Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 How to Achieve Great Things by Jane “You’re as great as your thoughts.†Imagine your ideal self – a person filled with health, happiness and prosperity. Imagine living the life of your dreams. This life is not as distant or unreachable as it may seem. You are a reflection of your thoughts. If you think you can do great things, you will. If you think you can’t, you won’t. For change to happen you need to enlarge your thoughts. You need to hold a vision of yourself that will carry you through adversity and give you the strength to climb mountains. So, hold your ideal self in your thoughts. Stay true to it. You will become as great as what you hold in your mind. For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don't enjoy getting upand working and finishing your work and sitting down to a mealwith family or friends, then the chances are you're not goingto be very happy. If someone bases his or her happiness or unhappinesson major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money,a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn't goingto be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness dependson a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap,then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness. Andy Rooney Richness in the challenges It may be inconvenient, yet you can do it. It may be frustrating or complicated, time-consuming and tedious, and yet you can do it. You know you can achieve what you choose to achieve. You can reach the goals you are most firmly committed to reaching. Sure, life has been unfair to you and you find yourself at a disadvantage. Even so, you still have the powerful advantage of being able to choose where to focus your time, attention and attitude. So instead of focusing on the excuses, focus on how you can make the most of the opportunities now in front of you. Instead of focusing on what has gone wrong, focus on creating new and meaningful value. If you’ve already tried and failed, now is when you can stop merely trying. Now is when you can take a more positive and proactive approach of knowing you can and doing whatever you must. Along the most difficult trails you'll find the most spectacularly beautiful scenery. See the richness that’s hiding in the challenges, and bring that richness to life.
