A major part of being successful involves being positive. Thinking of success and picturing yourself as being successful builds up your self-confidence - and this confidence combines with positive thought to succeed at whatever you want to accomplish and get the absolute most out of your life. The most critical key to success is maintaining the belief that you have the ability to accomplish any goal to you set out to do.
Our every thought shapes how we feel about something, and each thought contributes to our behaviour and hence the outcome of any given situation. So, if we go into any situation thinking negatively, the outcome will be far different than if we'd gone in thinking more positively. How we think about ourselves as well as our internal self talk determines how successful we will be. And by talking to ourselves more positively, and thinking more positively in general, better outcomes are destined to arise from the situations we enter. Unfortunately, those negative self-limiting thoughts lead us to most of our failures. As we allow negativity to creep into our minds and take over, we increasingly believe we just won't be able to succeed.
So you can see that, to change the circumstances of our lives, or just the outcome of any given situation, what we need to change is how we think, which repaints our outlook to a different, sunnier shade - and a sunnier shade tends to be the dawn of a better day.
Success isn't something belonging only to an elite club who possess some magical key not availed to the rest of us. The power of success resides in everyone, so long as we realize this and genuinely have the belief that we're able to be successful. When we begin to alter our formerly-negative ways of thinking, and take a positive approach to our lives, we begin to gradually reshape our lives in the direction we want them to go.
An excellent way to change your personal thought patterns is through the use of affirmations. These are nothing more than statements that are tailored to a situation or task in which you want to be successful. You repeat them often during the day (either silently or out loud), and retrain your mind to become more positive. And as you begin to think successfully, you will become a more successful person in any and every area of your life.

Our Deepest Fear
A Speech By Nelson Mandela
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light ,not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask ourselves,who am I to be gorgeous,talented,fabulous? Actually who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure about you
.We were all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine we give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

How to Build Self-Discipline Fast - The Key to Success
Napoleon Hill once also said that "all things are possible" with self-discipline and after spending a lifetime studying successful people he knows what he's talking about. So if you're struggling to achieve your goals here's how to increase your level of self-discipline and start achieving the things you want in life...
Moods, Appetites and Passions
Self-discipline is the ability to get yourself to take action regardless of your emotional state. As Stephen R. Covey once wrote, "the undisciplined are slaves to moods, appetites and passions", and without self-discipline the knowledge, skill or opportunity you have is likely to be of little or no use. Put it this way, if you're trying to lose weight there's no point in knowing all the right and wrong things to eat and the most effective exercise regimes if you have no self-discipline to put them into action!
So how can you increase your level of self-discipline? In this 3-part series I'm going to take you through the key steps to increasing your level of self-discipline so that you can start taking action regardless of how you feel.
Step 1: Self-Knowledge
Discipline is about doing what is best for yourself regardless of how you feel in the moment, so it's important to have a clear sense of self-knowledge and awareness in order to practice self-discipline effectively.
To do this you need to decide what behaviour is required to achieve your goals and values. The first step for most people in doing this is to spend some quality time analysing what your goals and values actually are.
Regarding values, these are the emotional states you would like to experience on a consistent basis and your list of values reflects the one's you WANT in your life rather than the ones you think you SHOULD have. As most of my clients will tell you, values are far more complex than a short list of words that roll off the end of your tongue, so if you'd like to know more about how to determine your values simply send me an email.
I highly recommend taking the time to get clear on what your goals, dreams and ambitions are, and the values that are important to you - this crucial information provides the backbone to determining what needs to be done in order to achieve your goals and therefore where you need to apply self-discipline.
Step 2: Commitment

Step 2: Commitment
I'm sure it comes as no surprise that it's not enough to simply write out your goals and values, you need to be committed to achieving them. If you're not committed you won't see any problem with "having another drink", "hitting the snooze button one more time" or "popping out for that last cigarette" .... you get the drift!
Planning helps increase commitment because it allows you to focus on what's really important and ensure that relevant tasks becomes part of your day allowing you to move closer to achieving your goals. Put bluntly, people don't generally get what they want by ambling through life, hoping, wishing and waiting - it takes commitment and organisation to get there.
If you struggle with commitment, start by making a conscious decision to do what you say you're going to do, and plan a specific time in your schedule to get it done. Give that time the same respect you would a client meeting, and keep track of how often you follow-through with your commitments. Remember - what gets measured gets improved!http://www.outshineconsulting.com.au/Download.htm
