Quit wishing and start goal setting. Begin making it happen! Sooner or later you have to dig in, take stand, and fight for what you want. Willing to pay the price. Begin doing the things that it takes to succeed. Success comes to those who can turn what could be into what will be. The time to start is NOW!

Knowledge is power only if you do something with it. You must take consistent action and be a doer not a spectator. You can't expect things to get better, if you don't improve. In other words, you must make these changes within you before the things around you will begin to change. It takes a lot of effort to change your attitudes and habits, but it is worth it!

What is the bottom line? Find a cause and get charged up about improving as many phases of your life as you can! Give whatever you try a real chance and keep believing in yourself. Speed up the learning process by finding someone to emulate - someone who is already successful in the areas in which you want to succeed. Program your life for success, expect it! it will happen!

Be determined to be a leader, of yourself first. Resolve to take charge of your life. Lead it with actions, not words. Anyone can say anything. Leaders have the habit of doing more and talking less. Be positive as much of the time as you can. It's not easy, especially when you don't feel positive, but try. Work at it if you have to and watch it pay off in all areas of your life.

Enthusiasm is contagious! If you have it, share it! If you don't have it, catch it! Enthusiasm has the power to lift people and inspire them to greatness. Be a generator of enthusiasm and spread it around.

Are you asking yourself, "Where do I start?" The answer is with people. Everything comes down to people and how we treat them. Employ the three E's in your relationships: ethics, empathy and enthusiasm. Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Learn to stop worrying; first it doesn't solve problems, and secondly, it has been proven that most of the things people worry about have either already happened or won't happen at all. Emotional control may be something that doesn't come easy, but it is a skill that can be acquired, and can add years to your life.

Remember it is all a mindset. You choose your reactions. So choose a happy one, one without stress. Try taking the situation and comparing it to the size of the universe. The problem hasn't changed, the universe hasn't changed, but your way of looking at the problem has, and that's what is important. Your ability to act in a positive way determines how much self-induced stress you'll have to endure.

When you get upset, it usually means that you already had some anger built up inside of you. you may not be able to control all of the situation around you, but you can control your reactions. For many, controlling their reactions means controlling or alleviating the anger inside of them.

None of us were born smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, or eating junk food. It's true many people start out with good intentions, however many end up being programmed by those around them.

Learn to ask "Why not me?" and "Why not today?" What would you try if you were guaranteed success in advance and failure was no option? Why not try it? Why not today? Learn how to dream again. What a shame it is for those who don't.

Learn to make use of "down" time. Lastly, be where you are. IF you are somewhere physically, but not mentally, it's just like not being there at all. Remember, we all have 24 hours in a day to work with, and it is how intelligently that we use them that will determine our degree of success in life. Resolve to start making the most of this precious commodity today.

Draw up "must do" and "should do" lists daily with at least 3-5 items under each, and carry it with you. For those who find it difficult to fit this in, start by taking a 4 week period and don't do anything differently than you do now. However, start a diary, and for this period of time record everything you do hourly. From this you can determine where changes need to be made and implement them in your new schedule.

Learn to control time instead of letting it control us. Time is a resource that must be spent wisely. Realise that whatever you do better be important to you, because you are exchanging a part of your life for it. you must take control of time before you can take control of your life. If you're not investing it, you're wasting it. Focus on daily and weekly schedules and follow them. Plan your day.

7.) Goals need to have a definite time period. 8.) Write down your goals. 9.) Take action Remember to follow the proper steps. It has been said that most people don't plan t fail, they just fail to plan. A person without goals is a person without a game plan, and that person is doomed to drift through life like a ship without a rudder, directionless. Once your have your road map, take action and follow through.

1.) Goals must be envisioned. Get into the envisioning habit several times a day. 2.) Have a passionate desire to achieve your goals. 3.) Make your goals well-defied and measurable. 4.)Be flexible Be ready to re-adjust your goals and not give up on them. 5.) Your goals must be attainable. You must believe that you can reach them. You can achieve whatever you can believe. 6.)Set your own goals

Once we have our dream, proper goal setting will show us how to attain it. First, your goals should be in three groups: short (1-6 months), intermediate (1-3yr), and long (5 or more yrs)

"Energise" towards all of your long term goals by going for it in increments of 30, 60, 0r 90 days. Learn to be tough on yourself when you fall short, Be fair but be firm.

Going after what you want is a little like eating an elephant. You can't eat it in one bite, and achieving your lifelong goals cannot be achieved instantly either. However, you can do it one bite, or one step, at a time. The important thing is the realisation that while few can stay motivated for as long as it takes to win, most can stay motivated for 30, 60, or 90 days.

In a way it is like being in prison, but with a peculiar twist. They are the ones who have the key to unlock the door to freedom, but choose not to use it. In life, if you don't choose a direction, one will be chosen for your.

Most people today are afraid to get "out of step" and are scared to try something new. They don't realise that it is this type of attitude that is probably holding them back from something great. So the do the same things everyday and get deeper and deeper into a rut. This continues until they are so far down in this rut, that they can no longer see any options, only barriers ironically created by themselves.

Fortunately, our success does not always depend on us facing the best in our profession every time we compete. You can't win them all and fortunately, we don't have to in order to succeed. We just need to win our share. You can win your share merely by showing up, having a positive attitude, and expecting to be successful.

The bottom line is, everyone has fears. The difference is, the people who succeed are able to work through their fears to accomplish their goals. That is a definition of courage. Do what you fear most and fear will vanish. Never let your fears stop you from doing the things that you truly want to do.

The two things tat kill fear are knowledge and action. Knowledge can be viewed as preparation. First, learn to admit your fears to yourself and set about obtaining the knowledge to overcome them, then take action. "Could I do this?" I decided that I could do it, maybe not as well at first, but I could do it. Entertaining this though was helpful.

To be successful, you must get outside your comfort zone. If you are only doing what you're comfortable with, you're probably not growing in life. In order to grow, you must challenge yourself and extend beyond by doing the things that make you slightly uncomfortable.

Fear is misplaced conviction. We choose to let what other think, freeze us. The irony to this is that many of those from whom we seek this unspoken approval, are the same people we would not take advice from or want to emulate in the first place.
