It is hammered in to me that reading, listening to other motivational speakers, and associating with like-minded people will help you achieve your goals along with taking action. You have to motivate yourself to keep up these activities. Little things done over time produce the results. Stay away from negativity. Don’t watch too much television and movies. You are being programmed to think negatively by some producer who has a job to sell you on the advertising which supports the television station. Sometimes you may feel like giving up. If there is something inside you that can benefit others use it. Be vulnerable. Know that you will be helping others in talking about your own struggles. You will have figured out how to avoid certain pitfalls if you keep taking action in a positive direction. When in doubt it is okay to ask for help. Many fail while trying to achieve their goals. The key is to learn from the mistakes and move on.
