Important info

Did you know that 19 out of every 20 people have no idea why they go to work in the morning? They do it because it's what everyone else does. They do it because it's what they're supposed to do. Do you think those people can ever be successful?
They can, everybody CAN, but they need to make some serious changes in their lives.
To be Successful you only need two things

1. You need to know where you are going.
2. You need to take a step in the right direction every day.

Now, you don't need to know exactly how to get to where you want to go, but you need to have a very clear destination in mind.Let's say you plan to go across country to another city. You jump in your car and you start driving, you may have a map or a GPS or something that gives you directions, but you've never actually been that way before. You don't know what it looks like, where the turns are or exactly how you're going to get there.
You follow the roads, you make some turns and you eventually you arrive.
Life is the same.
You just need to pick your destination, start driving and then follow the road signs as you go.
But remember this. If you don't know what city you are driving to how are you ever going to follow the signs and get there? You'll just end up driving in circles around the country wasting petrol and your life.
So what is your destination? Is it:

• Owning a big house on the ocean.
• Making $1 million by the time you are 30.
• Loosing 10kg by June

Now you need to lock that image in your head. You need to think about it all the time; you need to obsess about it.

• Visualise how it feels,
• How it looks,
• How do you feel when you've got it?
• How does it smell?

The more real you make it in your head the better off you will be. If you can put up pictures of it or old photo's of how you used to look, that's even better. You just need something you can focus on.Then all you have to do is make sure you are taking a step in that direction every day. When you go to do something, ask yourself;

• Is this going to help me reach my goal?
• Is this congruent with what I want?

If you answer yes to these questions then do it. If not then don't and move onto something that is going to help you.Oh, and I guess there is one more point to being successful.
NEVER GIVE UP.
There is a chance you will make the wrong turn at some point and find yourself heading the wrong way. Just stop, ask for directions if you need to and then get back on track.
If you where 900km into a 1000km trip and you took a wrong turn, would you just give up and drive the 900km back home?
NO you would make the necessary changes and finish your journey.
It doesn't matter if you drive 10km one day and 100km the next. As long as you continue in the right direction you will always make it to your destination.
Being successful is not just about making it to your destination. You are successful the second you HAVE a destination and start MOVING in that direction. When you arrive at your destination, stop for a moment, soak up the sense of achievement, enjoy it, and then pick another one.
If you stop for good when you got to your destination your life soon become empty and appear meaningless again. It is irrelevant if you have $10 in the bank or $10million. If you don't have any direction in your life you will just become miserable. Just take a look at the celebrities that supposedly "have it all" but are wasting away on drugs and alcohol. Then look at the loving family down the road that doesn't appear to have much but are always happy and filled with joy.
Not everyone's goals and dreams are huge and there is nothing wrong with that, we are all different and all want different things. The important thing is to know what you want and take a step in that direction every day.
