You’ve probably heard it said that “Success is a journey, not a destination.” 
Obviously this is true and clearly success doesn’t happen by accident.
It’s a result of all the choices you make – the things you chose to do and the things you chose not to do.
It takes a plan, time and commitment.
And LifeHack suggested you keep these 15 things in mind to help keep you on track during your journey to success.
1. Remember Your Accomplishments
On days when you want to give up or feel like you can’t ever get there, it’s especially important to remember your accomplishments.
Acknowledge the goals you’ve reached, and use your past successes to fuel your motivation to reach the rest of your goals.
2. Remember to Plan Ahead 
It’s important to plan ahead and take a proactive approach in dealing with barriers.
3. Remember to Do What You Love
When you’re doing what you love, it won’t feel like work.
Instead, it will feel like it is what you are meant to do in life.
4. Remember That You May Fail
Be prepared to fail – successful people experience many failures along the way.
5. Remember to Learn From Your Mistakes
When you fail, it’s important to learn from your mistakes.
Identifying what you can do differently next time can help you reach your goals.
6. Remember to Prepare for the Worst
To be successful, prepare for the worst. Identifying the potential worst-case scenarios and bad outcomes can help ensure that you are only taking calculated risks.
7. Remember to Be Productive with Your Time
If you want to be successful, you need to budget your time wisely.
8. Remember to Set Goals
If you aren’t sure where you going, you’ll never get there.
Define clear goals for yourself so you have something to work on steadily.
Create both short and long-term goals that you want to meet.
9. Remember to Practice Self-Discipline
If you want success, you’ll need to be self-disciplined.
There will be things in life you have to give up in order to reach your goals.
You might not be able to do all the things you want, spend as much money you want, or spend your time the way you want.
Instead, you’ll need to forgo immediate gratification and keep your eyes on the goal.
10. Remember to Calculate Risk Carefully
Unless you review all the potential pros and cons of your choices, you won’t be informed enough to make wise decisions.
Risks should be calculated carefully before you jump in. Behaving recklessly or impulsively can ruin your chances of success.
11. Remember to Monitor Your Progress
Monitor your progress so you’ll need to know how much closer you are getting to reaching your goal so you can make adjustments to your plan as needed.
12. Remember to Communicate Effectively
Successful people are able to communicate effectively with others.
13. Remember to Believe in Yourself
If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will either.
You’ll need to have confidence and courage to reach success because you’ll likely meet people who don’t believe in you along the way.
14. Remember to Embrace Change
Remain flexible – we live in a fast-paced world where things are constantly changing.
If you resist change, you might get left behind.
15. Remember to Ask for Help
Successful people aren’t afraid to ask others for help. .
