“The biggest mistake that you can make is to believe that you are working for somebody else. Job security is gone. The driving force of a career must come from the individual. Remember: Jobs are owned by the company, you own your career!”
Earl Nightingale

Dr. David Harold Fink, a noted West Coast psychiatrist, has identified six steps that will help you realize success. These steps are found in the book, The Strangest Secret, by Earl Nightingale.
1. Set yourself a definite goal. This step is so basic, yet so many people gloss over it. Not only is it critical to have a goal (and keep it SMART), it is critical to have your goal written down. There is something almost magical about having your goals written down where you can see them, recite them, and carry them with you throughout the day. They come true! I have heard that only 3% of the population has written goals. Make yourself one of those 3%.
2. Quit running yourself down. Is your flurry of activity leading to that dead-end road, or is it moving you closer to your goals? Spend your time on activities which move you forward and you will realize more energy. Reacting to life, rather than directing your own life is certainly an energy drainer.
3. Stop thinking of all the reasons why you cannot be successful, and instead, think of all the reasons why you can. Get out a piece of paper and start writing. Give yourself a nudge in the right direction and acknowledge the strengths you do have. You have the power within to be on the road to success.
4. Trace your attitudes back through your childhood, and try to discover where you first got the idea you couldn’t be successful, if that’s the way you’ve been thinking.
5. Change the image you have of yourself by writing out a description of the person you would like to be. Don’t worry about the specifics of how you will be that person; focus on the description only.
6. Act the part of the successful person you have decided to become. Picture yourself leading the successful life you want, act like you already are living it, and that successful life will be yours. In addition, you will then attract more success into your life.
