James Clear once said, “If successful and unsuccessful people share the same goals, then the goal cannot be what differentiates the winners from the losers.”
So, what does?
According to one study, there are 12 common characteristics that define a motivated person:
- They have a strong desire to achieve their goals.
- They are very driven and focused.
- They are very organized and disciplined.
- They are very positive and optimistic.
- They have a strong sense of purpose.
- They are very self-reliant.
- They have a can-do attitude.
For James Clear, though, there’s one more important characteristic that often gets missed: discernment.
