A tip that I use:  Set your screensaver to scroll with the text
                  "Wake up and work on your dreams!"

Read "Dreams Into Action - Getting What You Want" by Milton Katselas.  Do each exercise in the book.  And remember:  Change is possible!

Make sure the people around you are positive and support you.  If someone is sabotaging you, handle them immediately and tell them what you need, and what they can say and not say.  Most people, if they love you, will be happy to know how to support you!   If they are not, honestly....why do you have them in your life?

Write down your goals for the next three months, six months, one year, five years,  and ten years.  The more specific the better.  Then make an overall Strategic Plan for every area of your life you want to change, the map that will get you to your goals.  You are literally going to war, so you must use clever ideas and specifics that will get you where you want to go.  From your Strategic plan, create daily Battle Plans -- your "to-do" list -- and go make it happen...one day at a time!   Sit down at the end of each week and review.  What is working, and what is not?  Where do you need to tweak things?  Take that knowledge and apply it as you attack the new week!  

Be the C.E.O. of your life!  

Do it now.  Every moment is a choice to go towards your goal or away from your goal.  

Never take "no" for an answer.  It just weeds out the people who can't cut it.  There is always a way, trust me.

Keep positive postulates and affirmations around you always!   Take every hint of negativity out of your life.  You can't afford it.  I keep fresh flowers around me always too.  It's important to love yourself!

If you can visualize it, it will come!  I surround myself with sayings and pictures that fire me up.  For instance, if you want a new car, find the exact picture of the car you want.  Go down to the dealership.  Sit in it.  Touch it.  Drive it.  Visualize that it is your car.  Crazily enough, actions like this have come true in my life over and over!

Celebrate your Wins!  It's vital to celebrate and mark each new victory, no matter how small.  Each is a step up the mountain.  If you don't "pee on your spot" as I call it, you don't fully own it.  You'll slide back down the mountain a little bit and have to climb part of it again.  Celebrations don't have to be expensive...here are some of mine I've used:   treating myself to a manicure, dinner out with a friend, a walk on the beach, a new photo frame, a special night at home with my daughter.  Buying a little something that is tangible, that I can actually see and touch, works great.  That way every time I see it I am reminded of my victory!  Surround yourself with your victories, darling!

Nobody wins all the time...but in the end, the one who gets up from the mat the most times, wins!  

Work harder than anybody else.  Remember, when you are not practicing, somewhere someone is practicing...and when you meet him, he will win.   

Enjoy the journey.  This is your life. Your Art. You are on your way to becoming the masterpiece you've always wanted to be.

If you have inspirations that work for you, please share them with us on the Dreamers Network message board.  Together we will make miracles happen for all of us!

 

 

 

 

"Twenty years from 
now, you will be more 
disappointed by the 
things you didn't do than
 by the ones you did.  
Sail away from the safe 
harbor.  Catch the wind 
in your sails.  
Explore. Dream. Discover!"

-- Mark Twain
