One of the biggest differences between a successful person and an ordinary person is that successful person think what he or she wants most of the time.
Therefore, if you want to be successful, think about what you want to achieve in your life, ALL THE TIME!
Thinking about what you want most of the time will actually make you focus in what you want. You will then make directive decision and slowly taking action toward the direction where you are heading.
It is just like if you never think of improving your golf skill, you will never be serious and committed when playing it. When your friends ask you to go for golf, you may even reject him if it is not your passion.
However, if you keep on thinking about improving your golf skill, the story will be different. You will automatically and tend to go for golf games when your friends invited you. And when you’re playing, you’ll play with seriousness and the determination to improve.
This is what I mean by Think Like A Millionaire.
If you want to be rich, just dream about becoming rich. You have to start achieving in your mind before you can manifest it into your physical life. If you’ve never thought of wanted to win a lottery, you will never buy it.
It is only when you think of it, you will do it.
This is the first step you need to create the life you always dream about. Thinking about getting what you want in your life is the first and the most fundamental step for you to be successful.
So here is my advice for you. Find out what you want after you finish this article, and spend 30 minutes into thinking or visualizing the achievement of what you want. If you find that 30 minutes is just too much, start with 5 minutes, and then increase it slowly, day by day, until you can do it for 30 minutes.
If you can do this, you will eventually get what you want in your life.
Act Like An Athlete
What do an athlete do everyday? TRAINING!
Yes, without training, you will never accomplish what you want in your life. Every athlete achieves their goals through training. Meaning, they DO something everyday to move closer toward their goals.
And you have to be like them. You need to ‘train’ yourself to do something everyday and get closer toward what you want. If you are not doing anything, you will never get to the place where you want to be.
If your dream is to visit Paris, set it as goal, craft a plan on how you can make it happen and take action everyday. It is not like one day you wake up and you find yourself in one of the hotels in Paris. This is just not possible to happen.
The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. It is the single or small steps that matter the most. As long as you take action consistently, no matter big or small, you will eventually reach your goal.
I will end this article with the quote from Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop…
“If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.”
