Yes we all want to be successful, and we’re all potential winners. So why are successful people still in the minority? That’s because most of us don’t have a clear roadmap to guide us towards personal success. You want success, but do you understand why you want it? What does success mean to you? How will success, as you define it, benefit you and those around you? Only when you get into the nitty-gritty will the path towards success become clearer.

Success is the end result, that one big goal, but before we can get there, we need to break that one big goal down into smaller and closer goals and plans that will help us achieve those goals. What are manageable tasks you can do each day that will bring you closer to your success? Come up with a daily list. Checking off your list gives you a sense of achievement and keeps you motivated. And don’t be downtrodden if you fail to achieve a goal. As someone once said, “It’s not a tragedy not to achieve a goal; it’s a tragedy not to have that goal to achieve in the first place.”

Before you can achieve your goal, you need to have the belief that you deserve to have what you are going for. Whether it’s monetary or otherwise - you deserve it. And understand the reasons for those goals; knowing why your goals exist makes you want them even more, you’ll need this desire.
Next you need a plan of action. Detail exactly how your objectives will be met. And reward yourself when you achieve a certain goal. This will motivate you towards your next goal. If star footballers weren’t paid obscene amounts of money for the goals they score, they’d find it that much harder to perform in the next match.

Keep re-evaluating your goals. Just because your objective is valid today doesn’t mean it will remain relevant tomorrow. Assess your circumstances and tweak accordingly. You may even add new goals. Think of this as planting more seeds for greater chances of success.

And don’t make the mistake of thinking that you should achieve success all by yourself. There are many resources you could use to keep yourself on the right track - you can read more self-improvement books, attend seminars, collaborate with a partner, or even get yourself a coach or a mentor. How you go about it is up to you.

Remember as long as you keep learning you will keep achieving. And even if your final goal isn’t reached, the process of learning and achieving itself is a definition of success.

Negative people do not find solutions to their problems in life and instead they enlarge their problems further. They prefer lamentation, gossip and pessimism. It is better to light a match than to regret in darkness. A bee is small, but it produces one of the sweetest things that exist on earth. We are what we think. The negative thought generates negative energy that is transformed into illness and deteriorates our health.

The more we focus on the “bad” or negative things around us, the more our thoughts and behaviour work towards an undesirable outcome. But if we change our focus to the good things of life - the positives - there is an above average chance that things will get much better. Negatives fill our emotional bucket quickly and before we know it, they are spilling all over ourselves and those around us. Isn’t it far more logical to fill our bucket with positives? The people around us are sure to be much more receptive to any spillage the might occur.

If your optimism is taking a beating, try saving some time for yourself and writing down the good things in your life - the things you enjoy and appreciate. Start with the fact that you even woke up this morning, then go from there. No matter how bad your situation is, if you try just a little you’ll have plenty of items on our list. Keep the list handy and add to it as you think of other things. There will always be days when your list will come in handy to give you a pick-me-up “push”.

By three methods we may learn wisdom in our daily life :

First, by reflection on the things we have done or said, which is noblest;

Second, by imitation on other people’s success, which is the easiest; and

Thirdly by gaining experience from our setback or failures, which is the bitterest.

A stroke of LUCK can allow you to accomplish a goal every once in a while, but consistent achievement happens only if you love what you are doing. You don’t get to control any outcome, only every choice you make along the way. It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.

Achieve success in any area of life by identifying the optimum strategies and repeating them until they become habits. Remember that, MONEY will come to you when you are doing the right thing…….

A woman rushed into the supermarket to pick up a few items. She
headed for the express line where the clerk was talking on the
phone with his back turned to her.

“Excuse me,” she said, “I’m in a hurry. Could you check me out,
please?”

The clerk turned, stared at her for a second, looked her up and
down, smiled and said, “Not bad.”

The trick to recovering your losses is to start by winning small. Most traders make the terrible mistake of punting huge on the “flavour of the day” counters in the hope that they can recover from their earlier losses. Unfortunately, the mindset is not primed to win anymore e.g. If they see a gain, they will sell too early, or wait until too late when the stocks reverse their earlier gains back into losses.

Sadly, most of the time, they tend to lose even more. So stay out until you are mentally prepared and psyche up again. I need not remind you that you are also up against the profession traders in the market whose livelihoods depend on outsmarting the novice and retail traders.

The fastest way to get back on track is to start a residual income. It may not give your hefty gains at the start, but will provide a steady flow of consistent income.

Now with the bad times just around the corner, while you are considering earning a second income, do check out EmalCashPro.

It was time for Father John’s Saturday night bath, and young
nun, Sister Magdalene had prepared the bath water and towels
just the way the old nun had instructed.

Sister Magdalene was also instructed not to look at Fr.
John’s nakedness if she could help it, do whatever he told her
to do, and pray.

The next morning the old nun asked Sister Magdalene how the
Saturday nightbath had gone.

“Oh, sister,” said the young nun dreamily. “I’ve been saved.”

“Saved? And how did that fine thing come about?” asked the
old nun.

“Well, when Fr. John was soaking in the tub, he asked me to
wash him, and while I was washing him he guided my hand
down between his legs where he said the Lord keeps the Key
to Heaven.”

“Did he now?” said the old nun evenly.

Sister Magdalene continued, “And Fr. John said that if the Key
to Heaven fit my lock, the portals of Heaven would be opened
to me and I would be assured of salvation and eternal peace.
And then Father John guided his Key to Heaven into my lock.”

“Is that a fact?” said the old nun even more evenly.

“At first it hurt terribly, but Fr. John said the pathway to
salvation was often painful and that the glory of God would
soon swell my heart with ecstasy. And it did, it felt so good
being saved.”

“That wicked old Devil!” said the old nun. “He told me it was
Gabriel’s Horn, and I’ve been blowing it for 40 years!”

Trading in the stock markets is a lot like life that we live each day. We can become “traumatized” by losses and setbacks and find it difficult to get back up. It can be emotionally overwhelming. If one is single and has a string of bad dates or rejections, for example, he or she is less likely to go out again. The disappointment just hurts too much. From an evolutionary perspective, it is quite adaptive. If you touch a hot stove and get burned, you would be foolish to touch it again. The human mind evolved to avoid risks and to protect the human in the long run.

If you are afraid to get hurt, you hesitate. The best way to reduce fear is to trade with money you can afford to lose, manage risk so that you know you can handle the worst-case scenario, and take your ego out of the picture. A trade is just a trade. The outcome should not define who you are as a person. The more a trader imbues a trade with psychological significance, the harder it will be to execute the trade. When your ego is on the line with your money, you will choke under the strain.

Trading coaches strongly suggest limiting losses to only 10% on any stock investment before closing off your positions and only trading with money you can afford to lose. In that manner, you can still conserve 90% of your investment capital to look for other stocks to make back those losses. Remember that if you have no more “bullet” to fire, then how can you fight another battle with other market participants in the stock markets later on….?

Most people never feel secure because they are always worried that they will lose their job, lose the money they already have, lose their spouse, lose their health, and so on. The only true security in life comes from knowing that every single day you are improving yourself in some way, that you are increasing the caliber of who you are and that you are valuable to your company, your friends, and your family.
