So that was some stats related to Virat Kohli. Now tell us get back to our main topic.

Honestly saying, there’s a lot of difference between today's Virat and the Virat we saw few years back. Game has been a change but the biggest change in today's Virat is the mindset and mentality. He has a great mentality and today's youth could learn these mentality skills from him.These mentality skills are important not only in cricket but in every profession and we all should try to develop all these skills from him.

In today's article I have brought to you 5 life changing tips we all can learn from Virat Kohli and trust me if you implement all these tips in your life then you will for sure find a change in your life.

1. Never be just an average

Virat Kohli is of the opinion that our body works according to the things and words we feed in our mind which absolutely true. According to him, we should always feed our mind with positive things only. He says that we should always tell to our self that I'm the best in the world and I'm going to be successful in my life. He also says that we should always try to give our 120% in whatever work we are doing.

These words of Virat gives us the message that we should always be positive in our thoughts and should never feel demotivated at any cost.

If we feed our mind with good thoughts then for sure something great will happen with us. This kind of mindset can change our life completely and we can increase our focus with this mindset.

2. Responsibility

Usually we found people saying that they can't achieve their goals due to something or someone. They found other responsible for their failure but according to Virat only we are responsible for all the things that happens with us. He says that we should stop criticising others and should take responsibility of our actions.

These words of Virat are 101% correct because if we want success in our life then we should stop complaining about others and should stop holding others responsible for all the things which happen with us. Rather saying all this we should actually learn from our failure and try to improve again and again till we reach the goals we have visualised.

3. The hunger for more

We have seen Virat achieving a lot through his game. He has made so many records and is still breaking and making new records. He always says that he is never satisfied with the runs he scored. He wants to score as more as possible and this thinking of scoring more and more have actually helped him to achieve so much in the game.

He is of the opinion that “if we stop pushing our self out of our comfort zone, we can't become extraordinary in our life.”

This type of feeling and mindset always keep pushing us towards something great in our life. So, for sure we should develop this hunger of more and more in our life.

4. Laziness

We often became lazy while doing our work and mostly we procrastinate our work. It is truly said that “the habit of laziness kills our success.”

According to Virat, if we want to achieve our goals then we have to overcome the barrier of laziness. He is absolutely right in his saying because “if we procrastinate our work, we actually don't procrastinate the work but in reality we procrastinate our success.” So, if we want to overcome laziness and the habit of procrastination we should learn to implement our plans. Also we should keep us busy as much as possible so that this feeling of laziness never occurs in our mind.

This is a life changing tip from Virat and this is also one of the reason that persons like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Bill gates have achieved a lot in their lives. So aiming big is great but in order to achieve that aim we should focus on one thing and that is "Work, work and only work."

5. Fitness

For recharging our body we give our self food so that we could work for long time. Like our body our mind too need some fuel to work. This means that we need to develop both physical and mental fitness.

Virat Kohli believed that he had worked a lot on both physical and mental fitness which have helped him to achieve a lot in his life.

The answer to the question is given by Virat and he says that meditation is the way to reach mental fitness.

So, doing regular meditation of 10-20 minutes will not only help us to achieve mental fitness but also it will help us to find the ways to our success.
