Become
aware of what your true desires are.
“We all have different desires and needs, but if we don't
discover what we want from ourselves and what we stand for, we will live
passively and unfulfilled.” Bill Watterson
Focus more on your
desire than on your doubt, and the dream will take care of itself. You may be
surprised at how easily this happens. Your doubts are not as powerful as your desires, unless you make them so.
Get
excited about and determined to obtain those desires.
Seize the moment of excited
curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the
desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.
Your living is determined not so much by what life
brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens
to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
Develop
discipline in pursuing them step by step.
You don't develop courage by being happy in your
relationships everyday. You develop
it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.
Self-disciplined begins
with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don't control what you think, you
can't control what you do. Simply, self-discipline
enables you to think first and act afterward.” Napoleon Hill
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” Jim
Rohn
Upraise
your enthusiasm and optimism about each of your achievements along the way.
Show appreciation for any help you received.
How do you go from
where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have
a dream, a goal, and you have to be willing to work for it.
“Nothing great was ever
achieved without enthusiasm.” Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Be careful what you
water your dreams with. Water them with worry and fear and you will produce
weeds that choke the life from your dream. Water them with optimism and solutions and you will
cultivate success. Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an
opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your
dream.
“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be
done without hope and confidence.” Helen Keller
“As we express our
gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” John
Fitzgerald Kennedy
Chance can allow you
to accomplish a goal every once in a while, but consistent achievement happens only if you love
what you are doing.
“The achievement of your goal is assured
the moment you commit yourself to it.” Mack R. Douglas
See
challenges as opportunities and be open to the possibilities they present.
“Life's challenges are not supposed to
paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.” Bernice
Johnson Reagon
I do believe that
when we face challenges in life
that are far beyond our own power, it's an opportunity to build on our faith,
inner strength, and courage. I've learned that how we face challenges plays a big role in the
outcome of them.
Increase
your confidence by becoming knowledgeable in your field.
“Confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing
to be wrong.” Peter T. Mcintyre
Count your blessings.
Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the
smiles will return, the sun will break out, and you will finally be able to
move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage,
and confidence.
Focus
on becoming the successful person you’ve dreamed of becoming.
It's not what's
happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you
become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do
about them that will determine your ultimate destiny.
Goals are a means to
an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to
concentrate our focus and move
us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves
to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in
the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to
achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense
of fulfillment.
When you write down your
ideas you automatically focus
your full attention on them. Few if any of us can write one thought and think
another at the same time. Thus a pencil and paper make excellent concentration
tools.” Michael Leboeuf
Make a
list of what you need to do or do more of to spark yourself into action. Keep it
in front of you.
Lead yourself and Empower Others – Work Smarter, Not Just
Harder
“Every
time you teach someone else how to do something new and they follow your lead,
you free yourself from that activity and increase your productivity”
“When you
start devoting more of your prime time to your priorities, you’ll discover that
you won’t have time to do most of the time-filler things you used to do. A lot
of them were simply avoidance items – some of which others may do or, perhaps,
don’t need to be done at all.”
