The clearer you are about the consequences of your actions and the more intensely you desire to enjoy the consequences that your behaviors may lead to, the more motivated you will be.

Get around the right people. Associate with positive, goal-oriented people who encourage and inspire you.

Start with a picture of your goal as already achieved in the future, and work back to the present. Imagine the steps that you would have taken to get from where you are now to where you want to be.

Be willing to launch in faith, with no guarantees of success. This is the mark of personal greatness

Whenever you set a goal of any kind, you will have to grow and develop to the point where you are ready to achieve it.

Everything that you do or say that raises the self-esteem of another raises yours as well.

You do not need to be different from who you are. You only need to be more of the person you already are.
