13. Having a Victim Mentality
Only seeing yourself as a victim hinders personal growth and acts as a roadblock that prevents you from moving towards success. Instead of blaming others, you should think about what you can do to improve the situation.

14. Changing Other People
I learned this lesson the hard way. Irrespective of how hard you try to change someone, if they don’t want to change, all your efforts will go down the drain. Instead of trying to change the people around you, you should focus on your own shortcomings.

15. Expecting Too Much from Others
You need to understand that your expectations are the product of your own biases and personal experience, and as a result, they’re going to vary greatly from person to person.

16. Your Past Will Determine Your Future
If you label yourself as a failure based on your past, you will never be able to succeed in the future. Shrugging off that mentality is the first step to unlocking your full potential, and it’s a step you won’t regret taking.
