Maps are made by people who have been there. Map-makers are common in all walks of life. There are map-makers who have succeeded in business and write books to show others way. There are map-makers who have succeeded in human relationships who give seminars to help others avoid pitfalls that await unwary.

Before you begin to pursue your resolutions, find a map and follow it.

3. Reward Yourself For Succeeding Few people will work hard when they don't see a payoff at end, and with a lot of resolutions, payoff isn't as clear as it should be. For instance, losing weight is about a lot more than seeing a lower number on scale. Starting your own business is about a lot more than just getting away from a boss.

In all cases, you will succeed easier if you can see clear and definite rewards for your efforts. And when you're working for a larger goal, you sometimes need small rewards for each checkpoint along way.

To be effective, rewards must be something you truly want, such as a vacation, or a new outfit, or even a hot fudge sundae. Just keep your rewards in proportion to successes acheived, and you will be fine.

4. Get Help When You Need It Most of us need a little help along way to success. This help could be a mentor who knows what to do to reach goal, or it could be a tool that will amplify your efforts and give you an advantage.

Eventually, anger habit was broken, and a new habit took its place. Another thing that really helped with this was long periods of focusing on opposite of anger, happiness. Every day for about 6-8 weeks, I sat down to 2 or 3 sessions of 30-60 minutes each and did nothing but focus on love, happiness, harmony, and such. I knew that I had to get used to something other than anger, so I trained my mind and emotions to express something else. Guess what, it worked.

But what was even better, was that it did a lot more for me than simply giving me control over my anger. All of that time focusing on love, happiness, and harmony had directed Power to create some wonderful experiences in my life.

For first time ever, everything around me seemed to go right. Every person I talked to seemed like they enjoyed my company and wanted to help me in issues I was dealing with at time. I had created so much 'good luck' in process of focusing on happiness and love that I started wondering what was wrong.

And guess what that did? Yep, things started to go wrong again. But I quickly realized what was happening and started keeping my focus on what was right, and what I wanted to be right. I know now, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that my thoughts and feelings control my reality. And that any habit, even anger, can be conquered.

Now, every morning after I get out of bed, I spend about 20 minutes centering myself and finding joy and happiness within. People tell me that I have incredible patience. My response is usually, "What good would it do for me to get upset?"
