One of our readers put forward the following query:

There is no word answer for this, it is a self analysis. Let's find out the answer to this question in this article.

Stick to the 4Cs

This was covered in our previous article as well as in Telegram live.

Why are you not making progress ? Many of you have this same doubt. You are reading more books and watching videos on the internet but why there is no progress. 

Let's take a look at the top 5 mistakes we make that prevent us from progressing and advancing in our lives. 

1. Not putting sufficient efforts

We expect results, but most of us are unwilling to put forth the effort required to achieve those results. 

We are attempting to obtain something for nothing.

Remember that no one can get without first giving. As the old adage goes, we reap what we sow. We are anticipating grains but have yet to sow them. Some were have sown thistles and they are expected to produce a large harvest. This is a stupid strategy. You must plant a grape yard if you want to harvest grapes. There were no other options.

It is as if everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die. There will be no progress if no effort is put forth. You should be deserving of that outcome.

2. No patience 

We cannot expect to achieve success overnight. Is it possible to harvest after a week or month of sowing seeds? Without a doubt, no. 

People are looking for quick results. However, it takes time to see the desired results.

Most of them will not continue to strive in their efforts to achieve success. This is due to a lack of patience. After a certain period of time. They lack motivation and will quit in the middle, rambling about their future. They began to think negatively, and everything will be collapsed, leaving only a mess. 

Remember, The chicken is obtained by hatching the egg, not smashing it.

Everything has its own time, and while it may be delayed at times, being patient and putting forth the necessary efforts will earn you more in the long run. Life is like a long marathon; it is not a sprint race.

3. Lack of a proper system

If you are destined for success, you must have a proper system in place to set your goals, track your goals, and achieve your goals.

We are skilled at goal-setting. Setting a goal, on the other hand, is simple. The only thing that counts in the end is that you achieve your goals within the time frame you set for yourself.

After deciding on a goal. We are pursuing it for a short period of time until we are driven by motivation. However, motivation is short-lived. Everyone else will lose motivation at some point. 

Goals are the directions, while a system is a path that allows you to follow the directions and arrive at your destination. 

When you understand this and create a proper system that holds you and motivates you to pursue your goal even when you are not motivated to do so. 

4. Being overloaded with information 

Rich and successful people tend to know a little bit about a lot of things and hire experts for the details. They only learn what they need to know. Then, once they've learned it, they'll put it to use. That is why they have been so successful. 

Nowadays, we can learn anything we want from the comfort of our own homes by using the internet. There are several good things on the internet, which has the highest level of knowledge.

We are consuming more information that is unrelated to our goals. It's not entirely a bad thing. However, it takes up your time, energy, and attention. There is so much information that it is no longer possible to use it effectively. 

We thrive in an information-saturated era, which can be difficult to avoid at times. Information overload reduces productivity and negatively impacts decision-making ability. 

Learn what you need to know by limiting your information consumption by turning off your internet for a set amount of time and only using it when necessary.

5. Being enslaved by an addiction. 

Addictions begin as a delightful and pleasurable habit. It will bring you more happiness at first, but after a while, your addictions will consume you. It will gradually reveal its dark side and finally you were trapped and engrossed in it. Finally, you found yourself trapped and engrossed in it.

You cannot achieve freedom if you are enslaved. Addictions erode one's ability to live freely. It will not allow you to open the doors to success and freedom. 

Despite the fact that you are consuming self-improvement content and working on your goals. If you are addicted to something, you will be unable to fully focus on achieving your goals.

Your attention and focus will be diverted, and you will be forced to abandon your goals in order to satisfy your short-term pleasures and addictions. 

If you're addicted to something, get rid of it. As quickly as possible. I understand how difficult it is to give up your addictions. But you must do so in order to achieve your goals. It is necessary to forego short-term pleasures in order to experience long-term joy. It is worth to giving up on your addictions.

These are the top 5 mistakes which prevents us from making progress.
