

The voice of fear keeps telling you to have doubts and insecurities but always keep a deaf ear to its bidding

One way to silence and kill fear is to be confident and trust your instincts.

Once you avoid all these, you'll be successful and more focused in life.
