Why do some people
seem to get everything they want, while others struggle just to make ends meet?
The answer is simple: You were never taught how to get what you want; you
were never given the right information. You learned how to read and write, walk
and talk, but when it came to the most important tools of all, you were left
without the answers.
It isn't hard to
understand why this happens. Only a handful of individuals actually achieve
their dreams and goals, meaning only a handful know the answer everyone is
looking for. Ask yourself, "How many people do you know who have
everything they want? Are you truly happy and successful?"
If you're like most
people, you can probably count the number of people on one hand, while the
number of those who want more out of life would take quite a bit more.
Successful people,
those who enjoy an amazing quality of life and seem to attract the things they
want, are different from unsuccessful, unhappy people. They think differently,
act, and play by an entirely different set of rules from the rest.
They get what they
want because they know the daily motivational self-improvement secrets.
LET’S BEGIN!
HOW TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING YOU WANT IN LIFE - Take the first steps right here
Take a look at
yourself - inside and out. Where do you live, what job do you have, and how do you
relate to your friends and family? What interests do you pursue, what
adventures do you have?
What do you truly want
from life? Do you want wealth and success, happiness and peace of mind? Do you
want a family and a yard, a yacht, or a sports car? Where are you going? Do you
have a particular goal, or are you just wandering through life?
You can accomplish
anything you want in life - that's true. Once you have a particular goal, you
can fulfill that desire by straightforward commitment and total conviction.
But what if you don't
know what you want? Maybe your goals are small ones - like losing some weight,
or buying a new car. Maybe getting a promotion or finding a mate.
Whether you want a
bigger apartment or want to be a corporation president, any avenue of
prosperity and achievement is open to you if it is truly what you want.
No goal is too small
to need daily motivation; no dream is too big. And even if you aren't clear on
your desires, you can tap into your subconscious mind to get the answers and to
find the daily motivation for your path to success.
Can you change your
life? Do you want to? Can you picture yourself as your most perfect image of
accomplishment? How does it feel? If you have the desire to attain goals, the
commitment to follow through, and the ability to creatively imagine yourself in the
position you dream of, you are more than halfway there.
The most successful
leaders and artists throughout history have followed specific paths and
attained their hearts' desires. Keep an open mind and a hopeful outlook for
your daily motivation - then change your thinking to become truly positive
thinking for the powerful Law of Attraction to start. In your daily motivation
& visualize putting on the clothes of success. Act as though you have already accomplished your desires. Then let reality catch up.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
Take a choice for your
goal setting and your daily motivation: money, health, physical energy, beauty,
creativity, recognition, power, adventure, contentment, achievement,
self-expression, authority, love, peace of mind, enlightenment.
Would you like any of
these? If you are like most people today, you probably want ALL of these.
But if you search your
true desires, or the ESSENCE of what you actually want, you might find that
there are a few things you want more than others. And, if you keep going in
your search, you'll find one desire that has been with you your whole lifetime and
is the one path & daily motivation you need to follow.
Although money is the
obvious desire, it is usually not the final goal or enough for your daily
motivation. Indeed, money can, and does buy happiness - up to a point. Once you
have enough money to be financially secure or to purchase the material objects
you want, the true desire might be something else.
Love is the goal of every person's heart. Whether it is love of a mate, or a family, or respect and recognition from peers and fellow workers, love is the ageless pursuit. The mystics say that love is the sole purpose of life- to give love and to find it.
But love comes in many
forms. Not only is there the overt display of affection or true inner feelings,
but there is the self-respect and inner contentment that goes with
accomplishment. For some people, true peace of mind will never be attained
until they complete some creative tasks or achieve certain heights in business.
Many people seek the
authority that comes with a good position in a job. Along with that can come
recognition and fame. Although you may want the money that is associated with
high management levels, many people simply seek the satisfaction of working in the inner circles.
The goal of every
person, regardless of background and material desires, is good health &
well-being. A sound body is the gift that will get you to the other goals. Even
a new diet and exercise plan can give you more energy - the energy & daily
motivation you'll need to accomplish success.
Adventure and travel
are a driving force and daily motivation for many people. They may seek jobs
that involve travel, or they may be looking forward to taking time off to visit
the exotic ports and see the other side of the world.
If you don't want a
long journey, perhaps you'd just like a few weeks in a sunny resort or the
luxury of a summer and winter vacation each year.
And then there is
creativity and self-expression. What about the book you're going to write or
the watercolor class you'd like to take? Creative expression is a wonderful
inner release that boosts confidence and gives you something to accomplish.
Finally, regardless of
wealth and health, expression and love, everyone is looking for peace of mind.
That's not to say emptiness of mind, but to be rid of petty worries and
confusion, to be finished with fears, and live in total awareness. It surely is
the ultimate lifetime goal.
CATCH UP WITH
YOURSELF
Now's the time to
evaluate your life and your desires. Go ahead and test yourself - nobody's
looking. Try to find out what your inner desires really are. Once you know, you
can formulate a plan of action, and then create your daily motivation to
achieve all your goals.
Right now, write down three things you want. Don't spend time thinking about them - just write them down. You may be surprised at what you want. Can you see any relation to the types of desires most sought for?
What accomplishment
are you most proud of? What makes you happy - happy enough to be content, to
feel totally relaxed, and to slide back with a smile on your face.
Without dwelling on
failures, mistakes, or past ill feelings, quickly list the important
accomplishments or your life. Also, for your daily motivation, think about the
places you went to, the relationships you encountered, and the education you
received. Consider your job changes and positions, and the achievements related
to work.
Put a star next to the
most important accomplishments of your life. Is there any correlation with the
list of the three things you want most?
MAKE PLANS - your
personal daily motivation & goal-setting tips
Before you go any
further with your life, make a list for your future. Write it down - don't just
think it. What would you like to accomplish in the next ten years? A new house,
a high-paying position, a home in a new city, a trip around the world?
Break that list down
into those things you'd like to accomplish in the next five years. Then make
one further division into the next six months. What can you do in the next few
months to further yourself towards your long-term goals?

Give yourself credit
for your past accomplishments, and give yourself credit for your future
achievements. You can and will attain all your goals, both long-term and
short-term if you approach them in a step-by-step fashion and if you believe
that they are worthwhile for you.
DAILY MOTIVATION TIP:
Although you can be considerate of your environment and all the people in it,
first consider yourself. Your well-being, your happiness, your success.
Make a pact with
yourself right now that you will achieve your goals. And make them realistic to
reach.
Then one by one, make
your own life the success it deserves.
STRESS MANAGEMENT
TIPS - Learn how to RELAX
An important step in
achieving goals is to be able to relax. You'll get nowhere if your body and
mind are nervous and fidgety, jumping from one place or idea to another. In
order to focus on your goal, you must center your being.
Relaxation is the
balance of the mental, spiritual, and physical aspects of yourself. Set aside
time each day for deep relaxation - not sleep, but relaxation. The state of
deep relaxation is a state of meditation.
There are no thoughts
in your mind. There are no physical ills or discomforts. You breathe in deeply,
allowing the lungs to fill with fresh air, and you exhale all used and stale
air.
The blood circulates
abundantly throughout every part of your body. You drift through space, ever towards
your true destiny.
Exercise or sports are a good way to get into relaxation. The body needs physical stimulation to pump blood into all its extremities and to give the heart a good workout.
Exercise is a
wonderful way to let the mind relax, as you place your thoughts on the way your
body moves.
For many people,
sports and exercise are enjoyable ways to feel alive, youthful, and fulfilled.
Then take time to
relax. Lie down on your back with your arms out, palms up. Your feet should be
about two feet apart. You might clench your muscles first, then relax them.
Allow your thoughts to drift, but don't get caught in them. Watch them go by,
as if they belong to somebody else.
If you have a special
problem, tuck that in the back of your mind - don't dwell on it up front. Let
yourself and your emotions go. Breathe out the negative feelings and emotions;
breathe in positive, life-giving air.
Float freely. Relax.
ASSUME THE BEST RESULTS FOR YOURSELF. Expect to achieve; expect to accomplish
your desires; expect to win. Accept less, but push on to attain more. The
higher your goals, the further you'll go.
You have a right to be
happy. You have the means to be successful. You can succeed in what you desire.
Always keep in mind
the fact that you are in transit, attaining your goals, moving through life as
though you are an actor, and the setting is a stage.
Keep your thoughts
firmly planted on prosperity, good fortune, and lucky breaks. Assume that you
will, in fact, nearly have accomplished your goals. It is with that attitude
that successful people achieve.
Do you have the
potential to achieve your Goals?
Within you is the
power to accomplish anything you want. But it will not happen if you are not
tuned into your true desires. Don't fool yourself into compromising for less
than a complete goal.
If you want to be an
artist, you may not be the world's most famous artist, but if you have that
inclination, you will be an artist. If you want to succeed in business, you may
not be another financier/mega-millionaire, but you will succeed in your endeavors.
Most people need
accomplishment feedback. After all, what's so great about achieving something
if nobody cares? And it's important to receive that recognition and feel that
love.
Set goals that you can achieve. Divide them into little tidbits that you can accomplish every day, every month, every year. Set your goals for success.
Then reap the rewards
constantly - each step of the way. Pat yourself on the back for a job well
done, then move on. Start immediately to accomplish the goals you have set.
In fact, give yourself
a task that you can finish by tomorrow. Think of yourself as a success in your
endeavors. Dwell on the idea that you are compelled to accomplish your goals,
and live and breathe them until you have them.
Can you see yourself a
year from now, having achieved a few goals? Can you make the decision and
commitment to become successful in your desires? Then you have the potential to
accomplish anything you want.
THE POWER OF
SELF-IMAGE
Visualizing yourself
as a success in your field of endeavor is the inside tip in accomplishing
anything you want. If you can specifically imagine being the person you want to
become, you will attain that reality.
Forgive yourself. Just
as you would another person, tell yourself that it's okay for all those
mistakes, or the should-haves that keep popping up in your mind. Don't dwell on
the past and get blocked by events from long ago.
Let go of fears and
anxieties. Although it certainly is easier said than done, learn to change
negative thoughts into positive actions. Are you afraid of poverty - that
you'll never make ends meet, or never buy that house, or be destitute once you
stop working? Then turn that into the positive goal of financial security.
Do people make you anxious? Maybe you feel inferior, not as good as others. Everybody has feelings of inadequacy. Just turn them around into positive goals. You may be paralyzed by the thought that you are unattractive. It is your thoughts that make it a reality.
Change your modes of
behavior, and you will make friends. In most cases, it is your own negative
thoughts that cause you to stay stuck in whatever place you're in. Keep moving.
Take the risks. You may need to change your job or move to another city.
You might take up a
sport or hobby. Become active in your life - participate. And you will grow
into the image you see for yourself.
DAILY MOTIVATION
TIPS FOR SUCCESS IN BUSINESS
Perhaps the most
sought-after goal in our present society is success in business. Whether you
want to be promoted into high-paying management positions or wish to start
your own independent enterprise, knowledge of the business world is important.
As you plan a daily
motivation course of action towards accomplishing your goal, keep in mind the
small goals that put you closer to the end. And be prepared to change often.
You may need to change companies or take the opportunities in other departments
as those positions open.
Create an aura of
success around you. People who are successful dress that way. Even if you're
not in a high-income bracket, act as though you have already achieved - without
being egotistical or overspending.
Develop an expertise
in an area. Don't keep special information to yourself, but be quick to learn
all there is about your position and the tasks surrounding getting that job
done. Capitalize on your strengths, and let others help you develop your weaknesses
into assets.
Get to know the people in the company and the people in the industry. Read all the trade journals and magazines relating to your company. Make appointments with people who are successful in your field and learn from them.
You need to have a
total commitment and daily motivation to succeed in business. Most people who
make it to the executive boardroom put in long hours, often at the sacrifice of
everything else. Regardless of the physical effort involved, you must mentally
be engrossed in your business and the company's enterprises.
In order to help
yourself develop fully, you might seek a mentor, someone who will offer you
time and teach you the ropes. This person is usually someone who believes in
your ability, someone with whom you can develop a mutually beneficial business
relationship.
Some people become
friendly with all their co-workers and find that it is a way to advance. But don't
try to be extroverted if it's not real to you. Most people who successfully run
their own businesses are individuals who like to work alone.
As you increase your
activities and accomplishments, you increase your potential to reach higher.
The more you achieve, the more confidence & daily motivation you develop to
achieve more. You don't have to be the same as everyone else and fit like a vegetable
in a patch.
Be unique, different.
Capitalize on your own self-image. Don't fall victim to self-consciousness. And
trust your intuition. Hunches and inner feelings usually are the best route to
travel, regardless of what seems to be the logical choice.
Make decisions quickly
and with firmness. A true leader will handle these responsibilities
efficiently. That's what makes you different and why you'll rise to the top. Be
persistent in your daily motivation to attaining your goals, but be open and
sincere.
If you are having
personal difficulties with any co-workers, try to know more about these people
from a personal angle. Be interested in them and their accomplishments and
goals. You might be able to turn opposition into friendship.
Above all, use your
integrity. If the goal is not worthy of your inner desires, it will be hard to
maintain daily motivation about or to achieve. If your methods are not sincere,
you will receive opposition. If your actions are not honest, you will suffer
the consequences. Turn all negative qualities into positive aspects - then
watch yourself achieve.
TIPS ON ATTAINING
WEALTH
Many people want
WEALTH as a primary goal.
For true wealth-seekers, you must be your own boss. The great money-makers all started and ran their own businesses. And, even though it seems as though all the good ideas have already been taken, there are plenty out there.
The secret of the
wealthiest people is to find a special need and fill it. Like quick-food
chains, like supermarkets, like electronic games, or internet businesses
like site building.
Whether you invent a
new toy or gadget, or see a spot to market special items in a new way, the
world is open to true entrepreneurs. And they do make it.
Almost any goal you
choose - whether riches and material abundance or spiritual attainment -
requires learning. How much education do you have? Do you want more? Perhaps
your goal is to get another degree or to secure a special license.
There are countless
opportunities to learn more about your own industry or to learn about a new
skill. Not only do you have the colleges and universities, but there are many
trade schools, correspondence schools, and special groups that teach skills at very reasonable prices.
KEEP THE END IN
MIND
What do you need to
know to get to where you want to be? You may not need a degree, but the actual
experience. So you'd need to change jobs or accept a part-time job at night to
develop your skills.
More than ever, people
are leaving their present occupations to learn a new trade and then starting at
the bottom again to be happy in their work. Maybe you'll need to put in extra
hours at work now so that you can save money to take the time off next year.
Even though most entry-level positions are offered to younger people, you can find many companies
willing to give you a chance to change your occupation. Many times, you might
find an older master willing to apprentice you to learn the skill or trade.
Once you're enrolled
to learn new skills, put everything towards learning. Apply yourself one
hundred percent. Take advantage of asking questions and getting criticism from
teachers and fellow students. Read everything you can study well. It is your
daily motivation & developing expertise that will get you ahead and closer
to your goal.
It's always a good
time to learn more. Even if you are happy in your job, expanding yourself
through education is a very rewarding activity. Take dancing or tennis, gourmet
cooking, or sculpture. Any activity is taught and shared by many enthusiasts.
STOP WASTING TIME
Consider the most
important things you need to accomplish. These are high priorities. Then think
about those things that seem to take up a lot of time and get you nowhere.
Those are the low priorities.
Understand what's
important to achieve and do those things first. Let go of all the busywork for
paperwork that piles up. It's better for you to stack those low priorities
somewhere else and finish the important material than to spend time clearing
your desk to get down to the essential things.
You'll be noticed more quickly for the big things you achieve than for keeping paper flowing. Don't let co-workers waste your time with chitchat if you've got things to accomplish. Save that for lunch hours or for after work social activities.
Handle paper once;
decide the action and finish with it. Keep interruptions to a minimum and
delegate responsibilities.
Although you'd like to
believe you're indispensable to the job and you are the only one to take care
of many things, you can teach someone else and move on to your own goal
achievements.
DON'T
PROCRASTINATE.
What are you waiting
for? Few opportunities are thrown at you; you have to create the right
positions and situations to move up. Make lists of things you want to
accomplish and do them.
If you're busy in an
office situation, make daily lists and reward yourself with praise upon
completion. Catch yourself achieving.
Concentrate on what
you're doing and do one thing at a time. But do it quickly and handle the next
thing. Be efficient in telephone calls, maybe taking them at appointed times or
calling back at your convenience.
Don't generate copies
or correspondence that make you look like you are doing things. Your superiors
will know what you accomplish. Be busy doing important things rather than
writing about what you've done.
And have daily
motivation to take the time for physical exercise. It will energize you - not
take away from your effectiveness. It relaxes your mind and stimulates your
capacity to achieve.
LOOK WITHIN
An inner core of all
accomplishment is the positive energy from the subconscious. If your
subconscious mind has tapped into your goal and believes it is good for you,
your energies will direct themselves towards that goal.
You can consciously
create circumstances and conditions of the environment and physical presence. But
it is that level behind the outwardly physical that directs your true being.
When the subconscious mind accepts an idea, the inner power will complete it.
That's why you can
accomplish anything you want - by creating all outward manifestations to
trigger your subconscious into action. As you decide on your goals and write
them down, repeat them twice a day out loud. This in essence, brings it to the
inner level.
When you think about
your goals and desires, the subconscious hears it. So direct your energies -
both outer and inner - to your goal with one-pointed devotion. In that way, you
can control your daily motivation toward achieving your destiny.
In order to connect to
your inner self, relax - let your thoughts go. Feel that part within you that
actually makes the decisions - the reflexes, the instincts, the intuition, and
hunches. Let your mind be quiet from its usual chatter.
Some people present
problems to their inner consciousness by asking themselves a question before
they fall asleep. Often, the answer is in their minds when they wake up.
Clarity rids
confusion. If you find you're filled with worries and anxieties, spend the time
to think them through. Approach them logically, considering the consequences of
all possible actions. When you've made a decision, follow through and don't
agonize over what-ifs.
Everybody has creative
potential. And you don't have to be an artist to be creative. Each moment of
the day is creating your own self, becoming your true inner person.
Let yourself look
within. Release the handicaps of fear and anxiety - even for a moment. You'll
be relaxed and refreshed.
Use Daily
Motivation Affirmations & Inspirational Quotes
The same technique has
been used by great inventors, financiers, business people, political figures, and enlightened beings: constant repetition of the goal and the belief that you
can attain it.
Never dwell on
self-criticism or what you think are your inadequacies. Instead, repeat your
goals and the qualities that will make you successful.
Write out your
outstanding goal. In a few words, describe what you want to attain. Then write
what you will do to achieve that. What energies and efforts will you trade for
that success?
Give yourself a
specific date to accomplish this goal, and specific times to carry out the
interim steps. Put this paper or note card in a visible place - such as taped
to the mirrors - so you have daily motivation to review it and repeat it at
least twice a day.
It is those people who
convince themselves that they are failures. And successful people believe that
they will rise to the top and will achieve their goals. Believe in yourself.
You are everything worth believing in.
CREATIVE
VISUALIZATION HELPS DAILY MOTIVATION TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS
Form the habit of
accomplishment. With every step you take and every decision you make, bring
yourself closer to your goals. Walk through your life with this sense of
direction and they will come to you.
Develop self-confidence and esteem. Assert yourself and acquire all the excellent qualities and traits you admire most. This website is filled with valuable and straightforward, simple-to-do, online strategies for improving your self-confidence & self-esteem.
What is your ultimate
goal? How to you see yourself? Be specific. Precisely specific.
Visualize the place
you live in - the rooms, the paintings on the walls, the furniture, and the swimming
pool. Consider the family situation and financial stability. Think about the
place you'll be living in.
Then look at yourself.
What clothes are you wearing, and what do you look like? Consider your physique,
your hair, and the condition of your body.
Then think about the
things you do. What sports do you play, and what groups do you belong to?
As if you've already
accomplished your desires, look back and see what you did to get to where you
are. Think about the classes you took, the jobs you worked at, and the places
you moved to. Think about the places you've traveled to and the friends you've
made.
Be comfortable with
your new self-image. Put it on for size and change your fantasy to adjust
perfectly to you. Why don't you live as though you're already there? What's
stopping you from becoming the person you are totally capable of becoming?
BECOME YOUR FULL
POTENTIAL
Keep your goals and
ambitions to yourself - don't share them with anyone, not yet. Write them down
and refer to them. Look back at what you wrote in a month, then in a few
months. Work on them constantly, and don't be afraid to revise and rewrite.
Goals are always changing.
Think in
possibilities. What is possible for you to achieve in the next six months? And
go for it. Don't play it safe with what you’ll probably achieve anyway. Push
yourself to go further. The rewards are greater.
Feel the winning
feeling. Feel successful already. Try on the clothes of total accomplishment
and peace of mind. Live each day as though you have already reached your goals.
There are always new ones to place in front of yourself.
Don't announce your
goals. This will set you up for failure. Even if you make a pact with yourself
to attain a specific goal, don't chastise yourself if you don't make it. It may
have been unrealistic, or you may not have tried hard enough.
Do it yourself. There
is nobody better to help you achieve your desires than you. Tap into the power
of the subconscious and practice being your own fantasy.
Then go ahead.
Act on your
convictions.
Follow them through
with devotion and commitment, then reap the rewards.
