DESIRE best sustains your thoughts. The more passionate your desire, quicker it will happen. Benefit from knowledge ("the pearls of wisdom") found in books, like this one (plug plug). Read books and keep repeating positive words. Repetition of affirmations really works by imprinting positive thoughts in mind. NEVER GIVE UP.

Mastering our own destiny and fulfilling our potential as "human beans" , our dreams is our ultimate purpose in life. In so doing, I also believe we can (no WILL) glorify God, Great Creator. Find your passion and extend your goals. Love what you do. Find work that satisfies you and you will have found your passion.

I love researching and studying human mind, then applying principles to see whether they DO work. MASTER THE UNCONSCIOUS (SUBCONSCIOUS) MIND: Accept it as truth and you will. If you have faith that you will accomplish something, you will. The more you internalise it (a fancy term used by those rather weird 'psycho types') which simply means making it real within you), more powerful it becomes. "You can do very little with faith, but you can do nothing without it." - Samuel Butler

Your unconscious mind is extremely susceptible to power of words and it can be easily influenced. Words like "can't" engrave themselves in unconscious; so that negative thoughts and feelings become your self-image. To become rich you have to create a new self-image. Self-image depends l argely on your expectation about who you're going to be.

So work on your SELF-IMAGE. Believe in your uniqueness and ability to make your own special contribution to world no matter how small, or how dull, or unintelligent you think you may be. Everybody has some unique talent and there is no other like you in this world. There is a seed of greatness in each one of us - a precious resource to achieve something unique in our lives.

SO PLANT THAT FIRST SEED ON YOUR PERSONAL PATH TO GREATNESS TODAY.

Good Luck

Remember, failing once at something is simply a learning exercise, which tells you that way you have just tried isn't working It's not asking you to give up, it's simply closing one door. All you need to do is find another door and open it. It is this attitude that will build your self-confidence, as you will be learning along way and amending your application and plan.

It is this reviewing as you go followed by adjust, amend and focus that allows you to choose wisely. Nevertheless, you must choose. You can't expect other people to make your choices for you. Sure, others will assist you but final choice will always be up to you. You will occasionally choose poorly along way. In fact, you will almost with certainty choose poorly quite regularly at beginning.

This is normal and to be expected. How else do you get experience that we all so desperately long to have? It is our decisions, which give us experience to make further and more highly informed decisions along way.

Can you see how your confidence can build here? As your confidence grows in your abilities, you will become more able. They are directly linked.

You will need to take risks along way. Dependant upon your personality will be level of risk you take. If you have a Managed Investment Portfolio then look at level of risk you have invested, this will give you a good indication of how much risk you will take. It will show you how far out on a limb you may go out of your comfort zone, in order to get what it is you really want. If you don't have such a policy, then draw a parallel. You could write down what your definition of "risk" really is and use it as a guide.

Your self-confidence grows as you grow. This gives you a broader understanding of your options, which allows you to make knowledgeable decisions, utilizing your power of choice. Choice needs to be learned. At beginning, there is only one option. If we decide on that route then we haven't taken full advantage of our birthright. Every other species on this earth has not got level of choice that is available to us. Don't let anyone push your buttons. Choose to push them yourself as you pursue your goals choosing to become successful.
