When you are positive, you push away the negativity. And when you are negative, you cut off the positivity.  In the first case, the mind is clear as water: the ideas are clear, the solutions are ordered and logical. In the second case, is more like petroleum. Black and dense, and the ideas are a condensation of problems without solution.  One piece of advice, be positive to have clear ideas. Only later, work on those ideas to become the best version of yourself.

The magic formula for achieving your dreams is to believe that your dreams can come true. It looks like a Disney fairytale and, yet, it is.  How can you even think about achieving your goal if you don't believe it 100%? From the small desire to the greatest, believing in what you do is the fuel that drives the car towards your goal.

We always have to appreciate what we have and who we are. If you do not appreciate what you have you are going to look for something bigger. But if you appreciate it, you finally understand the real value of what you already have. Appreciate what you have and keep your focus on your future.  What are you going to do in your life? it is up to you!  At the end of the story, it is always up to you.  You can't blame the past anymore, and you can't wish to become another person. It is you against you. The winner is the person you want to become.

In the end, the human being always tends to choose two final tracks.  Achieve success or Give up. From the smallest things, like finding the TV remote where you always lose to building an empire that can support you financially.   It doesn't matter how big or small the goal is. What matters is how stubborn you are to reach it.

What to do when you feel bored?  If you feel tired, weak, and bored with your life, I recommend changing direction. Your purpose is to find happiness no matter how right or wrong can be the situation.  Your purpose is to find happiness.  But to find happiness, you have to find yourself first, and finding yourself is a journey that requires patience and courage, that courage that allows us to fail and rise stronger.   Only in this way, you´ll find a better version of yourself.

The truth is that no one is born learned.  There is always someone better than you and, at the same time, you are more or less better than others. So competing with other people becomes pointless at this point, which is why you should only compete with yourself.  To compete with yourself and become better, you have to accept your limits and make sure that these can be your strengths to become remarkable. That person who can differentiate himself from others.

What are you capable of doing to get your goal? Someone just focuses on perfecting what they already know. Other people focus on doing what comes easiest for them. There are others who want to do something but believe they are not able. It doesn't matter which category you belong in. One thing the 3 categories have in common is the consistency, if they want, to reach the pinnacle to become someone who matters. So be consistent to reach this peak and don't give up.

The ability to learn from what's wrong will make you strong. And besides, without fighting, we are not learning. If you like to get your job, your dream, finish your favorite game, you have to learn to take hits.   You have to be persistent and brave, you have to learn to fight, and today this is a problem because we live in a world of laziness.  So get up and work for your dreams.

There is a Russian saying:   ̈pavtorini met ucigna ̈. This means: repetition is the mother of learning.  After the first attempt in learning, repeat it until you are satisfied, and if it is going to work after several failures, repeat it to make it better.  If you focus too much on the goal without repeating the same actions over time, you will not achieve it. Repetition is one of the keys to transforming your life, and it will start moving you quickly toward your success.

We give up too early.  When we were children, we were more disciplined. Think of all the times you fell off your bike. Think of all the times you had to drown to learn to swim.  Now, we see everything as an insuperable obstacle.  The truth is that your dream is too weak, and you are too lazy to hit your head against a wall.  So, if you want to do something, work for it and do not give up.

Celebrate where you have come so far.  It can be big or small achievements. It does not matter. When you celebrate achieving whatever has happened to you, you are grateful for that event, and the universe rewards you by giving you even more. So never despise or ignore what you have achieved because they are the foundation of what you can achieve in the future.

Persistence, Discipline, and Consistency is the formula to get anything you desire in your life.  Once you apply this method, you will get whatever you want to do.  Also, this type of mindset has allowed me to reach infinite levels of awareness about my person, becoming a better version of myself. Be Persistent, Be Disciplined, Be consistent. You will not regret it.

It means that: if you want to achieve your goal, you shouldn´t quit. You have to persist. It doesn´t matter how many times you fall. It means that if you like to be that version of yourself, you have to give value every day, every minute, doing the same thing every time, until you´ll get your dream.

Today I would like to mention some examples of being persistent.  If you like to be a footballer, you have to train yourself every day, so you have to be persistent.  If you want to become a teacher, you have to study every day, which means you have to be persistent. A singer, a doctor...  It doesn't matter what you want to become. Persistence is essential to achieve any goal, regardless of whether your dream is big or small. 

Being ready before you start is a fairy tale for lazy people. Think about it, what are you waiting for? That some angel comes down from heaven to tell you what you are capable of doing or not? Or are you waiting for someone to appear in your dream to tell you what to do? It is time to act and make mistakes now. It is time to achieve whatever you have in mind and, if you don´t know yet, just explore what the world can offer you.  Whatever Your Mind Can Conceive and Believe, It Can Achieve. So, start now and make no more excuses.

Without a good dose of discipline, you have less concentration, and consequently, this leads to more distraction. And more distraction leads to a lot more time wasted.  In short, without discipline, you will never reach your goal. You can also be a person who organizes his time well, but if this organization is not related to greater discipline, you will never achieve great goals. So instead of figuring out how to organize your time, focus on optimizing the time you have to achieve your goals.

When you think about your goal, imagine your brain as a train. Each train has a terminus, an end. But before reaching the end, each train makes several stops, which are small goals. You are the train: a constant engine that progresses over time, ready to reach the end of the track.  So, to reach your final dream, think about all the stops you can make before reaching the end because every great goal needs small steps to move forward.

To achieve your goals, you don't have to spend 12 hours of your time. When you are disciplined, you establish rules that you can methodically perform every day. If your goal is to get up at 7 in the morning every day for 1 hour for a great workout, do it every day, and you will see results. It is the same for losing weight or getting money. There is no difference. So from today, instead of sleeping and complaining, get up early or go to bed late to achieve your dreams.

When things go wrong for you, when you think you have given your best and you understand that there is nothing, wrongly, you can do, remember this sentence by T. Edison:  ¨I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work." So, before you give up on your dreams, before abandoning your goals, think about how many times you can fail and how many more you can learn from these failures. Make the failure be your favorite teacher who teaches you to become the best version of yourself.
