Using Failures as Stepping Stones






Nobody likes to fail, but it is just a part of life.  Sometimes we like to think that if we achieve enough success, we will stop experiencing failures.  But it's just the opposite!  The more you try to achieve, the more failure you will experience.  It's the people who learn to use failures as stepping stones and not stumbling blocks to reach their goals that are most successful.

The Comfort Zone Paradox


Most people go through their lives doing everything they can to stay in their comfort zone because they believe it is a less painful way to live.  The paradox is that if you try to stay in your comfort zone, it doesn't stay the same size; it gets smaller.  Likewise, if you try and leave your comfort zone, it gets bigger.

Make A Blueprint For The Person You Want To Be




If you are going to build the house of your dreams, you first start by making a blueprint... 
In order to become what you have always dreamed of, you first need to create the blueprint of the person you want to be.

To do this you could write out a detailed paragraph, make a list, or put together a collage of pictures - the format doesn't matter.  But what matters is that you read your description or look at it on a daily basis.  The writer Ralph Waldo Emerson once said "A man is what he thinks about all day long".  The more you think about what you dream about becoming, the sooner it will become reality.
