Five traits that define successful people
When we see other people get to what they have been, we often ask ourselves the following: "How will they have achieved so much success in life? Has it been good luck or do you really deserve to be where you are? ".
Although irremediably in life fortune smiles at us many times in the most appropriate time and place, there are also certain aspects in our day to day that can help us to be a little more successful. Would you like to know what they are? Well, through the next article we tell you. 
How are successful people?
1. They are highly assertive people
Assertiveness is a social skill that not everyone has. It is characterized by defending the rights and opinions of each without having to use bad words and always respecting the opinion of others. And what does this have to do with being successful?
Well the truth is that much. By taking each point of view as valid, successful people take constructive criticism very seriously (who they are), something that can greatly help them improve in any area of their life.
2. Always set goals
Successful people are also very likely to put on all kinds of goals, no matter how big or small they may be. You can even put one of easy execution to carry out during the day. And once they complete it, this will suppose a great "chute" of self-esteem for themselves since they have managed to do something that they had really proposed.
For this reason, from here we invite you to set your goals during the day to day. Start with something simple such as go for a run for 10 or 20 minutes if you want to be in shape, and later on, put on other more difficult ones that require a little effort on your part. Surely in the long run you will see the results.
3. Empathize a lot with others
In the first place, it must be said that sympathy should not be confused with empathy. The first one is simply to be nice to others without really knowing how the other party is feeling. However, empathy is the ability to put yourself in the other person's place with the goal of understanding them and eventually making them feel better.
This is also a trait that defines successful people very well. They care truly for each other since their well-being also depends on how their friends, relatives or closer beings feel in general.
4. They handle non-verbal communication very well
This goes a little in correlation to the previous point. Since successful people are highly empathetic, they know how to actively listen at all times. For this, when someone is telling them a problem or need their help, they always look them in the eye, do not answer with monosyllables and go to physical contact (like grabbing a shoulder or hugging) if the situation requires it.
Remember that successful people always seek the welfare of the other and will be willing to do whatever it takes for the person in front of them to gain self-esteem and confidence, something we will discuss more extensively in the next point. 
5. They have self-esteem and confidence
To conclude, all these points that we have talked about throughout this article are going to get that before or after we gain in self-esteem and confidence, two adjectives that summarize well a successful person.
And, it would be impossible to carry out any goal or personal challenge without having a little confidence in ourselves. And if we do not have it, sooner or later our self-esteem may be affected. Have you noticed the importance of both to achieve success in our lives?
And the best part is that anyone can get it. With just a little patience and effort on your part, surely the successes in your life will come sooner or later. So do not give up as life will smile sooner or later if you really look for it. This article is published for informational purposes only.
