Quick and Easy Tips to Help You Change and Achieve
You can achieve everything you have ever wanted to have, experience or become. The power has and always will be within you, but nothing will happen until you get motivated to make something happen. The following tips and ideas will help you to get and stay motivated to change your life and achieve your desires.
1.Let Go of the Past
Before you can create a better future, you must let go of the pains in your past. Failing once does not mean you will fail forever. Learn from your history, but don’t let it stand as an obstacle between you and your dreams. Isaiah 43:18-"Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past".
2.Remember Success
Just as important as learning from and overcoming past failure is recalling past success. It doesn’t matter who you are, you have succeeded at something at sometime in your past. Don’t gloss over these moments. Use them to remind you that you can in fact achieve your goals.
3.Accept the Possibilities
It’s possible. The dreams you hold in your heart but pushed to the back of your mind are within your reach. Accept the fact that you can create a better life. This will serve as the springboard of belief you need to succeed.
Luke 1:37-"For with God nothing shall be impossible".
Mark 9:23-Everything is possible for him who believes.
Mark 9:23-Everything is possible for him who believes.
4.Dream the Big Dream
In order for dreams and desires to inspire you to action and achievement, they need to be big. If you don’t get excited about what you have planned for the future, you will never find the inspiration you need to change your life. Powerful dreams can move the soul, and when you dream the big dream, you will be driven to make the compelling picture a tangible reality.
5. Small steps to Great Success
While the nature of your dreams needs to inspire, you must also recognize the fact that it takes only small steps to create amazing changes. The dream will lead the way, but it won’t come in one giant leap. Small steps, carried out each day, will bring you to the destinations you seek. Little drops of water make a mighty ocean.
Zechariah 4:10 says, "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord desires to see the work begin"...
6. Impossible to Fail
People are more than capable of creating compelling dreams, but the fear of failure often clouds the path. To avoid pitfalls, imagine that it is impossible to fail. What dreams and desires would you pursue if you were guaranteed success? 1 John 4:4-"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world".
7. Write in a Journal
A million thoughts may rush through your mind each day, but if you do nothing to capture them, they often disappear as quickly as they came. Take time to write in a journal each week. This will not only help you overcome obstacles you are facing in your life but also help you discover what you really want.
8. Fast Forward
Think ahead. Imagine living your ideal life in ten years. What would you be doing? With whom would you be doing it? What would your life look like on a daily basis? Use the picture of a future life to create goals and desires in the present.
2 Corinthians 4:18-"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal".
9. The Moment
Remember a time when everything seemed to be going just right? When nothing could get you down? When you thought to yourself, “This moment, right now, is what life is all about”. We all have moments in life when we feel we are at our best, but most people don’t utilize them. Use the special moments in your life to bring to light goals and desires that are sure to fulfil your needs. Learning from and building on these times will help you create magic moments on a daily basis for the rest of your life.
10. Get specific
In order for you to create lasting change in your life, you have to be super specific about what you want. Vague ideas just won’t cut it. The more specific you make your desires, the easier it will be to act on them. Cloudy hopes create obstacles. You have to know exactly what you want, down to the smallest detail.
11.Write It Down
Write down everything you want to have, experience, and become. The simple act of writing your desires down on a sheet of paper will bring them one step closer to reality. Saying something is one thing, but when you actually see the words written down...it’s an exhilarating moment. Just try it and see!
Habakkuk 2:2-And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may be able to read it easily and quickly as he hastens by.
12.Share the Excitement
Don’t keep your plans for a better future to yourself-share the excitement with those who will not see it as bragging or your ego taking over. This will make the dream more tangible, and include others in the picture who will ask about your progress and keep you heading in the right direction.
13.Educate Yourself
The more you know, the more you’ll grow.
Information is the greatest resource you have as you work toward creating a better life. Facts help to increase your confidence, break down fear, and inspire you to action. Learn all there is to know about what you want and you will never be without the drive and energy you need to make it happen.
2 Timothy 2:15-Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
14. What’s In It for Me?
As you begin taking steps towards the things you desire, you will meet with many obstacles along the way that have the potential to knock you off course forever. To ensure this doesn’t happen to you, answer the question: What’s in it for me? Knowing exactly why you are reaching for more will serve as a constant source of energy and excitement to keep you going strong in the face of short-term setbacks.
15. Search for Success Stories
The stories of individuals overcoming all odds and achieving their dreams surrounds you. The bible contains a lot of these success stories. Many books and the media in general also has such secular success stories. Seek out and make these stories a part of your life. You are not alone in your search for happiness. Knowing that others have succeeded in the past can be enough to motivate you to succeed in the future.
16. The Smallest Piece ( Step by Step)
Can you make a phone call? How about typing a single word or sending an email? If you can do these simple tasks, you have what it takes to create massive and lasting change. Every goal you have can be broken down into extremely small pieces that are easily within your ability. Break down your goal into its smallest parts and you will have the confidence you need to proceed.
It doesn’t matter what you want, someone at sometime throughout history has desired and achieved the same thing. Not only does this prove that your dreams are possible but also that you have what it takes to make them happen. People have done so much with so little, proving that the essential requirements of creating change are within you.
1 John 5:4-For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
18. Take Ownership
Before positive changes can take place, you must take responsibility for your position in life. Position yourself for a better life by taking positive action. If you play the role of a victim, giving up control and ownership of your life, you will never enjoy the amazing opportunities that life offers to us all. You are who you think you are. Get out there. Almost anywhere. Let opportunity hit you.
Proverbs 23:7- As a man thinks in his heart so is he (You are who you think you are).
19. Motivate Yourself
Learn to be a self motivator. Surround yourself by things and people who provide you with motivation. Take the obstacles in life as challenges and learn from them. Most often people mirror their environments. The friends and family members you associate with play a major role in your life- both positively and negatively. Ask yourself if the people in your life are helping you become the person you want to be or are standing in the way of progress. Let go of negative friends and people.
Proverbs 27:17-Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
20a. Believe in Yourself (self-confidence)
Have you ever seen someone not buying a car because they failed to learn how to drive? Billions of people fail to live the life they have always wished to live. They fail to realize their ambitions and give up on their big dreams as soon as they encounter the first obstacle. One of the strongest reasons for this attitude is people have failed to believe in themselves. Believing in yourself is being sure that you are going to do what you put your mind to, even if others were against you. Big dreams always meet strong opposition!
20b. Understanding Your Value
Never ever underestimate yourself. You should know that God is inside of you. You have an atomic bomb or dynamite inside of you. You should know that you have enormous potential which is still untapped and when exploited correctly you can achieve great things in life. Locate your inner energy and let the giant in you out. Most of us are under performers as none of us work in accordance with that we are truly capable of. Never undermine yourself and your true potential.
Genesis 1:26-"Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
21. Discernment or Understanding
Your dream needs discernment. This includes knowing when to begin, when the time for fulfilment is near and what to do. Without discernment, potentially rewarding and fulfilling goals may silently slip away until they become only distant memories. When to begin working towards your dreams? When to achieve them? When to cease the opportunity for your dream? Discernment is paramount. It will give you the intuition needed to decide when the time is right. Have you heard the phrase “My time has come or this is the time or moment”? Know your time!
1 Chronicles 12:32-And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.
22a. Measure Your Progress (Ask)
As you begin putting the pieces of your desire in place, be sure to measure your progress along the way. Doing so will help you get motivated to achieve the goal as you see real improvement taking place. You will also be able to recognize troubling areas that need more attention or successful methods that could be spread to other aspects of the goal. People won’t tell you what you’re doing wrong. Your prospects won’t tell you, sometimes your best friends or spouse won’t tell you. So what do you do to improve your goal? Ask!Ask!Ask!
Luke 9:18-And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Who do people say that I am?
22b. Tools of the Trade
To accomplish the task above, charts and checklists are the way to go. Charts are the perfect tool to measure incremental goals such as a savings or investment plan. If your desire is more sequential in nature, simply list the steps in a checklist along with their deadlines to keep you right on track from start to finish.
23. Action: Your Way to Change
No matter how bad you want it to happen, change will never result from thinking alone. You must take action. The right action will result in the right reaction. The world is swimming in dreamers and wishers, but only those who act on their desires achieve truly remarkable results.
24. The First Step
A single step in right direction is all it takes to put in motion great things. Every written masterpiece begins with a single word on a page. Every long journey begins with a single step. The things you desire most will be no different.
25a.Do It Now
People have a gift for rationalization and procrastination. Take away these dangers with an attitude of `now or never’. How would you do things differently if you were certain that today was your last chance to change your life? The obituary pages are filled with planners who waited. Act like a shark. Keep moving.
25b.Today
Today is the certainty in your world. Make the best of it.
26. Value Your Time
You should remember one thing. You are a human being and you are only here on earth for a limited period of time. Learn to value and exploit your time in the right manner and to your advantage. Don’t let any person or situation waste your time. Get on a plan and outline your goals and where you need to be in life. Discover where your time goes each day and how you can better utilize each minute and hour.
27. Organize Your Space
A cluttered space leads to a cluttered mind. Taking a few hours to clean up your common work areas, bedroom or living space will go a long way in helping you maintain clarity and focus while working towards your goal. The Law of Correspondence states that “As within, so without”. That is your outer world tends to be a reflection of your inner world like a mirror. What you see in the world around you will be consistent over time with the world inside you. This is why it is necessary to change the world around you by first organizing your space. A cluttered space leads to a cluttered mind. It is easy to spot a confused person from their environment. Cleanliness leads to Godliness!
As simple as it sounds, taking a walk around the block is sometimes all it takes to clear your mind and regain the energy you need to make changes in your life. It’s quick, easy and effective.
An inspired mind is of little use if you lack the physical vitality to execute your plans. Get active and get moving. Whether this means a daily exercise program or simply riding your bike to work. Think of as many ways as possible to be active in your daily life.
Just as important as an active lifestyle is a healthy diet. You can’t expect to have the energy and drive necessary to live an extraordinary life if you continue to fill your body with unhealthy foods. What you put in your body has an enormous impact on your motivation to improve.
31. Get Enough Rest
Your body cannot perform at its peak levels if you don’t give it the time it requires for rest and repair. Four hours of sleep each night will eventually catch up with you. Get the rest you need and you’ll have no problem working with passion toward your desires.
32. Choose to Think About What You Want
With everything you have to think about each day, the things you desire won’t always get the time they deserve. You have to choose to think what you want to change your life, or your dreams will very likely be left behind.
33. Watch Inspiring Movies
Movies are made to move us. When you feel that your willpower is lacking, watch a movie that you find inspiring. This is a quick and easy way to regain your drive and you’ll have a great time doing it.
34. Collect Your Favourite Quotations
The written word can be just as powerful as movies. When you come across a quotation that motivates you to achieve your goals, don’t let it go! Write them down, save them on your computer, or do whatever works for you to keep them close at hand.
35. Place Reminders in the Home or Office
Place powerful reminders around your home or office about the goals and desires you are working to achieve. With the hectic pace of life in today’s society it’s easy to forget about the truly important things. Placing pictures in your home of the car you are dreaming about or the home you wish to build are effective tools to keep you going strong.
36. The Process of Improvement
Always remember, improvement is a process. It takes time and effort to change your life, and any hope for instant tangible results will only lead to disappointment. However, intangible changes such as improvements in your attitude, confidence, happiness, and joy can occur in an instant. Don’t sweat the small things in life. Always remind yourself that you are improving in every day.
37. Learn from Your Mistakes
When things don’t work out exactly as you had planned (this will happen) don’t waste the opportunity to learn something. A short-term failure is a good thing—It teaches you how `not’ to do something, which will bring you closer and closer to the solution you seek.
38. Constant Curiosity
Be curious. The world can be a truly amazing place when you take the time to look around and learn about it. Read, converse, observe, listen, and discover the miracles that surround you. Constant curiosity is the habit that is sure to get you excited about your world, your life and your future.
39. Spend Time With Children
Spending time with kids is a great way to let go of your worries and reconnect with your more innocent past. As adults, we have learned to hide our true emotions and keep a reserved attitude. Children have a great lesson to teach us—have fun and enjoy life. Maintain your youthful ways as you continue to grow older.
40. Focus on others
There is no better way to improve your life than to help others do the same. To give is to get, and when it comes to spreading happiness and joy to others, it has never been truer. As your focus turns from yourself to those in need you will find that your own problems seem less important and may even disappear altogether.
An effective method to help others is volunteering. Your time is the most precious resource you have, and giving it to someone else is a truly rewarding experience. Contact your local churches, community center or public schools for volunteering opportunities. Join volunteering groups, they can be helpful to your well being. Don't isolate yourself , get out there and help somebody too get up on their feet.
42. The Ups and Downs
You will not always be motivated to succeed. We all have our ups and downs, and expecting anything different will create frustration and anger. We all get upset, encounter setbacks, and have bad days, but here’s the secret: you can visit, but just don’t live there.It's part of life. Shake it off and keep moving on!
43.Your Contribution
What are you going to contribute to the world after you have gone? Living an extraordinary life requires thinking beyond yourself and giving back to the world in some way.
What will your gift to the world be?
44.Be Grateful for What You Have
Take time out of each day to be grateful for the things you have in your life. Simply being alive and well is an amazing gift—anything more is just icing on the cake. Always thank God for the little things in your life. Appreciate what you have and you will discover a renewed passion to achieve the desires you have yet to experience.
45. Vacations Are Worth Their Weight In Gold
Vacations can be more than a needed break. They can be a great tool for increasing your motivation. When you detach or let go of your day to day problems and give it to God, it brings you closer to your goal and cause many good things to rush in. You don't have to do it all. Not in this universe. Delivery is included. But the big trick is letting go, which is why vacations are so incredibly valuable.
Cast all your burdens on him for He cares( 1 Peter 5:7), and He will give you rest ( Matthew 11:28).
46. Divine Timing
46. Divine Timing
It doesn't matter what you want, you can have it. A new car, a home in the country, a slim trim and healthy body... it can all be yours for the asking. The only thing is that you don't get control over when you get it. That's up to God. Let's assume you've diligently written down your requests, and then you detached, but you don't get everything immediately.
So why don't you get everything you asked for NOW! You want it yesterday, right? What is the hold up!
The hold -up is you're probably not ready
.Never give up on your desire, but do give up planning for it to happen on your schedule. Detach
and let Diving Timing take over. We know that we have to grow and change and become the person that can handle the desires we seek. Trust God to know the correct time for that to happen.
and let Diving Timing take over. We know that we have to grow and change and become the person that can handle the desires we seek. Trust God to know the correct time for that to happen.
There is a time for everything under the sun (Ecc 3:1), and in his own time He made all things beautiful.
47. Starting in the Right Direction
You may not realize it, but you’ve already taken a massive step toward success. Simply reading these words demonstrates your desire to enhance the quality of your life. Now that you’ve taken the first step, keep it going day after day, month after month, year after year.
48a.Get Excited!
You are on your way to getting everything you have ever wanted! Now is the time to get excited and inspired about what your future holds. Imagine living your ideal life-now make it happen!
48b. When Should You Begin?
It’s decision time. You can continue to dream about the things you want or you can do something about them. You can let routine run the show or you can make a change. You can put off your happiness until another day or you can begin doing the things you know you are capable of doing. The choice is yours.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of `someday’. Someday I’ll do it, but right now I have so much to take care of. The truth is, you will always have things to take care of, people to see, and places to go. You have to make time for a better life because it won’t fall into your lap. Perhaps you’ve even said you’ll start making changes: ...tomorrow, next week, next year, when the kids get out of school, when the kids go back to school, when there is more time, when things settle down, when the moment is right etc. Start Now! Because today is the only certainty!!
49.Believe In God
Ask God for guidance and help in achieving your goal, and you will feel that you are backed up by a power which is superior to anyone who rejects what you are doing and to the unexpected difficulties you will most definitely face on your road to accomplishing your goal.
Proverbs 3:5-Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your understanding.
Proverbs 3:5-Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your understanding.
50. What Do You Really Want?
I can tell you for a fact that everything you want is within your reach. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are from, how many times you have failed or what you where taught growing up—what matters is what are you going to do about it N-O-W?
Live your dreams every day and remember everything is possible for him who believes (Mark 9:23)
