HOW TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING YOU WANT IN LIFE
Take
a look at yourself - inside and out. Where do you live, what job do you
have, 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 of
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; 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 paths 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 - then change your thinking. Put on the clothes of success. Act as
though you already have accomplished your desires. Then let the reality
catch up.
WHAT DO YOU
WANT?
Take
a choice: 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, 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 you need to follow.
Although
money is the obvious desire, it is usually not the final goal. 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 that
satisfaction of working from the inner circles.
The
goal of every person regardless of background and material desires, is
health. 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 you'll
need to accomplish success.
Adventure
and travel is a driving force 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 achieve 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 make 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. Think about the places you went to,
the relationships you encountered, 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
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 you towards your long-term goals?
GOAL SHEET
My most
important desires are:
In my
lifetime, the most important things I've accomplished:
If I looked
back on my lifetime in 20 years, I'd like to have accomplished:
Within 10
years, I'd like to achieve:
Within 5
years, I'd like to achieve:
In the next
six months to a year, these are the things I'm going to do to work towards by
goals:
Regardless
of your family commitments or your personal relationships; regardless of your
business enterprises or any false sense of achievement, what do you really
want?
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.
YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN YOUR LIFE.
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.
BEFORE THE RACE - RELAX
An
important step in achieving goals is to be able to relax. You'll get nowhere
is your body and mind are nervous and flitty, 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 amply throughout every part of your
body. You drift through space, ever towards your true destiny.
Exercise
or sports is 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 about. 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. 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.
The
moon is no problem, nor are the neighboring planets. Soon human beings will
see close-ups of other star and galaxies. Don't go for less that your full
potential. Shoot for the universe. You owe yourself nothing less.
And
aside from the universe, keep yourself on Earth, in your office or studio,
working closer to those goals you want to attain.
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?
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 c 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 a positive action. 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 thoughts 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.
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 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 to succeed in business. Most people who make
it to the executive boardroom put i 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 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 usually is someone
who believes in your ability, someone who you can develop a mutually
beneficial business relationship with.
Some
people become friendly with all their co-workers and find that 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 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 attaining your goals, but be open and sincere. Many people
choose not to increase their own accompliness. It surely is the ushments and
will give you the right-of-way to be successful.
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 attain. 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 money as a primary goal. And there certainly is nothing wrong
with desiring money. But first, be sure that your true goal is money. Can
you live, breathe, eat, and sleep money? Do you dream about money, and want
it more than anything?
For
true money-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. 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.
LEARN YOUR TRADE
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 the 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 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
dacing 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
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 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 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-if's.
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 AFFIRMATIONS
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 can review it and repeat it at least twice a
day.
It
is those people who convince themselves taht 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
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. 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 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, the condition of your body.
Then
think about the things you do. What sports do you play, what groups do you
belong to?
As
if you've already accomplished your desires, look bhack 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 odn'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 is 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 devotions and
then reap the rewards. You CAN accomplish anything you want in life.
