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

STEP SIX: DO SOMETHING EVERY DAY
Do something every day that moves you toward your most impor-
tant goal. This is a vital success principle that generates energy and
enthusiasm. For you to maintain your courage, confidence, and self-
motivation, you must be doing something every single day that gives
you a feeling of forward motion and progress. Your job is to build
yourself up to the point where you genuinely feel 
unstoppable
, and
the only way that you can do this is by refusing to stop, by doing
something daily.

STEP SEVEN: NEVER GIVE UP
Resolve in advance that you will never quit once you have started
toward your goal. No matter how many setbacks or obstacles you
experience, make the decision that you will keep on picking yourself
up and persisting until you eventually succeed.
By deciding in advance that you will persist, no matter what the
difficulty, you give yourself a psychological edge. When the difficul-
ties
do
arise, you will be mentally prepared to plow through them
rather than quitting. Your willingness and ability to persist are what
will eventually guarantee your success.
