- You no longer feel in control of your destiny and in fact you are a victim of circumstance

- You earn far less than people of lesser intelligence and ability

- You worry about future because you fear you may not be able to deal with things

Now is time to take charge of this situation. I can tell you from my own experience that nothing will change until you decide to change and nothing will improve until you improve it.

You owe it to yourself and to people who care about you to seize day and make your life something to be proud of.

The satisfaction that comes from living life on your own terms is a wonderful gift you deserve to enjoy. And you will only have this once you know how to motivate yourself to create life you dream of.

My income jumped, my social life improved dramatically and new opportunities for having even more of what I wanted all came about for me only after I learned secrets of self- motivation.

The world did not change. Other people did not change. I changed. Only When YOU change will your world change for better.

Before I go...

Think of those people who look down on your lack of progress and take you for granted, think of that sense you have of not been in control.

All of these feelings of dissatisfaction are not going to disappear-- in fact they will dominate your life as years pass you by.

These issues are not going to go away all by themselves.

I tried wait and see approach - it does not work!

You need to stop rot as a matter of urgency.

Another thing, if you're married or living with someone, don't expect a whole lot of support or kisses and hugs, during those inevitable tough times.

Unfortunately, most people are conditioned to "9 to 5, retire at 65," way of thinking. Many of them dream about starting their own business, but just can't seem to find courage to do so.

Instead, they'll observe you with a critical eye, secretly hoping you fail, so that they can justify their own fears and insecurities about being entrepreneurs.

So, if you're expecting support and encouragement from your family and friends, you're probably going to be disappointed. I don't mean to be a wet blanket but, that's just way it is. Most likely, you'll probably hear a bunch of negativity and comments about getting a real job.

That's point when you're going to have to look deep inside yourself and stay strong and focused. Because chances are, you're going to be going through this alone. That's why programming your mind for success is so important. It'll help you stay focused and positive. And if by chance you do happen to have family and friends who do support you, so much better!
