Look at any person, past or present, who achieved truly great things. People you know. Behind their accomplishments you will undoubtedly find a passion and love for what they do.
That deep emotion can only be aroused by a compelling purpose…
…an idea about what their life is to stand for.
So few people ever take even a few minutes and think about their purpose. Hardly anyone ever asks himself or herself, “What am I here for?” I never asked myself that question until October 1996.

Having spent 20 years living a life of poverty and desperation, including 13 years in federal and state prisons, and now living a life of nearly incomprehensible prosperity, I have learned that long-term suffering is a choice – our mindset will determine whether our suffering remains a temporary or permanent condition.

Being starts with simply being that which you would like to become. Once you mediate and hold the belief within yourself that you are what you would like to be, you start becoming that very thing, from the inside out!

It just drives me crazy to see people that are supposed to be busy doing something, but they’re hiding out. Yeah, I’m like a former smoker who can’t stand the smell anymore.
What I mean is I was the biggest procrastinator you’ve ever met, in my early years. I’d spend an hour trying to get out of half an hour’s work. What a circus. My parents, teachers and employers weren’t very amused. TV was big in my life.
What a shame. What an incredible limiter of life.

Have you ever faced that obstacle and immediately thought, “There’s no way I’ll ever finish this”? What about the days when you’ve stood at the starting line for that foot race and thought, “There’s no way I can beat these guys”: Perhaps you’ve had a great idea and immediately thought, “I’m never going to have the money to do this”!

1) Persistence - Persistence is the fuel that gets done what needs to be done everyday. Persistence comes to us from two sources; either from passion or from persistence itself.
The motivation from persistence itself shows up when you are driven to continue to grow and learn and reach higher on the days when the motivation has waned.
One way to ensure that you are focused everyday is to simply change your philosophy of how you view the day itself. Most of us begin our day with a things to do list. What may prove to be more effective is to create a daily TTWGD list. This stand for; THINGS THAT WILL GET DONE! This simple change of philosophy will create the mindset to complete ALL activities on your list everyday.
