Tap into your potential

You are the key to your own achievements.  You are a bubbling source of infinite ideas that is within your control.  You emit the frequency of energy you need to clarify your next project.  Whenever you receive anything, from a grade on a test, to the assistance of a friend, recognize that you brought it all on yourself.  Who you were is less important than who you choose to become.  Focus energy on what you want and those undesireables will move out of your life.

Goal-setting is a systematic way of motivating yourself to overcome obstacles.  Do it for yourself.  As you intentionally identify something to work toward, the biggest thing to do is just start.  Your attitude can act as your compass.  You will chart out a course to follow.  You are the captain of your own ship.   As you take one step at-a-time, you can learn to overcome self-defeating thoughts, destructive patterns and beliefs outside yourself that hold you back.

Identify the nature of your goal.  Does it concern your personal life? Your job? Your spiritual pursuits? Your leisure activities? Put a realistic timeframe on what you aim to accomplish. You may wish to reach out for advice or assistance to help get you on your way.  Talking about your plans makes you more likely to realize them.  Other people who know can also encourage you.  With perseverence and focus, you will commit to make it happen.
