(4)Spend More Time with Your Loved Ones: The joy of achieving something great in your career becomes even bigger when you have someone to share it with. Ultimately, what counts is emotional satisfaction of being a part of a stable support system of family and friends. Your career goals are important. However, try not sacrificing your personal life for sake of achieving them.

(5) Patience Pays: In this mercilessly fast-paced world, we wish to achieve too much, too soon—the faster, better; bigger, better. We have become so preoccupied with achieving fame, success and wealth that we seem to be missing out on finer and subtle aspects of life.

Everyone wants best in terms of material and social benefits. You got a good job, you have a great lifestyle and life is absolutely cool! So far, so good. Suddenly, something goes wrong with your personal or professional life and your world is turned upside down. You feel like going nowhere—you desperately need a dose of self-motivation to lift your spirits. It is this feeling of ‘emptiness within’ that you need to overcome.

Don’t let criticism, failure, or setbacks thwart your path to success. Try to be patient. You can’t expect a rose bush to bloom overnight. Similarly, you must give yourself some time to develop your abilities and enhance your skills before you reap benefits of your experience and knowledge.

When you discover power of self-motivation, you will realize sheer energy and enthusiasm it brings with it. As someone said, nightingale doesn’t sing because it has an audience; it sings because it has a song. Feel better with self-motivation and experience richness of life.

The list is endless.

2. Set goals with specific conditions.

Make your goals possible to accomplish. Plan your goals and structure your thoughts around positive actions. If you think your goal is impossible - it will be. Yet, if you think in positive terms, your goals will be easier to achieve. Refuse to let doubt sway you from your target. Stay positive and you’ll get to your goal much faster. 3. Think big, yet be realistic.

Every accomplishment starts with a dream. Make your dream biggest and best - then work to make it come true. Write down everything you know about your dream and your desire to have it happen. What do you have to do? How soon can you make it happen? Be patient, nothing happens overnight.

4. Make a plan.

Write your dream, idea and your plan of action in present tense: “I am successful.” “I have a successful business.” “My faith is strong and I am blessed financially.” “I am going to reach my goal.” This helps your mind to visualize outcome. Your mind is forced to act as if your dream has already materialized. Your mind works in present and makes no distinction between what is happening now and what has already happened. Confusion comes when you send your thoughts to future or back to past. The mind may shut down and stop working you what you desire.

5. Set values on your goals.

What value do you place on your life? On your career? On your business? What excites you? Let your imagination soar. Would you give up your values for someone else’s if it meant losing your character or your faith? Your goals must be valuable to you before they can be fulfilled. When you focus on your dream, give it time to grow and develop. It soon becomes a reality.

6. Reward your progress.

When you achieve even smallest step in accomplishing your goals, get excited. Compliment yourself for taking a step toward reaching your goal. There isn’t anything more gratifying then accomplishing your goal. When you make a major accomplishment, do something for someone else. Celebrate it!

With unlimited opportunities to reach your dreams and goals; with unlimited access to knowledge, information, instructors, and places to go for help, there’s no telling what you can accomplish - if you desire! Then...

Always remember to thank source from which it all comes.
