Take Action and Get Motivated!

W
hen you make a clear, unequivocal decision that you are going
to take complete control over your mind, eliminate the negative
emotions and thoughts that may have held you back in the past,
and become a completely positive person, you can actually bring about your
own personal transformation.

Mental fitness is like physical fitness. You develop high levels of self-esteem and
a positive attitude with training and practice.

Perhaps the most powerful ability that you have is the ability to visualize and see
your goals as already accomplished. Create a clear, exciting picture of your goal
and your ideal life, and replay this picture in your mind over and over.

“Take charge! You feel positive about


yourself to the exact degree to which you
feel you are in control of your life.”
— Brian Tracy

All improvement in your life begins with an improvement in your mental pictures.
As you “see” yourself on the inside, you will “be” on the outside.

Remember, whatever you expect with confidence seems to come into your life.
Since you can control your expectations, you should always expect the best.

Expect to be successful. Expect to be popular when you meet new people. Expect
to achieve great goals and create a wonderful life for yourself. When you constantly
expect good things to happen, you will seldom be disappointed.
