  1. Before you ever hope to achieve anything you need to create a dream, a vision of what exactly you want. Your dream needs to be clear in your mind as it is this image that will drive you to succed in achieving it. If you are unclear, as you may well be, what you want then you can't even get started. So create your dream and know what your heart most desires.
  2. Forget what has passed. Your dream does not depend on what happened before but what you do from now on. Your history, your background is not something which decides if you can succeed. For example, some people see themselves as having a disadvantage and even persuade themselves that success is more difficult for them because of their race, their age or whatever else they believe limits them. The truth is it is not your age or anything else that limits you but what you think.

    An example of this is Colonel Sanders of KFC fame. You know the old guy who invented the recipe for KFC chicken and made millions. He didn't see his age as a problem and he completely changed what he was doing and made a fortune. He actually started selling chicken when he was 40. He had started working 22 years before that and got fired a couple of times. He had a short and limited career in the army and was not a Colonel. This was an honorary title given to him byt the State of Kentucky due to his accomplishments in business.
  3. Work doing something you love. If you do this it won't seem like work at all. Try the opposite, (many people do just that, they hate their job),  and see how difficult it s to make a success of it.
  4. Have confidence and belief in yourself. This is also related to your self esteem. Believing you can reach the dreams and goals you set yourself is half the battle.
  5. Be prepared to give first and what you give will pay back tenfold. Don't expect others to give you and think that the take mentality will get you anywhere. Always think how you can help others and they will thank you in kind. Business and personal life work in the same way. Those who take all the time are never successful. Take your time and give of yourself and you will be rewarded.
  6. Learn from your mistakes and be happy that you made them for they have shown you what doesn't work which brings you closer to knowing what does. If you see mistakes as necessary steps to learning and improving then you will never fear failure. This means you will never avoid doing what is necessary in case it doesn't work. Learn every day from the lessons that life gives you. This is the true path to success and achieving your goals.
  7. Developing new and creative ideas continues on from the above. To do this you need to dream and take chances. Maybe your ideas won't work at first but if you persist you may create something truly original and what could be more successful than that?
  8. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. No-one can know everything. The person who never asks for help and goes it alone is often low in self esteem and afraid of looking weak or stupid. Admit your weaknesses and accept you need to learn more. Cooperation is one of the cornerstones of reaching your dreams. Maybe someone you know may share your dream and help you to achieve it quicker than you ever could on your own so don't be afraid to ask for help.
  9. Be positive whenever you can. Mistakes, as wehave said, are a part of the journey towards achieving your goals and without positivity you may give up before you succeed. Attitude is everything.
  10. Don't be selfish while chasing your dreams. Help others to succeed and want others to be successful. If you are jealous of others' success or if you want others to fail you build everything on negative emotions and trap yourself in failure. This is in tune with no.5 above that you should give first. Don't be so concerned with only yourself and you will open yourself to the benefits of cooperation and friendship.

There is so much more I could have added to this list but the important thing is to concentrate on the points above and you'll soon start moving forward. As long as you are positive and honest with yourself and have self belief then you can achieve anything you want. Know this and take action to create the future you deserve. Good luck!

"Stephen - "Those who take all the time are never successful."

I mean that the people who just take from others without giving are never successful. It is those who give to others who are most successful. You should give your best to the world and help others first."

 

Karl Perera commented on 02/13/2013:

"Really it is very practical but its fully work when we are in normal or good condition its not mean its not work in bad condition but not equal in when we are in good condition.
I think if we Learn this in good condition so we face bad condition.
But Life is a unique thing we only customize it?"

Only the ones that help others can find a treasure of knowing what happiness means and comes from giving ourselves to others. Not everybody can write about it and even put it into practice. May God continue to bless you every day of your life. Thanks so much."
