subject: Attract Success With These Top Tips [print this page] Success can sometimes seem like an illusive dream, but it is within your reach if you know how to find it. Attract success by being focused, organised and positive and you will know the joy of having a life filled with purpose.
Success can come in many forms, both personal and professional. We all want different things, but the key point is to identify what your personal aim is. This could be to meet the partner of your dreams, lose half your body weight, be a sports star, singer or president of a company. Whatever it may be, find your goal and always keep it in mind.
Having a clear idea about your aim is an important starting point. Not everyone is lucky enough to know their real purpose in life, but it is worth giving it some attention. Consider your strengths and special gifts and how you can use them to bring you greater fulfillment. Think about your personality and the situations where you feel most comfortable. If, for example, you have an outgoing nature and you have a desk job with little interpersonal contact, you may want to find another occupation in which you deal with the public.
Once you know your goal, write it down and keep it somewhere safe. Put a time limit on when you would like it to be fulfilled and treat it as a binding contract with yourself. You may even like to put it somewhere prominent so you are always reminded of what you are aiming for.
A goal in itself, however, is not enough as you must also plan how to reach it. Break it down into small achievable steps and it will seem more tangible and give you more direction. An unfit person who wants to participate in a sporting event could make a plan which includes consulting a trainer, buying the necessary equipment and creating a training schedule.
When you embark upon your plan you need to stay motivated even when it gets frustrating and you feel like quitting. There are some simple ways to increase your motivation, the most important of which is positive thinking. When you continually remind yourself that you are making progress and are going to succeed in the end your chances of doing so become so much greater. Other techniques such as prayer, meditation or yoga can also help to keep your state of mind healthy.
It is also very important that the people around you understand and support what you are doing. Try to reduce contact with anyone who casts doubt and look for help from those who believe in you.
Reward yourself frequently, especially when you make significant progress towards achieving your goal. This doesn't have to involve spending huge amounts, just find something small such as a book or CD which will encourage you to keep trying. Save the big prize for the finishing line. A new wardrobe or overseas trip will be a huge motivator to reach the end.
Whatever your background, you can attract success into your life. Find your goal, keep your thoughts positive and go for it.
