12 Signs That You’re Doing Better Than You Think

It’s not unusual for a person to think they’re doing worse than they are. Some of us are pessimistic. But, unfortunately, progress can also be hard to see sometimes unless you’re looking in the right places for it. 



If you feel like you’re working hard with little to show for it, you’re mistaken. So, you’re likely doing better than you think! 


Consider these positive signs: 


1. You learn the lesson that each mistake and failure provide. If you can learn something from every failure and mistake, it won’t take long before you’re successful. 


Most people repeat their errors, whether overspending or choosing a partner. This is because people have a strong tendency to repeat their behaviours. But you can choose to act as you did the last time you were in a similar situation! 


2. You’re clear on what you want, which can be half the battle. You have a massive advantage over the competition if you know what you want. Most people are floating through life. 


3. You spend your time, and good things happen. Misspend your time, and your life will be a train wreck. When deciding what you’re going to do next, ask yourself what the best use of your time would be. Then, do it. 


4. You’re making regular progress. Consistent progress is a great sign. Even if you feel like you’re lightyears from your goal, all you need is steady progress. Many people have been dieting for years and haven’t lost a single pound. Even a pound of weight loss each month is meaningful over time. 


5. You’re consistent in your efforts. Successful people put in some work daily. Success isn’t about working hard for a day here and there. Being consistent in your efforts also means sticking to your goals. Working for a week on one goal and then changing your mind and working on something else is a path to nowhere. 


6. You’re not alone. Some people are alone in the world. If you’re not alone, you’re doing better than many others. 


7. You’re optimistic. When you’re optimistic, there’s hope. When you’re optimistic, you’ll take action, but when your expectations are low, you become stuck because you believe your efforts will be a waste of time. 


8. You’re determined. Commitment is an excellent sign that you’re going places. Good things happen with commitment. 


9. You’re not worried about the opinions of others. If you care too much about what others think, you’ll prefer to play it safe, and you won’t do anything significant. You can leave them and their opinions in the dust behind you! 


10. You have a dry, warm place to sleep. If you’ve ever had to go without this, you know how nice this is. If you don’t have to deal with this situation, you’re doing better than you think. 

11. You have a job. A steady income is a great thing. Unfortunately, many people can’t find work or cannot maintain employment. Even if you’re earning less than you’d like, it’s better than making nothing. 


12. You’re healthy. If you’re healthy, you have a huge leg up on many people. So good health is a huge blessing. Our society is accessible in many ways and quite challenging in others. So, a high priority is placed on success, but other things are also important. Friends, a warm bed, and a job are relevant, too. 


You’re doing quite well if you’re clear on what you’re trying to accomplish and spend your time. This is true even if the results haven’t revealed themselves yet. Have faith!
