Little Red Engine
Do you remember
the story of the caboose that was desperately trying to make
it over a very large hill? He kept telling himself repeatedly,
“I think I can, I think I can.” When you start feeling overwhelmed
or defeated, tell yourself aloud these same words. While it
may seem a little awkward at first, stand in front of a mirror
and tell yourself, “I think I can, I think I can.” You might
even change the words to, “I know I can!”
22.
Be Proactive
While it may take
time to learn how to identify ways to avoid obstacles or failures,
get into the habit of tackling problems before they arise.
This will help you avoid wasting precious time on your road
to success.
23.
Stay Motivated
When striving for
the big goal of success, it is critical to stay motivated.
Find inspiring and motivational tapes, seminars, books, movies;
whatever you are able to get your hands on. When you start
to feel a little down and out and doubt starts to creep in,
turn to these motivational tools to help you keep on track.
A few excellent motivators include Tony Robbins, Norman Vincent
Peale, Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, and Les Brown.
24.
Give Yourself a Break
While being determined
is important, do not be so hard on yourself that you become
critical of every move you make. Give yourself some room to
make mistakes and be flexible with you. That does not mean
you can miss goals but it does mean that if you do, you find
out how to avoid that from happening again and then get back
to business.
25.
Be Passionate
Fall in love with
what your success. Okay, although that sounds funny, you need
to have an intimate passion with your interest. You can do
this regardless of what your success is. By having passion
for what you are doing and driving toward, you will automatically
put more effort into it. Passion is a good thing as long as
it does not become an obsession.
26.
Don’t Settle
If you have a goal of becoming
a world-famous chef and you know you have both desire and skill,
do not just settle to become a short order cook at your local
family-style restaurant. While that may be good training ground,
do not allow yourself to lose sight of your ultimate goal.
27.
No Excuses
Many famous actors,
music artists, inventors, etc., had special challenges ranging
from learning disabilities to physical disabilities. Take
Beethoven for example. He was born deaf yet he went on to
be one of the world’s greatest composers or Joni Erickson
who was paralyzed from the neck down yet she learned to paint
with her mouth. Today, her paintings are famous around the
world and worth millions. If you are faced with a special
challenge of your own, while you may have to adjust things
from time to time, do not use excuses. If you want something
bad enough, there is a way!
28.
Getting Past Fear of Failure
Being afraid of
failure is a normal emotion for every person on the planet.
How you get past that fear is the determining factor between
failing and succeeding. You can do that by setting realistic
goals and then examining those goals on occasion to do any
necessary realignment. Above all, believe in yourself and
the desire burning within.
29.
Patience and Dues
Succeeding takes
time. A goal worth setting will take time to achieve. Be patient
with yourself, the people around you, and the process it takes
to become successful, also referred to as “paying your dues.”
Just like the chef scenario, it takes time to be a master
chef. Pay your dues by learning and working your way up the
ladder to success.
30.
Good Time / Resource Management
Being successful
also means keeping to a schedule. In addition, you need to
learn how much is too much. Good time and resource management
will help you ensure that you use your time wisely and that
you are not adding third portions onto a plate still overflowing
with seconds.
