DO YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL?

Within you is the power to accomplish anything you want. But it
will not happen if you are not tuned into your true desires.
Don't fool yourself into compromising for less than a complete
goal. If you want to be an artist, you may not be the world's
most famous artist, but if you have that inclination, you will
be an artist. If you want to succeed in business, you may not be
another financier/mega-millionaire, but you will succeed in your
endeavors.

Most people need accomplishment feedback. After all, what's so
great about achieving something if nobody cares? And it's
important to receive that recognition and feel that love.

Set goals that you can achieve. Divide them into little tidbits
that you can accomplish every day, every month, every year. Set
your goals for success.

Then reap the rewards constantly - each step of the way. Pat
yourself on the back for a job well done, then move on. Start
immediately to accomplish the goals you have set. In fact, give
yourself a task that you can finish by tomorrow. Think of
yourself as a success in your endeavors. Dwell on the idea that
you are compelled to accomplish your goals, and live and breathe
them until you have them.

Can you see yourself a year from now, having achieved a few
goals? Can you make the decision and commitment to become
successful in your desires? Then you have the potential to
accomplish anything you want.

THE POWER OF SELF-IMAGE

Visualizing yourself as a success in your field of endeavor is
the inside tip in accomplishing anything you want. If you can
specifically imagine being the person you want to become, you
will attain that reality.

Forgive yourself. Just as you would another person, tell yourself
that it's okay for all those mistakes, or the should-haves that
keep popping up in your mind. Don't dwell on the past and get
blocked by events from long ago.

Let go of fears and anxieties. Although it certainly is easier
said than done, learn to change negative thoughts into a positive
action. Are you afraid of poverty - that you'll never make ends
meet, or never buy that house, or be destitute once you stop
working? Then turn that into the positive goal of financial
security.

Do people make you anxious? Maybe you feel inferior, not as good
as others. Everybody has feelings of inadequacy. Just turn them
around into positive goals. You may be paralyzed by the thoughts
that you are unattractive. It is your thoughts that make it a
reality. Change your modes of behavior and you will make friends.
In most cases, it is your own negative thoughts that cause you
to stay stuck in whatever place you're in. Keep moving. Take
the risks. You may need to change your job, or move to another
city. You might take up a sport or hobby. Become active in your
life - participate. And you will grow into the image you see for
yourself.

SUCCESS IN BUSINESS

Perhaps the most sought-after goal in our present society is
success in business. Whether you want to be promoted into high
paying management positions, or wish to start your own
independent enterprise, knowledge of the business world is
important.

As you plan a course of action towards accomplishing your goal,
keep in mind the small goals that put you closer to the end.
And be prepared to change often. You may need to change
companies, or take the opportunities in other departments as
those positions open.

Create an aura of success around you. People who are successful
dress that way. Even if you're not in a high-income bracket,
act as though you have already achieved - without being
egotistical or overspending.

Develop an expertise in an area. Don't keep special information
to yourself, but be quick to learn all there is about your
position and the tasks surrounding getting that job done.
Capitalize on your strengths, and let others help you develop
your weaknesses into assets.

Get to know the people in the company and the people in the
industry. Read all the trade journals and magazines relating to
your company. Make appointments with people who are successful
in your field and learn from them.

You need to have a total commitment to succeed in business.
Most people who make it to the executive boardroom put in long
hours, often at the sacrifice of everything else. Regardless of
the physical effort involved, you must mentally be engrossed in
your business and the company enterprises.

In order to help yourself develop fully, you might seek a mentor,
someone who will offer you time and teach you the ropes. This
person usually is someone who believes in your ability, someone
who you can develop a mutually beneficial business relationship
with.

Some people become friendly with all their co-workers and find
that is a way to advance. But don't try to be extroverted if
it's not real to you. Most people who successfully run their own
businesses are individuals who like to work alone.

As you increase your activities and accomplishments, you increase
your potential to reach higher. The more you achieve, the more
confidence you develop to achieve more. You don't have to be the
same as everyone else and fit like a vegetable in a patch.
Be unique, different. Capitalize on your own self-image.
Don't fall victim to self-consciousness. And trust your
intuition. Hunches and inner feelings usually are the best route
to travel, regardless of what seems to be the logical choice.

Make decisions quickly and with firmness. A true leader will
handle these responsibilities efficiently. That's what makes you
different and why you'll rise to the top. Be persistent in
attaining your goals, but be open and sincere.

If you are having personal difficulties with any co-workers, try
to know more about these people from a personal angle. Be
interested in them and their accomplishments and goals. You might
be able to turn opposition into friendship.

Above all, use your integrity. If the goal is not worthy of
your inner desires, it will be hard to attain. If your methods
are not sincere, you will receive opposition. If your actions
are not honest, you will suffer the consequences. Turn all
negative qualities into positive aspects - then watch yourself
achieve.
