[ptmwla...@yahoo.com]

Ever have those days where no matter what you try life seems to be a
series of one step forward and two steps back?
Well today is the very best day to take charge of your life and
develop strategies to achieve personal success. You will need to work
hard and make a commitment to your personal success plan, but once you
break the inertia you will find that small achievements will help you
gain momentum, and each step forward will attract more success.
1. Take a look at the one and only person responsible for your
success- YOU. To be successful you must take complete responsibility
for your actions. You can't pin your success or your shortcomings on
anyone else.
2. Develop and nurture a successful self- Start by smiling more, look
to the positive side in everything. Don't list all the reasons why
something is hard and you can't do it, find the reasons even if it is
only one to start with of why you can do something. You must develop a
successful persona to become a successful person.
3. Make the decision today- Decide today that you will be successful.
Praise yourself for past accomplishments, take stock of your strong
qualities and work to nurture and improve those that are
underdeveloped. You have a purpose and a mission you must sweep aside
the negative clutter and define this purpose and begin today to
fulfill yourself.
4. Always begin with the positive- every morning you wake up, every
time you speak with other people. Always stick with the positive.
Associate with positive people. People who have also made the
commitment to success. Avoid negative people at all costs. They will
not only drag you down. Their negative actions and thoughts, their
pessimism, whining, and complaining is a toxin and you need to steer
clear of it.
5. Visualize and write down how you desire to live successfully- think
of the things that are meaningful to you. Things that give you
pleasure, comfort, and fulfillment. Then being as specific as possible
write down how you want to live. Don't listen to any of the negative,
just concentrate. Write down every detail, where you live, what your
house is like down to the decor. What you and your friends are
passionate about, what kinds of community projects do you donate your
time and money to. After writing everything down copy the most vivid
and important things into a new journal. One you have chosen just for
this. Make the journal come to life with drawings, photographs,
magazine clippings, articles, and poetry. Images and words that will
help your vision of a successful life crystallize in your mind. Look
through this journal several times a week. Every day visualizing
living that life. Make all of your actions in accordance with that
successful life.
6. Define what success means to you- Concentrate on what you are best
at and what brings you satisfaction and fulfillment. Using your vision
of how you want to live, write down and then read out loud what
success means to you. Otherwise you won t know when you have achieved
it.
7. Study and make the commitment- Read books and magazines about
people who are successful in your eyes, and ways to become more
successful. Develop a daily methodical systematic approach to reaching
your goals and take one step towards your success.
Keep your mind in the moment don't let it wonder to negative
discourse. Focus your attention on your vision of success. With a
resolute attitude you are well on your way.
