It may look as if you are still where you used to be, and you may have this feeling of stagnation, probably because the results are not coming as soon as you expected. You may not be there yet, but I can assure you that you are not where you were yesterday. Your daily commitment to your growth and progress is like taking steps — it doesn't look significant at first, however, if you hang on long enough, you will see how far you have come from where you started from. To appreciate how far you have come, you need to clearly define your goals and also try to recall where you used to be and what you used to do. You will notice that improvement if you have been committed to becoming better. Even if your efforts have not yielded tangible results, you need to know that every effort you make helps you to grow, and when you grow, your capacity to handle life gets improved. Be committed to taking these little steps and you will see yourself where you want to be. |
The easiest way to fail in life is to give and accept excuses. No matter how tenable and genuine your excuse is, it is still an excuse — and it will never make up for the real deal. Here are a few tips to win over your excuses: If you have goals that mean a lot to you, you will never settle for an excuse. You must set a target for yourself that will keep you on your toes and keep your destiny in your hands. You need to constantly see the result for which you are willing to pay the price — this is one of the best forms of motivation. Let there be a target that you have set and that will bring out the best in you. 2. Let the goal produce a plan Every realistic goal has the capacity to produce a well laid out plan. This plan is the blueprint for successful goal achievement. It is very easy to cook up a dream, it costs nothing. Produce a step by step strategy to get what you want. If you have a sound plan, the possibilities of excuses will reduce drastically. People who do not value the process of planning end up producing only one thing — excuses. |
As long as you keep telling yourself that you can't, then you can't. Your life is a consistent expression of what you have decided is your reality. If you are able to get rid of “can't” in your mind, you will be amazed at the possibilities that will stare at you in the face.

“Impossibility” is a relative term. It describes our perceptions about the valid proof of probability of an event happening. For a full and robust life, you need to believe that you can do things that are deemed to be impossible and achieve results that have never been achieved before. Henry Ford believed that horses were not the fastest thing possible, the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, believed that man could fly and Thomas Edison believed electricity could light up a bulb. These were all considered“impossible until they were executed by the right people.

Dreams form the energy that drives us to accomplish things and how far you are willing to go is determined by the size of your dream. You need to expand your scope and dream bigger. What is your biggest dream right now? How can you make it bigger? No matter how big your present dream is, trust us, it can always be made bigger. |
What separates a successful person from someone who’s given up on their life? Some may say it is the better financial situation, healthier bodies, and happier upbringings. If that was the case, how would you explain the incredible successes of people like Oprah Winfrey? Oprah was born into a poor family in Mississippi, but that didn't stop her from winning a scholarship to Tennessee State University and becoming the first African American TV correspondent in the state at the age of 19 and later establishing her famous “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” Or how about Richard Branson, who has dyslexia and has been performing poorly on all the standardized tests throughout his school years?

This will affect your behavior, which can inadvertently turn your catastrophic predictions into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Staying strong in the midst of hardship requires you to manage your thoughts, feelings and behavior. It's never easy,however, there are certain steps you can take to ensure you conquer whatever crisis you are going through. |
Most of us have dreams. It is even safe to say that all of us have dreams. You may want to quit the job you hate or finally get your health in check. Perhaps, you want to learn a new language or start your own business. In a perfect world you would be able to accomplish all these dreams, but in reality they are probably left to die somewhere in between your “to-do sometime in the future” and “I don’t have time for this now.” Why does this happen so often? Most of the time the reason is simple; we don’t want it nearly as strongly as we say we do. You may disagree and argue that you really want your dream to come true. If that’s so, then why aren’t you working on making it a reality?
