If you want to be successful, you must change your life.

Changing your life is not something easy to do, but it is doable. You have to understand that sometimes changing the way you live may cause a lot of stress and tension. This is why most people fail to change.

Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Staying in your comfort zone will not change your life. Ask yourself this question right now, “Am I feeling comfortable with my life?”

If your answer is a yes, you’re staying in your comfort zone. And if you’re staying in your comfort zone, you will never be successful. Unless you’re already successful, you must not live in comfortable.

Try this exercise right now:

Lift your right leg and spin it in the clockwise direction. After that lift up your right hand, and try to write the number ‘six’ in the air. Can you do this?

You cannot. The moment you try to write the number ‘six’ with your hand, your leg will turn the other way round.

I’ll explain the reasons for doing this exercise later. Now, let’s try doing another exercise.

Try to cross your arm just like you always did when you are standing and have nothing to do. Are you doing it with ease? Great.

Next, try to cross your arm the other way round. What do you feel? Do you feel it is hard to do?

So what can you learn from this?

Change Is Difficult, But It Can Be Done

You will feel that when you’re trying to write the number ‘six’ with your right hand, your right leg will not follow your instruction anymore. This is because your mind has conditioned your leg and your hand to act together. If you try it for some time, you will be able to do the exercise perfectly.

It is just like when you are trying to cross your hand the other way, which is the other way that you usually do, you will feel odd. Again, you have conditioned your mind to do it the usual way. So when you’re trying to cross it the other way, you will feel odd.

Therefore, change is not an easy task. It is difficult to change at first and you must learn to venture out of your comfort zone.

Change might be difficult, but it can be done. You did cross your hand the other way didn’t you? Of course you did, it can be done.

If you’re pursuing success in life, it will be the same theory.

Some people find it hard to even spend 10 minutes into reading any self-improvement book. Believe me, if you’re one of them, it is just because it is the starting point. That is why you will find it difficult. I can tell you frankly that I will find it hard for me not to read any book in a day.

That is because I’ve conditioned my mind and body into a situation where reading everyday is a must in my life. You can do the same.

How To Change Your Life

Now, you understand that change is not easy, but it is doable. However, how can you change your life for the better?

I don’t know what dreams or goals you have in your life, but if you want to change your life to reach your destiny, here are some of my suggestions…

1. You’ll have to do it slowly and start small in the beginning. For example, if you want to adopt the habit of reading daily, you can start small and slow. Read for 10 or 15 minutes everyday, and then slowly increase the time you put into doing it.

2. The next very important key in changing your life and your habit, is consistency. You cannot change your life if you are not consistent with it. Let me ask you this, how do you bath? The way you bath is exactly the same everyday. You’ll find it difficult when you try to change it. This is simply because you have bathed the same way for years!

How do you set or comb your hair? If you do it the same way everyday in front of the mirror, can you do it without the mirror one day? You bet! However, after you have cut your hair, you will find it a little hard to do. That is because your mind has not yet condition how you are going to do it.

3. Do it for at least 30 days. When you try to change, you need to have the consistency and discipline. If you can do it for at least 30 days, you will be able to form a new habit, and change your life slowly.

Just imagine if you can adopt a new positive habit into your life once every two months. Can you see what will happen to you in the next 3 years? You are going to adopt 18 new positive habits! Do yo think this is good enough to change your life? You bet, it definitely will!

Do you find it difficult to achieve what you want in your life?

If your answer is a yes, this is definitely the right post you must read. I’m going to share with you the 7 proven success techniques that will help you in your journey to success.

1. Leverage on goal setting

This is the first technique that you definitely don’t want to leave out. Goal setting is considered one of the most powerful success techniques that will help to achieve what you want in your life.

I personally practice this technique and found it to be very useful. It reminds me of what I’m going to achieve in my life and what should I do when the time comes. Let me give you an example, whenever I saw my goals, I will feel determined to take the necessary action to make my goals come true.

This is what goal setting can do for you. It will remind you of your mission and what you need to do in your life. If you think that life is boring, it is most probably you haven’t found your true purpose in life. A dream will give you a rough idea of what you want in your life, but a goal will give you specific detail of what you need to do to make your dreams come true.

2. Visualization

This is an old school. Visualization is also a powerful technique that will help you to achieve what you want in your life.

I seldom do this, but sometimes when I’m free, the images will just flow through my mind and they motivates me. Yes, seeing yourself being successful in your mind is something inspiring. Visualization can motivates you. However, you must make sure you visualize only positive image.

Most people fail in their life and they tend to attract negative events into their life simply because they are not optimistic enough. Most people will think negatively.

When you’re driving, what will you do if you come across an accident by the road side? Will you slow down and have a look? On the other hand, if there is a beautiful tree grow by the road side, will you slow down and take note about it? Most people will get attracted to an accident, but not to a beautiful tree.

3. Affirmation

Again, this is also another common technique that you can use to shortcut your journey to success. Words are great resources available to everyone in this world. No matter what language you use, you know which word to use when you it comes to your mind.

It is just like visualization, you should use positive words instead of the negative. Not everyone will have the same meaning for each word. Some people will link massive amount of pain to the word failure, and that is how they give so much pressure on themselves that they cannot fail.

Donald Trump, he links failure as being number two in everything, especially in real estate, and that is how he manages to produce amazing result in his life because he doesn’t allow himself to be number two.

You can create affirmation and repeat it whenever you are free.

4. Public commitment

Do you know why most people fail to achieve their goals and live their dreams? It is simply because they are not committed to their goals and dreams!

So this is what you can do if you find procrastination is your number one enemy. Tell everyone you know about your dreams, your goals, and what you are going to do to achieve them. Even better, update them with every action and results you have taken and received.

If you do this, I can personally guarantee that success will be yours.

Most people are afraid to share their dreams and goals with others. When you do this, you are leaving yourself with no other way but to achieve what you’ve just committed. This is because your credibility is at stakes, you don’t want others to laugh at you and so you will do whatever it takes to achieve them.

Some people will say you’re crazy or even laugh at you when you tell them what you are going to accomplish in your life. Just ignore them. Turn their tease into energy and forces that will support you in your journey.

That is why after you have written down your goals, you need to stick the paper somewhere you can see. It gives you the sense that you must achieve them or else you’re a wimp.

5. Reward and punish system

This technique works pretty simple. You reward yourself whenever you did something and move closer toward your goals and you punish yourself if you procrastinate.

This technique will help to train your discipline and raise your level of commitment. It is just like when you’re training your dog, you praise and give it food when it performs as you wish. This is how people train animals such as dolphins and lions. You can apply this technique into your life as well.

Whenever you have achieved a small goal or have taken a small action, reward yourself by watching a movie, relax and so on. Or if you procrastinate, punish yourself to stay up late just to get the stuff done.

6. Regular exercise and enjoyment

If you work 18 hours a day, you will go crazy one day. You need to be balanced in your life to be productive. Study has shown that working longer hour does not mean more productive. Some people work 4 or 5 hours, but the work done is equivalent to those who have worked for 18 hours.

It is all about balanced and being productive. You need to understand that God does not design everyday to be Monday or Tuesday. God has designed 7 days in a week and there is one day for you to rest, Sunday.

Sometimes when you face your computer screen for a long time, you will feel tired and unable to be as productive as you would. However, after a small talk with your colleague or after went to the toilet, you will feel that your concentration power increased a little.

You know what this means and what should you do in your life. Success is not about working 18 hours a day, it is about being balanced in every area of your life.

7. Read, learn and improve

This is one very important technique that will give you long-term success. No matter who you are, as long as you’re willing to learn and improve, you’ll have the chance to be successful.

If you don’t know about investing, read books about it. If you don’t know about real estate, attend seminars and workshop to learn about it. You can basically learn everything from books, people’s experience and all kinds of resources.

If one book will be able to give you a constructive idea how to improve your life, you will gain 12 ideas in a year if you read a book per month. Learning and improving are what you need to be the best in your industry.

So read, learn and be willing to improve for the better from now on.

Do you want to know how successful people are able to stay motivated all the time and how they are able to produce amazing results in their industry?

This is exactly what you are going to discover in this post. I’m going to share with you exactly why successful people are able to stay motivated all the time and how they produce amazing results in their industry.

Donald Trump, he seems to be able to have all the energy in the world in making real estate deals. Not only that, he is considered one of the top people in real estate.

The same thing happens to Bill Gates. He is great in developing software. Mr. Gates has all the energy and motivation he needs in computer technology industry. Why is this so?

What about Tiger Woods? He is one of the best golfer and no matter how tough the competition goes, he seems to have all the motivation to create amazing results.

The same goes to Michael Jordan and many more. Have you ever wonder how these people can stay motivated all the time? And why are they the best in their field?

The answer is pretty simple.

First, They Love What They Do

Yes, if you want to be successful, you must do what you love. It is only by doing something that you are passionate about, you will have all the energy you want.

Some people are able to stay in the office until midnight just to get their work done and never to complain anything, why? It is because they love to do it and that is why they are not complaining. If you hate your work, you will never get it done with your maximum potential.

When you hate to do something, you will give excuses not to do it. Even if you did do it, you will never do it as good as if you like it.

This is the key how successful people are successful, simply because they love what they do.

Next, They Focus All Their Energy In Their Passion

This is very important if you want to be successful in your life. If you know you love to invest in real estate but you do not concentrate your energy into this field, you will never produce amazing results from it.

You have to stay focused and do what you love. This is what makes successful people the best in their industry!

What do you think will happen if Michael Jordan play golf and basketball in the same time? Do you think he will be able to produce amazing results in both fields? Or do you think he will excel in basketball but not in golf?

He definitely will not produce any great results in golf, because his passion is in basketball.

So don’t waste your time and energy into something that you totally have no passion in. The key here is to focus all of your energy into one direction. Just like a laser, if you diversify the energy, you will never create extraordinary results in any field.

Someone who is great in golf will not be great in tennis. The point here is to choose only the thing that you are passionate about, and do more of it. Tiger Woods is good at golf, but not so in tennis. You have to be the specialist in your field.

How To Stay Motivated And Be Extraordinary In Your Field

The things you need to do now is to find out where your passion is. Nobody can help you in this, only you can find out the answer. Ask it deep within yourself and answer with your heart, not with your mind.

After you found out what you love to do, focus in doing it and you will produce amazing outcomes and eventually, becomes extraordinaire in your industry.
