Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life: How to Unlock Your Full Potential for Success and Achievement

IT’S A WONDERFUL WORLD
We are living in a wonderful world today, probably the best period
in all of human history. You are surrounded by more opportunities
and possibilities to achieve your dreams than have ever existed be-
fore. There are no limits to what you can accomplish except for the
limits that you put on yourself with your own thinking.
The feeling of learned helplessness and the lure of the comfort
zone are the two major mental obstacles to changing your thinking,
dreaming big dreams, and setting big goals for yourself.
The way to overcome fear and ignorance is with desire and
knowledge. The two qualities that flow out of intense desire and in-
creased knowledge are the courage and the confidence you need to
do whatever is necessary to achieve anything you really want.
You translate your dreams into concrete realities by turning
them into goals. You decide exactly what you want, write it down,
set a deadline, and determine the efforts you are going to have to
make to achieve it. Make written plans of action to achieve your
goal and then do something every day to move toward it. Resolve in
advance that you will never, ever give up.
