The movie called Patch Adams it the perfect example of a person who failed at the one thing he wanted to do most. After suffering from severe depression and hospitalization, his eyes were opened.

He realized that there were different types of psychiatric illnesses and that with the power of positive thinking, he could heal himself and others as well.

With a positive attitude he was able to help not only himself, but also the patients around him. Using these techniques also brought him the success he always wanted. He became an excellent doctor and changed the way the medical community treated its mentally ill patients.

In order to use self-improvement methods you have to sit down and take a good look at yourself. You need to understand, really understand that you are not a failure. Everyone has limitations, and being aware of that is strength, not a weakness.

The models and actors with perfect bodies that you see on television and movies are a result of strict exercise routines that often include starvation diets and hours upon hours at the gym. This is not what real life is all about. If you want to get in shape or improve your self, then sign up at a fitness center. Personal trainers are available to assist you with a routine that is right for you. Don’t try to become a size one because you see it on TV. See the beauty within yourself even if you are a size ten, everyone else does.

No matter how you are how down you are feeling about yourself, if you find someone who is in the same situation, try and cheer them up. You will not believe how good you will feel about yourself when you help others.

When you make mistakes it is important that you do not feel like you are stupid or a failure. Everyone makes mistakes, some bigger than others. What is important is that you take the experience as a learning experience.

If you feel that there are several areas in your life that need improvement, it is important that you take them one at a time. You have to be realistic, if you try to change too much at once, you are bound to fail and throw yourself back into depression.

In order for self-improvement techniques to work, you will need to be strong. Self-confidence and self-esteem are very important factors when you are trying to build a positive image.

You need to set goals for yourself. Be realistic; don’t set your goals so high that they are not attainable.

The old adage little things mean a lot holds true in everyday life. Letting someone at work know that they did a good job on a project, or a simple hi with a smile on your face can do a lot for the morale of your co-workers.

Take the time to appreciate all the things around you. Stop and smell the flowers once in awhile, you will be surprised at how the sweet fragrance cheers you up.

In order to be respected, you need to respect others. The world is full of people with different likes and dislikes, and different tastes. When you respect someone else’s rights, then it is more likely that you will be respected in return.

You don’t have to be a certified genius to think like one.

When you learn how to think like a genius, you’ll soon reap the kind of rewards that used to be exclusive for people ten times more creative and smarter than you.

Don’t allow yourself to be limited and restricted by traditions and conventions!

You should always tell yourself that you can do something that’s not expected. Although people who think out of the box are usually those with definite artistic talents, working in a regular office doesn’t mean you can’t let your creative juices flow. Just persist in proving your critics wrong and you’ll stay on the right track.

Geniuses aren’t all arrogant or conceited, but they do have a healthy dose of self-confidence. They know what they want, they know what they can do, and they know what they should do. They don’t let anything stop them from reaching their goals if they know they deserve it.

At the same time, geniuses are smart enough not to reach for the moon – figuratively speaking, that is.

All their goals are SMART – specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. Their goals may not be smart for others, but they definitely believe that it’s smart for them, and in most cases, that’s all that counts.

Many people wonder how geniuses were able to create or invent such wonderful products or services. The answer to this is simple: they have powerful visualization skills. They can picture in their minds what they wish to happen in the future. As time passes by, the picture becomes clearer and sharper until it becomes reality.

If you want to succeed in life, you need to think like a genius and that includes being able to see in your mind where you want to be in the future.

Reminding yourself about your goals, talents, skills, and abilities will strengthen your resolve in achieving your goals. Geniuses are smart enough to recognize the importance of motivation and inspiration and the role it plays in one’s life. If you wish to be as successful as most geniuses are, you need to remind yourself constantly that you deserve and are capable of obtaining such success.

Geniuses are rarely afraid to take risks because they know that taking risks is usually the only way for people to make new discoveries and take advantage of new opportunities. Of course, being willing to take risks doesn’t mean you should take all sorts of risks without thinking the matter completely.

Use both facts and intuition to analyze if the risk you’re about to take is sensible.

Lastly, it’s important that you don’t stop asking questions. Geniuses are the way they are because they’re eager to learn things all the time. If you want to find out the same things they know, you need to question incessantly about everything.

Learning how to think like a genius and making a conscious effort to do so at all times will not only give you the rewards you desire but also cause you to become one yourself in time. Nothing in this world is impossible and that’s something only geniuses understand and believe in!

One thing common among highly driven millionaires is their strong-held certainty that, despite challenges, they will attain success. They do not have a single drop of procrastination running through their veins.

They are motivated by their goals and dreams. They believe with all certainty that they will attain their objectives even though they are not sure of how the elements will work out.

Belief and confidence pushes you exert more effort to go for your goals, although you do not have a hundred percent assurance that success will be achieved. The subsequent actions you take will naturally improve your possibilities for success.

It is possible that you are one of the people afflicted with the procrastination habit. Procrastination is the tendency to put errands or duties aside until the last minute. It is a common and major obstruction in your "personal life" and career.

Procrastination will hurt your life and career because it will hold you back from doing important jobs resulting to missed opportunities.

New studies reveal successful men adopt these common formulas:

· determine what you desire

· establish a plan on how you can achieve it

· put that plan into action

· make modifications when required until such time you realize your goals

This formula is simple and easy to follow yet most people have trouble abiding by it because of procrastination, fear of reaching success, lacking follow through, lacking motivation, lacking belief, etc.

Here are tips on how to overcome procrastination in order to succeed:

1. Improve how you handle your time. Use your time efficiently and learn how to manage your time well.

For instance, you can invest in some type of scheduling service or software to assist you in organizing your tasks and time better.

Never give yourself any excuse to procrastinate. Make as much use of your time as possible.

For instance, you still have 10 minutes left before your office closes. Use this time to accomplish something that only will take few minutes like putting files or organizing them.

3. Create a conducive work environment. Some individuals can concentrate on their job even with chaos and noise around while others cannot. To realize your own highest performance, silence and privacy are required.

4. Prioritize specific jobs. List down the tasks you have been delaying from the most important to least, do the tasks one by one, then cross out tasks that you have completed and move on to the next.

5. Be realistic in all your expectations. One obstacle to success is when you aspire for the moon; and if you cannot reach it, you will only be disappointed and find yourself motionless.

Break huge tasks into manageable and smaller steps so you can create one successful move in each one. This is better than feeling the disappointment when you fail to accomplish one big task.

6. Never say "I cannot do it". Put away negative beliefs regarding your capabilities and yourself because this is one major reason why you procrastinate. Try doing it first, because you will never know until you try. If you do not believe in your capacity to accomplish a specific task, you are bound to procrastinate.

7. Never fear failure. For some individuals, one failure drags them down making them believe that it is impossible to succeed again.

For most successful people, they see their failures as indications that they can break new grounds. For them, failure is something positive where they can learn from their mistakes.

Keep in mind that success is never achieved accidentally. It is something systematic and a deliberate act of making a decision of what you desire to do and want to accomplish in your life.

How do you know if a person is willing to go for self-improvement?

This is a question with no definite answer. It will all depend on the individual.

Many people have goals, dreams, or ambitions but do not know how to go about achieving them. They may have thought about what would make up self-improvement and their ideal life, but have no idea how to begin to make a plan and take the actions required.

Some people have a vague idea on how to go about self-improvement. Some believe that if only they had a better job, or had been given better opportunities, or met the love of their life, or whatever else, everything would be fine and they would be happy.

They feel that their happiness or lack of it is dependent on external factors and their thoughts and actions are of little consequence.

Some believe that if only they had more money they could have whatever they want and be on their way to self-improvement.

They may have spent little time thinking about what they actually want from life. They may not really believe that they can do something to create their fuzzy version of utopia. That is, apart from buying more lottery tickets.

Other people do not even know what they actually want from their lives and may even have little idea what would really make them happy. They just drift from day to day, week to week, month to month, and year to year, and do little more just to get by.

They may have seemingly secure jobs and are earning enough to live relatively comfortable lives. They seem happy enough and have no great ambition to achieve anything more from their lives than they currently have.

Is self-improvement important?

The reality is that throughout our lives we are all constantly growing and developing. Circumstances make us grow and develop, even if we do not make the conscious decision to do so.

Up to a certain age, we learn through formal education and we continue to learn through our experiences for the rest of our lives. We have to learn and grow to deal with everything that life throws at us. We all have to go through self-improvement.

Modern life moves at a dramatically faster pace than at anytime in history. In modern society, there are more opportunities available to make our lives better than ever before.

But, there is also more competition than ever before. Ever changing technology means that there really are few, if any, ‘jobs for life’ anymore. It is now normal, not only to change jobs quite often throughout our working lives, but even to completely change careers and industries.

Because the workplace is so competitive, people who are ambitious and hungry for success know they need to learn new skills and knowledge to keep ahead of the pack. To attain this, we need self-improvement.

These are people who will be most likely to keep their jobs, or progress within their chosen field, or will be readily employable in different organizations or industries.

A commitment to self-improvement and personal growth may well be the deciding factor in how anyone’s future will turn out.

Happiness and success are two concepts intertwined with one another. These are two of the most important ingredients that would eventually define a person’s life.

If one would think about it, happiness and success are two things that are relative to a person’s point of view since these are dependent on one’s ideologies. Happiness and success relate to a target or reference point.

A person may say that he is happy because he just finished his studies or he just met a fine woman. A person may say he is successful because he was just promoted to a higher position. When one talks about happiness and success, a certain goal or perhaps an achievement is always the reference point.

A person will constantly ask himself if he is happy or if he can consider himself successful. Many people become depressed because they cannot seem to make sense of all the things that are happening in their lives. The most important thing to remember, when evaluating one’s happiness and success, is that people need to limit their assessment using their own personal standards.

Often times, depression comes about because people rely so much on the expectations of others. Have you heard college students who don’t do as well as they could because they don’t like the course which they are in? They say that they don’t really like the course because they were just forced by their parents or they had to take it for some other reason than because they liked it. Professionals also experience this kind of depression. Oftentimes, the workplace becomes a battleground wherein people live their lives according to the expectations of other people.

Again, happiness and success depend on one’s own views. Let us look at a musician’s point of view regarding happiness and success. A musician would love nothing more than to create music that comes from his soul. Depending on his ideologies regarding music, he can say that he is successful and happy with what he is doing.

A true musician wouldn’t care less if his records sold millions or not, as long as his music stays true to its original intentions when the records were made. A musician can also look at happiness and success in terms of the number of people who patronize his music, if he truly believes that music is nothing if no one hears and appreciates it. It really depends on one’s ideologies.

The only thing that we can infer from these two concepts is that these are mutually intertwined. One can say that success brings happiness and happiness is an essential ingredient towards success (i.e. Being happy with one’s work will bring beautiful fruits of labor).

Happiness and success are two things that all people aspire for in life. There can never be a single definition for both of these concepts. Even dictionaries wouldn’t dare give exact definitions for these words.

Perhaps, only the human heart can define these concepts. You will know when you are happy or when you can call yourself successful if your heart says so.

This is why the heart should always be consulted when making important decisions in life. Yes, of course, this is just a metaphor but we all know that the heart speaks reasons that the mind can never comprehend.

Goal setting is one technique that directs your subconscious and conscious decisions to succeed. Goal setting strengthens your motivation to attain your business or personal goals. In general, this technique emerged from numerous practical experiences as well as psychology research.

Goal setting helps you decide or prioritize your desires. By knowing exactly what you desire to accomplish, you will have a better focus and concentrate your efforts. Furthermore, proper setting of goals can be extremely motivating. As it becomes a habit, you will discover that your self-esteem is turbo-charged.

Actually, people set goals when they plan what they want to achieve for the day, week or month. These include simple goals like clean the house, do the laundry, finish homework, etc. You make a decision on what you want to do, then discover what is needed to accomplish your goal. From there, you move into complex goals leading to your future.

Here are some goal setting guidelines:

1. Be accurate. You need to set an accurate goal and indicate specific time frame and resources required. Having measurable goals helps in measuring levels of achievement. Doing this will enable you to discover exactly when the goal has been achieved. Furthermore, this will motivate you on setting another goal.

2. Write down your goals. This ties them together and provides reinforcement.

3. Set only goals that are realistic. Take note that you only want to set achievable goals. Disappointment sets in if you set a very high goal and fail to reach it.

4. Set priorities. If you have numerous goals, then you need to number them according to importance. This will help you from feeling overwhelmed, direct your concentration to the most significant ones, and achieve goals one by one.

5. Keep goals manageable. Work on achievable and small goals. If your goal is too big, then it may appear daunting and difficult to achieve. Small and incremental goals provide more reward opportunities. Derive smaller goals from huge ones.

6. Set performance-type goals rather than outcome goals. Set goals wherein you have complete control of the situation.

It is very frustrating to be in situations not within your control. These include bad business surroundings, bad weather, poor judgements, or injury.

When you establish goals based on your personal capability, you can maintain control over your achievement.

7. Never set "low" goals. As it is vital not to establish unrealistic goals, also never set your goals "too low".

People are inclined to set easy goals because they often fear failure. You must achieve balance in setting your goals. It should not be too low that it would not present a challenge or too high that it becomes unreachable.

Remember this: Goal setting is an important element in achieving success. Also, flexibility and persistence are needed in setting your goals.

When faced with unexpected problems and difficulties, use your determination and persistence to stick with your goals. However, you should also become flexible with your activities and objectives. If your strategies do not work, then try another means and keep on trying until you discover one that really works for you!

Simply, success is like a dish; many ingredients contributed to the taste. With success, intelligence is one of them but it is not the only one. And if intelligence is lacking, it can be developed. Resourcefulness and perseverance are the other components. More importantly, the love for work should be present.

Life Mapping: A Vision of Success

Success is more than economic gains, titles, and degrees. Planning for success is about mapping out all the aspects of your life. Similar to a map, you need to define the following details: origin, destination, vehicle, backpack, landmarks, and route.

Origin:  Who you are

A map has a starting point. Your origin is who you are right now. Most people when asked to introduce themselves would say, “Hi, I’m Jean and I am a 17-year old, senior highschool student.” It does not tell you about who Jean is; it only tells you her present preoccupation. To gain insights about yourself, you need to look closely at your beliefs, values, and principles aside from your economic, professional, cultural, and civil status. Moreover, you can also reflect on your experiences to give you insights on your good and not-so-good traits, skills, knowledge, strengths, and weaknesses. Upon introspection, Jean realized that she was highly motivated, generous, service-oriented, but impatient. Her inclination was in the biological-medical field. Furthermore, she believed that life must serve a purpose, and that wars were destructive to human dignity.

Destination: A vision of who you want to be

“Who do want to be?” this is your vision. Now it is important that you know yourself so that you would have a clearer idea of who you want to be; and the things you want to change whether they are attitudes, habits, or points of view. If you hardly know yourself, then your vision and targets for the future would also be unclear. Your destination should cover all the aspects of your being: the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Continuing Jean’s story, after she defined her beliefs, values, and principles in life, she decided that she wanted to have a life dedicated in serving her fellowmen.

Vehicle: Your Mission

A vehicle is the means by which you can reach your destination. It can be analogized to your mission or vocation in life. To a great extent, your mission would depend on what you know about yourself. Bases on Jean’s self-assessment, she decided that she was suited to become a doctor, and that she wanted to become one. Her chosen vocation was a medical doctor. Describing her vision-mission fully: it was to live a life dedicated to serving her fellowmen as a doctor in conflict-areas.

Travel Bag: Your knowledge, skills, and attitude

Food, drinks, medicines, and other travelling necessities are contained in a bag. Applying this concept to your life map, you also bring with you certain knowledge, skills, and attitudes. These determine your competence and help you in attaining your vision. Given such, there is a need for you to assess what knowledge, skills, and attitudes you have at present and what you need to gain along the way. This two-fold assessment will give you insights on your landmarks or measures of success. Jean realized that she needed to gain professional knowledge and skills on medicine so that she could become a doctor. She knew that she was a bit impatient with people so she realized that this was something she wanted to change.

Landmarks and Route: S.M.A.R.T. objectives

Landmarks confirm if you are on the right track while the route determines the travel time. Thus, in planning out your life, you also need to have landmarks and a route. These landmarks are your measures of success. These measures must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound. Thus you cannot set two major landmarks such as earning a master’s degree and a doctorate degree within a period of three years, since the minimum number of years to complete a master’s degree is two years. Going back to Jean as an example, she identified the following landmarks in her life map: completing a bachelor’s degree in biology by the age of 21; completing medicine by the age of 27; earning her specialization in infectious diseases by the age of 30; getting deployed in local public hospitals of their town by the age of 32; and serving as doctor in war-torn areas by the age of 35.

Anticipate Turns, Detours, and Potholes

The purpose of your life map is to minimize hasty and spur-of-the-moment decisions that can make you lose your way. But oftentimes our plans are modified along the way due to some inconveniences, delays, and other situations beyond our control. Like in any path, there are turns, detours, and potholes thus; we must anticipate them and adjust accordingly.

Despite your best intentions, you will never achieve the success
you are looking for if you never set goals for yourself and your
business.

Ask yourself, "What goals have I written down for myself and my
business?"

Most people never set goals for themselves or their business.
One day leads to another and the days continue to disappear
without success. How can you get to where you want to be if you
never know where you are going?

The biggest roadblock to goal setting is YOU. Setting goals
require you actually to write down your dreams and put a date of
accomplishment to them. Do not get in the habit of working your
business without goals. This leads to apathy and an empty
checking account.

Goals are the lifeblood of your business. Statistics have proven
over and over that small businesses fail within the first five
years. You do not want to become a statistic, you want to become
a success.

How do you become successful at setting goals?

The first step you should do is to write down your dreams. What
dreams do you have for your life and your business? Write them
down. When would you like to achieve these dreams? Put a date
of accomplishment to your dreams. Get a pad of paper and start
writing. Be bold and write them all down. Your dreams are now
your goals.

You now have goals with deadlines. Your first step is
accomplished.

Your goals will either be short term or long term. In order for
your goals to become a reality you will be required to take steps
that will ultimately lead to accomplishment. Look at your list.
What actions will you need to take to reach your goals? Write
those steps down on your pad of paper.

You now know what steps are required to achieve your goals.

Remember that steps are not huge, but small. Daily steps toward
your goals will bring you to the accomplishment of your goals.

Armed with your list of goals and the steps required to achieve
them, you can now start each day as a challenge to accomplish
those goals. But wait, there is something else you need to be
aware of.

"Where did my day go?"

Have you ever reached the end of the day exhausted and asked
yourself that question? You look at your goals and realize that
you did not accomplish one step toward them.

"Time Wasters" are everywhere. Time wasters have their own
agenda: to stop you from achieving your goals. Do not let them
win. To achieve your goals you must learn to recognize your
"time wasters".

Keep a log for every hour of your day for an entire month. Write
everything down that you do. It is easier if you break your day
up into fifteen-minute increments. Do this for one month and you
will be able to identify your "time wasters". Use the
information to learn how to better use your time. The better you
get at effectively using your time, the better you will become at
achieving your goals.

Success doesn't happen to the uninvolved. Success happens to
those who are persistent in reaching their goals. Review your
goals daily and modify them as needed.

You should never be without goals. Dream and make goals to reach
those dreams. Keep your goals before you. Continue to add goals
to you life. Your passion will keep you focused as you
accomplish each step toward your goals. Dare to be successful.

To your Success and Wealth,

Leon Edward

If you are going to be successful on the internet or any home
business as far as that is concerned, then, integrity must come
before your financial success. Many people are financially
successful on the internet, but some have forgotten the meaning
of true success.

As Jim Rohn (One of the all time favorite motivational speakers)
says, quite often, it is far more important of who you are
becoming, then, what you are earning. Jim even goes so far as to
say that you should work toward becoming a millionaire, not for
the money, but because of who you will become in achieving the
goal.

The stress is on becoming a better person. A person who has
integrity. Integrity is being able to be counted on, to be
depended upon, if you say that you are going to provide a service
or product for a certain amount of money, then you do it. You are
looking out for your customers, as well as yourself.

In most cases your reputation will precede you! You may think
that no one is discovering your flawed business manners, but
actually, the word is spreading and on the net, it spreads quite
rapidly.

One of the universal laws of success is that financial success
follows hard work with honesty. In other words, "help enough
people get what they want and you will find that you receive what
you want." However, if you are just looking out for you, you are
only hurting yourself in the long run. Wouldn't the internet be
so much better if we were all watching out for each other?

One important lesson I have learned when it comes to making a
sale is that people buy from those whom they trust. If they trust
you they will buy from you. If your integrity is guiding you as
you make your presentation to others it will come across to your
potential buyer. You are more likely to make that sell with your
integrity guiding you, then, any other aspect in your
presentation.

It does not matter how well you intellectually present your
service or product, if they detect flaws in your character you
might as well close up your brief case and go home.

Perhaps, even of a greater reward for being a man or women of
integrity is that you will sleep better at night just knowing you
did your best to sincerely help others achieve their dreams. What
can be more rewarding, then, to help others reach their goals?

If you have children, perhaps, that would be the ultimate reason
to permit integrity to lead you. Your children will have someone
that they can be proud of and more importantly someone whom they
can trust!

To your Success and Wealth,

You can choose success. Do you believe this? If you do not then
you have chosen (yes chosen) a different route and success will
not be a prominent feature! Success is about choosing what you
want in life and taking the necessary steps to achieve that goal.
Success is not stopping until you get there!

Read the last two sentences again. Easy to say but how do you
get there? What are the choices made by the successful? What
are they doing differently from everyone else?

Choose to remove whatever is holding you back. Has something
happened in the past to affect your self esteem? Do you
immediately have negative thoughts as soon as money and success
come to mind? If you are not choosing success then it is likely
that something is blocking your ability to change and follow a
new path. To remove the block you must have focus. To have
focus you must first have an all consuming dream of where you
want to be. Only when you have defined that dream can you start
to focus on it. Focus so intently that everything you do is done
with your dream in mind. Only then can you move toward that
dream.

Choose to live your success. Live your life as if you were
successful, as if you had already achieved the goal that you are
focusing on. When you are at work, visualize what your workplace
will be like when you have reached your goal, and place yourself
there. Sit at your desk as if you were running the multimillion
dollar business that you are focusing on. When you get into your
car, visualize what your dream car will be like and see yourself
sitting in it. Visualize yourself driving away from your dream
house. When you are in your home - look around it and see your
new surroundings. Get inside the feeling - really be there.

The more you do this, the more your subconscious will think that
you are successful and move you towards these things. Live your
success expecting to realize it. Living it now is a practice run
for when it comes to you. After all, you want to be prepared,
don't you?

Choose to believe in your success. What your conscious mind
believes, your subconscious strives to achieve. Look around at
your friends and acquaintances and ask yourself how many of them
have unshakable belief in where they are going. Are they
successful? Possibly not - they may be in a good job and have a
nice life but they do not have the success factor. Perhaps you
do know of someone with unshakable belief. They may not be
successful now but they will be moving in the right direction.
Watch that space....

Belief is the catalyst which takes the dream and turns the focus
into a plan to get there. Never underestimate the power of
belief.

Choose to be emotional about your success. Belief plus emotion
are unstoppable. If you have utter belief then you will develop
emotion. If you want something badly enough it is emotive.
Maybe it is to get out of debt. If you have suffered the
hardships of this situation you will feel everything to do with
debt and money is charged with emotion. This is the reason
behind so many 'rags to riches' stories. Sometimes only the most
devastating of emotional circumstances are the catalyst for
change and a move toward success instead of away from it.

You can choose success. Or you can choose to stay safe and do
what you do now. Guess what - you will still be doing the same
in ten years time. The question is - do you want to?

If you surveyed 50 people asking each their definition of
success, chances are you would receive fifty different answers.
Even so, there are certain steps everyone must follow in order to
be successful. One of the most important is - staying
motivated.

Do you have a new job? Have you started your own business? Are
you in the process of earning a degree? Do you have the desire
to lose weight? If one of these scenarios are a recent event in
your life, you are probably still excited about the opportunity.
That also probably means you are motivated, as well. Excitement
and motivation, often, work hand in hand.

But, how do you stay motivated after several weeks or months have
gone by? How do you maintain the same level of excitement that
you had when you began your new adventure?

There are many things you can do to stay motivated. It is
important to set aside a few minutes or more, each day, in an
effort to keep your motivation level at its highest. There will
be days that you may feel less motivated then usual. Let's face
it; we all have a bad day now and then. So, by doing all that
you can to maintain a positive attitude, your "down days" will
probably be few and far between.

Read a book. There are hundreds of books that have been written
on the topic of motivation. Visit your local bookstore or
library and browse the shelves. Ask the clerk or librarian for
author and title recommendations. Both will be happy to help
you.

If you have a busy schedule, don't despair. Set aside 15 or 20
minutes each day. Even if you only read a few pages, during that
time, it WILL help to keep you motivated. I do it and can attest
to the fact that it really DOES work!

If you are in the process of achieving a goal such as weight loss
or top salesperson, make a "dream board". A dream board is a
poster, of sorts. If a trimmer figure is your goal, cut out
pictures of the new wardrobe you will someday buy.

If you dream of out-selling your peers, find pictures of your
dream home or vacation destination... of the new car you would
LOVE to drive. Make a collage with these pictures and hand it
somewhere where you will see it each day.

There are many other things you can do to stay motivated.
Believe in yourself. Stay healthy. Maintain a positive
attitude.

You will be amazed at what you can achieve!
