If I would leave any thought with someone I would say never doubt yourself. No matter what people say, no matter what you may think sometimes, never doubt yourself. If you believe in yourself you will succeed far more than you will fail. He who possesses a quiet kind of faith in his ability to perform a task already has the task half completed.

Believe in yourself despite setbacks, despite the seemingly immovable obstacles, despite the cold and dark, despite the woe and pain, and eventually your faith will come to fruition, and you will find all those troubles behind you.

1. Attitude
   Bloom where you are planted. You have a choice to get back up after temporary set backs. Attitude is a small thing that makes a big difference!



2. Direction
   If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. Write your short term goals down on paper. I have discovered and continue to discover that putting your dreams and goals down on paper lock in or focus your belief that they can be achieved—even if you have to take a course correction in achieving your goals. Success comes in cans, failure comes in can’ts.



3. Values
   Explore what is important to you. Maybe it is family, friends, your spirituality or working hard at any given task. I can assure you that your priorities will change as you grow older. Very important that you value yourself and treat yourself like the valuable gift from God that you are.



4. Interests
   Birds of a feather flock together. This is to say that if you are hanging around winners or others with a “can do” mind-set, you’ll likely adapt to this same kind of thinking. Remember—“SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES!



5. Commitment
   Feelings may change, commitments do not. “Success is getting up one more time than you fall.” I have often wanted to give up, and then I must think to myself about what the consequences of giving up will be. Generally, this is more than enough of a motivation to make us stick to the task at hand even if we don’t feel like it. When the task is achieved, Whow!—IT FEELS GREAT!



6. Encouragement
   Be an encourager and comforter to friends that are feeling discouraged. I promise that you will not regret this as you will be encouraged by one, if not many, when you are feeling down. Encouragement and love are contagious qualities that can change the minds of the most stubborn and “hard-to-get-along-with” people you know. I have seen it happen over and over again.
