As we stand ready to set goals and embark on a brand new year it is important to get this vital point.

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.

“Whatever you see on the screen of life, was first seen in your mind. If you don’t like that you see, change the reel of film, change your attitude, change your thoughts, and you change your world.”
~ Wally ‘Famous’ Amos

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.

There is one simple way to start deliberately creating what you want.

1. Decide what you want.
2. Get a picture of it.
3. Focus on that ideal picture as much as you can.

In addition keep your mind off of problems and obstacles that stand in the way.

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.

All to often people see what they lack and they spend all of their time thinking and talking about what is missing.

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.

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’t want.

You see it is your habits that make the difference between you living a life of successfully accomplishing one goal after another or suffering through a life of constant mediocrity.

It’s one thing to have a habit of  watching television after dinner every evening until your wife eventually comes in, wakes you up and tells you to get off the couch and come to bed.

However a habit of taking a brisk walk around the nieghborhood after dinner is quite a different story.

Which habit do you think will contribute more to your ability to keep the excess weight off?

Those are two different habits that yield to opposite results. And yet they are both easy to do. But they are also easy not to do.

Do the little things daily that will contribute to you achieving your goals and you will find it a great deal easier to live the life of your dreams.

Success is predicated upon your habits. Good habits yield positive results and bad ones lead to unhappiness and failure.

Most people fail by default. If you do not take the time to develop habits which lead to realizing your dreams then you are settling for whatever comes your way.

You will find that if you take an active role in determining which habits you want to cultivate and which ones you want to drop then you see that you have a great deal of control over your future.

People do not fail or succeed because of luck or random circumstances. It is their daily habits that dictate that failure or success.

For success in any endeavor you must control your thoughts. The thoughts that you allow to occupy the valuable real estate within your mind will make or break you.

Positive thinking holds power. What you focus on grows, so if you maintain positive expectancy as you take the proper action towards your goals you will realize success. We tend to eventually get what we expect.

If you constantly think about your problems then you are destined to get more of them.

As the great car maker, Henry Ford once said, “Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off of your goal.” When you constantly look at the pitfalls and roadblocks you become discouraged. You stop yourself before you get started.

You may even make mistakes. But don’t let that stop you either. Learn from them and move on.

All setbacks and obstacles are not permanent. So do not let the temporary negative situations deter you. They will pass. You have got to expect to win in order to actually succeed.

Our thoughts form the foundation of our reality. In essence we are where we are, because of our thoughts. And out thoughts become things. Since we are always thinking it is vital that you control the direction of your thoughts.

Focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want. Don’t allow the pessimistic news that surrounds you determine your attitude or your outlook on life. Instead keep your attention centered on what you want.

Work as though what you desire is entirely possible. Picture what you want in your mind and then take steps to work towards manifesting that mental picture in your reality.

Setting goals and achieving them has benefits which extend beyond you actually experiencing success and receiving what you want. You gain skills that you did not have before. You get experiences that you can apply to future tasks. And most importantly you become a better person.

It is not what you come by hitting your goals it is the person that you become that matters most.

Some people set a goal to become rich. They sacrifice all else to become wealthy. In the process they may lose their family, their health and their good name. They end up a rich person, but they are not happy. Because they have become a person who has money but in the process they have lost the other things that matter most.

When you set a goal be sure you  do so with the thought of who you plan on becoming.

Your success is determined by how well who you really are matches up with how you see yourself. If you see yourself as a winner and you are pursuing a goal which makes you a winner then you will feel successful.

Identify the person that you would like to be. And set your goals around this identity. You will certainly enjoy the ride and you will like the person that you become in the process.

The road to achieving your goals may appear blocked at times. It may seem like you cannot accomplish your objectives because there are too many hurdles to overcome. Here are three ways to overcome obstacles and hit your goals.

Future
Focus on you future and not your past. If you allow your past mistakes to stay at the forefront of your mind you will continue to make more mistakes.
However if you focus on what you want and where you are going then you will maintain a brighter outlook. Your expectancy levels will rise as a result of you thinking about what you want instead of what you don’t want.

Positive
Focus on the positive and not the negative. We are always experiencing both negative and positive situations in our lives. What happens to you does not matter nearly as much as how you react to what happens to you.
If you look for the benefits in your situation then you will discover opportunities that could have easily gone unnoticed.

Strengths
Focus on your strengths and not your weaknesses. When you face a roadblock that is hindering you from reaching your goals do not worry about your weaknesses. Think instead about the strengths that you possess.
Use your strong suits to overcome the obstacle. Get coaching or knowledge which will enhance your abilities to get past hurdles that stand in your way.

You have more control over your situation than you realize. You can succeed at overcoming challenges if you focus your attention in the right direction. It takes a little practice, but once this becomes you main approach to problem solving you will find it easier to eliminate roadblocks on the way to achieving your goals.
