Avoid Doom and Gloom

The people you spend time with can either lift you up, or pull you down. They can have a positive or a negative influence on you and your life. A conversation will act as affirmations as they begin to feed you with their limiting thoughts and beliefs.

If you're not at a level of self-improvement where you don't allow others to influence you with their negative attitude, you are better off spending some time alone. This tip may take a little longer to show results, but it is well worth the effort!

From this moment, start reducing the amount of time you're exposed to negativity. If this means not watching the evening news for a while or avoiding the negative people in your life, it is important that you practice keeping your mind on the positive outcomes that you expect. If you have to scan the headlines on TV or the news website once a day and read only the things you feel you must know about, that’s fine. Just avoid getting a regular dose of negativity every day if you can. Over time, you will become more motivated because you won’t be so weighed down by the horrible things happening in the world today.

Your Goals MUST Be Yours Decide what you want to accomplish (in every area of life). Don't be concerned about what other...

Goal-Attainment Principle — Pay the Price

The price you have to pay for your success has to be paid in full and has to be paid in advance, so it is important to identify and pay the price. The problem is many people do not take time to identify the price they have to pay to achieve the goals they set for themselves. As a result they end up not getting what they want.  To solve this problem, first ensure that all your goals are written down on paper. By doing this it makes it easier for you to crystallize your thinking on paper. Then, take one goal at a time and identify the price you have to pay to get it. I’ve found that different goals have different prices we have to pay but generally we have to make sacrifices whether it is in the form of pleasure time, or learning new skills.  Sometimes the price we have to pay to reach our goals is to change— our thoughts, the negative voices in our minds, bad habits, and negative attitudes. Most people are unwilling to pay the immediate price of change; therefore, they...
