Photo by d u y g uI have goals and dreams that matter to me. I see these as important, and I work toward them each day.

Goals and dreams are important and attainable. Nothing is too difficult for me, because I believe in myself. My dreams are coming true, and my goals are being reached. I know I have what it takes to see continued success.

Each day I move closer to the dreams that are in my heart. I visualize what I want in my life, and then I go get it. Because I have goals and dreams, I have plans for the present and the future. I have hope because I have dreams. I meet my goals and encourage others to do the same.

I enjoy making plans, setting goals, and following my dreams. I move forward with my life quickly and confidently.

I am brave, strong, and powerful. Each day I work on improving myself and improving the lives of others. People like me and want to emulate my work ethic and planning abilities. I am proud of what I can accomplish.

I know I am able to see my dreams come to pass. I am able to reach every goal I set for myself. I focus only on goals that are really important to me. I avoid worrying about what others are doing or what they think of me. What I think and do is all that matters when it comes to reaching my goals and seeing my dreams come true.

Today, I take action to accomplish my goals and bring my dreams to reality.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What can I do to move closer to a goal?
2. How can I set realistic goals for my future?
3. What can I do to pursue my dreams?

Focusing on my goal results in success.

blogadmin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:19:17 +0000

Photo by tozofoto(very very slow)I am successful because I have the ability to focus on my goals. I am more than capable of concentrating solely on the task at hand. I can ignore nuisances that distract me from my work with ease.

There are many distractions on the road to my goal, but I overcome every single one of them by keeping my eyes on my prize. With the end result in mind, I train my mind to resist distractions. My determination makes it easy for me to stay focused.

I have authority over my thoughts. My mind goes only where I lead it. If I ever begin to consume myself with insignificant details, I think about why I do what I do. Thinking of the ‘why’ makes the ‘how’ easier to overcome.

There is nothing worth more to me than the sweet taste of victory; therefore, nothing can get in the way of my success. I prioritize my time wisely, because even those things that seem worthy of my attention can become distractions.

When the road gets tough, I am able to endure it by envisioning myself accomplishing my dreams. The end of the road is worth the sacrifice of the journey. I press on with courage knowing anything worth having has a price.

Today, I fix my lens to zoom in on what is most important. By staying the course with steadfast determination, I achieve success.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How easily do I become distracted?
2. How can I improve my focus?
3. What goals do I work for?

Let Your Confidence Shine to Reach Your Goals with Ease

blogadmin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 15:30:08 +0000

Photo by h.koppdelaneyWhen you’re trying to reach your goals, the most important element that determines whether you succeed or fail is your self-confidence.

Every worthwhile goal features hurdles and challenges along the way. Self-confidence is the tool that keeps you going in the right direction when the challenges come. Self-assurance helps you climb the mountains and jump the hurdles that stand in the way of the success you deserve.

Use these strategies to build the confidence to go after your dreams and encounter success:

Keep a record. Begin to keep a record of your successes, no matter how small. Write them in a notebook or journal. In the beginning, remember your successes of the past and write those down too. Whenever you begin to doubt yourself, look at your notebook and remind yourself of the times you’ve succeeded in the past.
- In another notebook or section, write down your strengths. If you can’t think of any, think about compliments you’ve received from others. As you go through each day, take note of your successes and strengths. Keep a record of your accomplishments that will fuel your success for the rest of your life.
Start with small goals. If you have trouble recalling your successes or noticing your strengths, set a few small goals that are fairly easy to attain. The point is to achieve success and to allow that success to fuel you for greater challenges and greater victories in your life.
- When you achieve the small goals you’ve set for yourself, write them down in your notebook. As your confidence grows, your heart will long to shoot for bigger goals and greater challenges. Your record of success will keep you pushing forward when doubts begin to creep in.
Act as if you’re successful. A funny thing happens when you pretend you feel a certain emotion… you actually began to feel that emotion!
- Try it right now. Slouch your shoulders, lean forward, and put a frown on as if you’re absolutely exhausted. How do you feel? A little tired?
- Now smile and begin to move your body like you do when you’re excited. Feel the difference? To a large extent, you can control how you feel by the way you move your body. Pretend you’re confident. Talk with confidence and move your body with confidence. The feelings will follow shortly.
Visualize your future. Where do you see yourself in five years? Ten years? What kind of job do you have? Do you own your own business? What is your ideal scenario regarding relationships? How much money do you make?
- Every day, close your eyes and take a few moments to run a mental movie about the future you’ve always dreamed about. Watch your success play out as if it’s happening in the present and allow yourself to experience all of the senses. What does the scene look like? Smell like? Taste like? Feel like? Sound like?
- Make your mental movie as vivid and detailed as possible for maximum effect. If you do this every day, your mind will begin to move you in the direction of your ideal future. You’ll begin to take actions that support your success and lead you down the path of your dreams.

Your confidence will grow naturally with each success you experience, whether the success is in the real world or in your mind. Instead of constantly reliving the mistakes you’ve made in the past, relive the glorious future you deserve time and time again to grow your confidence and coach yourself toward its attainment.

My goals drive me toward new heights of success.

blogadmin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:43:01 +0000

Photo by SunilkkEvery time I achieve a goal, I get closer to my dreams. My goals are realistic, and I enjoy meeting them easily. They make me happy and help fulfill my life, both personally and professionally.

I reach new heights of success because I set goals that take me there. When I create detailed and achievable goals, I succeed much more easily. Achieving my goals brings joy into my life and allows me to relax and enjoy my free time.

Setting goals is important to me. I consistently plan new objectives when I meet my old ones. By working smartly, I get a lot done and find that I can move forward faster than I thought possible. I am proud of my goal setting abilities and my success.

Every day, I take action to move toward my goals. My goals help keep me focused on what I really want to do with my life. My life goals are broken down into smaller steps for each day.

I know success is in my future because I meet my daily goals. I move forward all the time. Each goal I achieve brings me closer to the life of my dreams. As I succeed, my confidence soars and I move comfortably into a joyful, happy future.

Today, I intend to plan detailed goals that I can incorporate into my daily routine, knowing that this action will bring me closer to the life I desire.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. What actions can I take to better meet my goals?
2. What goals am I willing to work for each and every day?
3. Have I created detailed and achievable goals to set myself up for success?

How Small Achievements Lead to Big Success

blogadmin — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 15:20:56 +0000

People dream big all the time. But it’s the people that take action to reach their goals that truly succeed in life. It’s a huge task to take on, but when you break down your journey into simple steps, anything is achievable. Decide on your goal and follow through, it really can be as simple as that.

The Big Picture

It truly doesn’t matter what your goal is, you can achieve it by combining the will to succeed with action. There are many possible excuses and many people that will try to bring you down, it’s just the way life. While these things may not change, your attitude can.

The first thing you need to do is create a personal definition of success. What are you trying to do? What is your ultimate goal?

Remember, the answer can be anything your heart desires. Maybe you want to start a video game development business, or maybe you want to be an Olympic swimmer. Everyone is different, but it’s important to have a well-defined goal. Don’t be afraid to be specific and to list a goal even if you’re lacking the confidence to achieve it.

The Process

After you have your definition of success, it’s time to break it down and make it happen. Success will happen just by completing one small task at a time from your plan.

Let’s say your ultimate goal is to own a video game development business. You currently work at a dead end job and you have little revenue to use towards your goal, so you assume it’ll never happen and you just go about your day. But what if you took just 20 minutes each day and worked toward your goal?

Here are some of the things you might accomplish:

You can research how much money it would take to start up your business.
You can learn the ins and outs of the industry by reviewing different courses and training programs.
You can make appointment to meet with banks or companies as potential investors.
You can contact independent game developers that may be willing to take on extra work at a reasonable cost.
You can research and formulate marketing tactics.
You can create a 5-year plan.

While the business entails a great deal more than these 6 steps, you get the idea of what it means to break down a huge task into smaller parts. If you don’t break it down, it’ll seem too overwhelming and you won’t even know where to start – so you won’t get started at all!

But when you decide to spend a little time on a small project, like researching marketing tactics and saving some web links, that’s definitely something you can accomplish in an afternoon. And it brings you one step closer to your goal.

Something Is Always Better Than Nothing

You now know that some action is always better than no action towards your goal. It may sound trite, but you’ll never get there if you don’t try. Just think of how far along you might be if you spend 20 minutes a day on your goal for a whole year. That’s a great deal of small, manageable projects!

You owe it to yourself to make your dreams come true, so go get started!
