* Use your imagination.

* Self discipline is an acquired habit. Teach your children this habit (and other good habits ... but not point one!) when they are young.

* Establish other good habits. Start your day early. Use your most productive time and especially, your first hour wisely - when you are most alert (if ever?).

* BE ENTHUSIASTIC and AVOID DISTRACTIONS. I think enthusiasm is a vital key to success. You have to enjoy what you are doing and not merely "go through motions".

We all have choices in way in which we are going to live our lives. We can also choose attitudes we are going to take: whether we are going to hold a positive or a negative outlook on life. Far more on this intriguing and complex subject later; but it is critical to whether you achieve success or not.

So make DAILY AFFIRMATIONS or short positive statements to yourself, eg. say, "I am on right track", or "I can do it". These positive thoughts encourage you, especially if they are repeated frequently. The effects of daily affirmations are that they imprint upon our deeper consciousness, which reflects in way we function. They make you feel better about yourself and in so doing enhance your confidence.

"A pessimist is one who sees a difficulty in every opportunity. An optimist is one who sees an opportunity in every difficulty..." - anon.

Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, said that imagination is most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force world has ever known. Before you pass him away as a crackpot, know that Mr. Hill was an advisor to two U.S. presidents, was commissioned by great and wealthy Andrew Carnegie to teach people about making their dreams come true, and has been thanked by many of greatest people around world for success he helped them achieve. People like F. W. Woolworth (founder of Woolworth’s), Woodrow Wilson (former U.S. President), George Eastman (founder of Kodak), W. M. Wrigley, JR. (Wrigley’s), and many others have used his teachings to manifest their dreams.

Imagination is force that takes you to places you have never been.

Henry Ford relied on imagination and belief. Walt Disney said that had he not seen Disneyland in his mind, rest of world would not have seen it on earth. Bill Gates first imagines his products before they become actual software that we rely on. And it would serve you well to remember that many of world’s greatest people started with nothing and built empires. They had a dream. And universe conspired, as it always does, to let them experience their imagination. The universe always lets you experience your imagination, whatever it may be.

The Bible says ‘As a man thinketh, so shall he become’. It also says ‘Without vision we perish’.

Your mind’s images are literally blueprint from which your world is built.

Your mind is infinite. What are your limits? What are limits, except those that you say are so? Why else would two different people have different ‘limits’?
