10 Ways to Achieve Everything You Desire in Life

There is a multitude of ways to achieve everything you desire in life but success requires consistent daily steps to continue moving forward toward your goals and objectives.

I’ve always been a strong proponent of developing daily habits for success.  Successful people are committed to the long haul and are more process-oriented than driven by mere results.  Our thought life is also crucial for our success as we journey through our days, weeks, months, and years.  As we close out this year, 2016, there are a lot of negative elements that are vying for our time and may derail our efforts to achieve our goals.  I was browsing through an article from Success Magazine and found this article containing 10 tips to achieve everything you desire in life by Inga Stasiulionyte an Olympian athlete and javelin thrower who competed at the Beijing Olympic Games during her 20-year career.

1. Focus on commitment, not motivation.

Just how committed are you to your goal? How important is it for you, and what are you willing to sacrifice in order to achieve it? If you find yourself fully committed, motivation7 will follow.

2. Seek knowledge, not results.

If you focus on the excitement of discovery, improving, exploring, and experimenting, your motivation will always be fueled. If you focus only on results, your motivation will be like weather—it will die the minute you hit a storm. So the key is to focus on the journey, not the destination. Keep thinking about what you are learning along the way and what you can improve.

3. Make the journey fun.

It’s an awesome game! The minute you make it serious, there’s a big chance it will start carrying a heavy emotional weight and you will lose perspective and become stuck again.

4. Get rid of stagnating thoughts.

Thoughts influence feelings and feelings determine how you view your work.8 You have a lot of thoughts in your head, and you always have a choice of which ones to focus on: the ones that will make you emotionally stuck (fears, doubts) or the ones that will move you forward (excitement, experimenting, trying new things, stepping out of your comfort zone).

5. Use your imagination.

The next step after getting rid of negative thoughts is to use your imagination. When things go well, you are full of positive energy, and when you are experiencing difficulties, you need to be even more energetic. So rename your situation. If you keep repeating I hate my work, guess which feelings those words will evoke? It’s a matter of imagination! You can always find something to learn even from the worst boss in the world at the most boring job. I have a great exercise for you: Just for three days, think and say positive things only. See what happens.
