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.
