<p>Anthony D Carter</p>
<p>As we stand ready to set goals and embark on a brand new year it is important to get this vital point.</p>
<p>What we focus on grows. Whether it be problems or successes, if we focus on them we will continue to receive more of the same. The law of attraction states: Like attracts like.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;Whatever you see on the screen of life, was first seen in your mind. If you don&#8217;t like that you see, change the reel of film, change your attitude, change your thoughts, and you change your world.&#8221;<br />
~ Wally &#8216;Famous&#8217; Amos</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Like the laws of gravity, this law is always working. However most people live their lives in a way that causes the law of attraction to seemingly work against them rather than for them.</p>
<p>There is one simple way to start deliberately creating what you want.</p>
<ol>
<li>Decide what you want.</li>
<li>Get a picture of it.</li>
<li>Focus on that ideal picture as much as you can.</li>
</ol>
<p>In addition keep your mind off of problems and obstacles that stand in the way.</p>
<p>Do not give your attention to the challenges on a consistent basis. Instead maintain your focus on your ideal picture. Recognize the solutions as they present themselves and see them as one more step that you are taking to getting what you want.</p>
<p>All to often people see what they lack and they spend all of their time thinking and talking about what is missing.</p>
<p>Switch that! Think and talk about what is right. Maintain your focus on these things and you will move steadily in the receiving mode. Once you are in a receiving mode you will begin to attract more and more of what you want.</p>
<p>Your focus will determine your success. So guard your thoughts and you attention. Keep your attention focused on what you want and off of what you don&#8217;t want.</p>

<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1226" title="set_goals" src="http://www.anthonydcarter.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/077_Douglass_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" width="420" height="315" />Successful living requires you to pick a chief major aim. In order to live a fulfilling, exciting and well rounded life you need a goal. You may have a general idea of what it is that you want to accomplish, but that is only the beginning.</p>
<p>If you want your results to improve tremendously set a goal and dedicate yourself to idea of making it a successful accomplishment.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;The establishment of a clear,central purpose or goal in life is the starting point of all success.&#8221; ~ Brian Tracy</em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Some of us have general, vague ideas of what we would like to have. We call these goals when in reality they are not really goals at all. They aren&#8217;t even dreams. They are just things that we want.</p>
<p>If you desire to see a dream fulfilled in your life the best way to make that happen is to set a goal to have what you want.</p>
<p>Once you set the goal you establish the direction that your life is going to take. You will feel an immediate sense of control.</p>
<p>This  leads to happiness and fulfillment. You don&#8217;t even have to hit the goal in order to gain a confidence, skill, and success.</p>
<p>But as you apply diligent effort on a well thought out plan you will begin to move towards the successful achievement of your chief major aim in life.</p>
<p>The process of setting a goal is vital. Once you do commit to experiencing the eventual realization of your goal you will gain instant happiness.</p>
<p>This one act of establishing direction and purpose for your life will set you apart from everyone else. It will give you the exitement that many people are missing in thier lives today.</p>
<p>When you have a clearly identified goal it helps your motivation, your attitude and it gives you a high level of consistent energy.</p>
<p>And now I would like for you to discover the keys to getting motivated-Learn to <strong>eliminate procrastination, increase drive &amp; gain the initiative to go after your goals!</strong></p>

<p>The successful achievement of our goals is totally within our control.</p>
<div>This is great news. Our success is dictated by our work ethic and our attitude. And these are two things that we have complete control over.</div>
<blockquote>
<div></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>&#8220;If it is to be&#8230; it&#8217;s up to me!&#8221; ~ Johnsen, William</strong></em></div>
</blockquote>
<div>If we are willing to do what ever it takes to hit our goals then it&#8217;s just a matter of time before we will achieve them</div>
<div>It&#8217;s just a matter of making a decision to pursue a dream or goal and the committing to doing the work.</div>
<div></div>
<p><strong>In that sense, our fate is in our hands. </strong></p>
<div></div>
<div>Success does not have to be complicated.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>SUCCESS BEGINS WITH A DECISION! </strong></div>
<div>
<div>Once you make a decision to move in a certain direction and you commit to doing what it takes to achieve your dreams you are already successful.</div>
<div>Success is the progressive realization of a worthy dream, goal, or ideal. As long as you are still in the hunt you in the succeeding.</div>
</div>
<div>That is a reason to be happy now. You don&#8217;t have to wait until you get something or you arrive at your desired destination. You can be happy that you are on the road to achieving your dreams.</div>
<div><strong> </strong></div>
<div><strong>You&#8217;ve made a decision to succeed if&#8230;</strong></div>
<div>
- You spend all of your available time working</div>
<div>        on your goals&#8230;<br />
- <strong>You think about your dream all of the time</strong>&#8230;<br />
- You&#8217;re motivated to do what needs to</div>
<div>        done and you do it&#8230; <strong>No Excuses!</strong></div>
<div>Can you check off these three indicators?</p>
<p>If not, leave your comments. Let me know where you&#8217;re struggling.</p></div>

<p>Self confidence plays a major role in success. If you doubt yourself you tend to live down to your expectations. A high level of belief will propel you when talent is lacking.</p>
<p>Improve your confidence and you will notice major improvements in your results. It all begins with a solid belief in yourself.</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;Whether you think that you can, or that you can&#8217;t, you are usually right.&#8221; ~ Henry Ford</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Some of the most successful people alive today are among the most confident. Confidence is not conceit or arrogance. Actually people who display these types of character flaws have an underlying problem with insecurity.</p>
<p>If you do not have confidence there are several ways to build it. You can monitor your thoughts. Are you regularly thinking about your failures or do you focus on your successes?</p>
<p>Train yourself to keep a positive outlook on life by dwelling on what is going right in your life.</p>
<p>Another way to build your confidence entails using your words to control the direction of your thoughts. Some call this self-talk or affirmations.</p>
<p>Speak in terms of already having what you want. Make statements which support your dream. Keep your mind on what you are attempting to accomplish by talking about it in a positive manner. The more you do this the higher your belief level will soar.</p>
<p>And lastly spend time with people who admire you and believe in you. This could be your best friend, an aunt or an uncle. These people will continue to believe in you even when you do not. In due time their belief will be transferred onto you.</p>
<p>You can improve the amount of self confidence that you have if you work on it. The benefits that you will gain makes the price worth whatever you have to pay in order to succeed with your major aspirations. You will accomplish your endeavors if you first believe in yourself.</p>
