at where you are now and how you got there. This is not done so you can

experience blame or pain but to evaluate where you are and where you

want to go.

If you start to blame yourself or get into self pity or I should have's

this experience is not valuable. However, since you were doing what you

knew to do at that time blame becomes meaningless. So take your Higher

Power along on this journey and just sit back and view it like you were

viewing a movie or someone elses life. How would you critique

players in this movie? If they were a friend of yours what advise would

you give them? Take a good look and know that what you find is just a

lesson or if you prefer a challenge to do better next time since now

you have more information to make a better decision.

Taking responsiblity for where you are now lays no blame it simply gives you information to make future decisions that will create

life you want to create in future.

Many people are drifters in life. They just live day to day and don't

think about future. So if you want different results you must

decide what you want and act differently.

What we dwell on grows so if we are just sitting around with a bunch of

regrets and troubles and all we do is think about them they grow. But

so do thoughts of creating something new. Our unconscious mind creates

the thing we have meditiated on. If we are full of fear we will draw

the thing we fear to us. So decide where you want to go and start

toward that goal and it will happen for you.

It is important to look into your heart and ask yourself is this

something I really want or am I just trying to please someone else. If

it is not something you really want to do then subconscious will

help you by supplying missed opportunities, you will oversleep, miss a

plane, insult a contact. So look into your heart and ask yourself is

this really my goal or someone elses goal for me. Why do I want this to

happen? Example I want a million dollars is your goal. Ask yourself

what this million dollars represents to you. A bigger house, a fancier

car, more time at home, vacations. So maybe it is not a million dollars

Hold your horses!

Never ever think of giving up. Winners never quit and quitters never win. Take all negative words out of your mental dictionary and focus on solutions with utmost conviction and patience. The battle is never lost until you've abandon your vision.

But what if you're really exhausted physically, mentally, and most of all emotionally? Here are some sources of motivation to prompt you in reaching peak of accomplishment.

1) The Overwhelming Feeling of Attaining your Desired End

How would you feel after accomplishing your mission? Of course you will feel ecstatic. You might be shedding tears of joy. Let this tremendous feeling sink in and encourage you to persist despite all odds.

When I was studying for Board Exams, I used this technique to motivate me. I would envision sweetness of folks calling me a CPA. It would command respect. People will look up to me as a higher level of authority. And I would have better chances of finding a good job. I absorbed all these great perceptions into my inner being in order to achieve my ultimate goal.

2) The Reward System

How would you feel if you've entered a contest, but there are no prizes for winners? It's not very encouraging, isn't it?

The same principles apply to your vision. Reward yourself after accomplishing a goal. Set a particular incentive for every objective.

Let's say if you've achieved a particular task, you'll treat yourself to your favorite restaurant. When you've finished a bigger task, you'll go on a vacation.

Got idea?

Just set something gratifying to indulge in after completing a certain undertaking.
