“Those who believe they can move mountains, do. Those who believe they can’t, cannot.”- David J. Schwartz, PhD

You can get what you want. You can achieve success in your life. But it comes with a big price. It comes with hard work. It comes with smart work. If you are ready to work hard, you are ready to succeed. Success will come to you if you work really hard. If you think you can succeed without work, if you think you can do great things without work, you are playing with yourself.

Nothing is free. If you want something, you’ve got to work hard to get it. Don’t fear. Don’t doubt yourself. Because if you believe in yourself, there is nothing you cannot do. You can do anything. Don’t worry about how long it is going to take you to get to where you want to be. If you push yourself a little more, you will get there. If you do more work on yourself, you will attract more things into your life. You can do more for yourself. You can do more. You can push yourself a little more. You can do things differently.

To get a better result, you have to work on yourself. Because if you don’t work on yourself, nothing in your life will change. Everything will remain the same. So if you don’t want things to remain the same in your life, you must work on yourself.

According to Aldous Huxley, “One can’t have something for nothing.” Yes, you can’t get something for nothing. It needs your sweat. It needs your money. It needs your brain. You can’t get anything for free. If you are not willing to work for what you want, your life will not change. Wherever you want to go in your life, wishful thinking won’t get you there. Only hard work can get you what you want. Only hard work can make your dreams come true. Without hard work, don’t expect anything to change. Action changes things. If you want to change your life, you must pay the price. You must do the work. You must work on yourself. You must do what you haven’t done before. Make sure your goals are clear enough to keep you going. People don’t move because they don’t know where they are going.

If you want to get from where you are to where you want to be, you must work on yourself.

You Have Within You Everything You Need To Change Yourself

According to Brian Tracy, “You have within you the potential to accomplish wonderful things with your life. Your greatest responsibilities are to dream big dreams, decide exactly what you want, make a plan to achieve it… take action every single day in the direction of your dreams and goals, and resolve to never, never, never give up. When you take these actions, you put yourself on the side of the angels. You become unstoppable and your success becomes inevitable.”

It is your life. You are responsible for making it better than it was yesterday. To do that, you must decide exactly what you want to do with your life. Remember, your dreams are not going to come true just by thinking positively about them. You must take action. You must get out of your comfort zone. You must have the courage to do what you haven’t done before. Positive thinking is good, but not enough to make your dreams come true.

If you want your dreams, your goals to come true, you must do something about them. You must put your dreams in front of you every day. When you do nothing about your dreams, you are actually doing something about them. You are ignoring them. You are closing the door to your success. You are closing the door to your future life. You can change that by doing a little more than you have always done in the past. Your ability to do a little more can change your life. Nothing happens without taking action.

Do not let what happened to you in the past to determine your present life. To do that, you must learn how to guide your mind against negative thoughts. In the words of Nigel Cumberland, “Not allowing what happened in the past to determine your future starts in your mind.” If you want to get to where you want to be, you must do everything within your power to protect your mind from invaders.

If want to achieve your dreams, don’t be afraid to follow your own path. Dan Rockwell writes, “Adopt practices that express who you are to become who you aspire to be.” That is the fastest way to get to where you want to be. The question is: Are you ready to walk alone?
