A step by step tool for top achievers

Step 7: Learn to Like the Things That Need to be Done
Some things need to be done whether we like them or not; for example, mothers caring
for their young. They may not be fun and games, and may even be painful. But if we
learn to like the task, the impossible becomes possible.
Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the
impossible.
--St. Francis of Assisi
Step 8: Start Your Day with a Positive
Read or listen to something positive first thing in the morning. After a good night's sleep
we are relaxed and our subconscious is receptive. It sets the tone for the day, and puts
us in the right frame of mind to make every day a positive day. In order to bring about
change, we
need to make a conscious effort Andre committed to make positive thoughts and
behavior part of our lives. Practice having positive thoughts and behavior daily until they
become a habit.
William James of Harvard University said, "If you are going to change your life, you need
to start immediately and do it flamboyantly."
