How to get what you want?

NEVER GIVE UP IF YOU FAIL, BECAUSE PERSEVERANCE IS THE NAME OF THE GAME. THE ONLY WAY TO FAIL IS TO GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS

We call them winners, role models, leaders and champions. We recognise their strength and applaud their determination. Their triumphs and achievements prove that possibilities are boundless. Their accomplishments exemplify the meaning of success. These are the men and women who never give up on their dreams. They are not superheroes, but they do possess a great power — belief in themselves. The secret to success is to wake up, but never to stop dreaming. The key to discovering your dreams is to recognise your personal happiness. Identify what makes you feel complete — your greatest joys and desires — then become passionate about turning them into your reality. Don't deny yourself the right to be successful. Give wings to your dreams. Check out the top 10 ways to stay focused and get what you want:

1. REALISE YOUR GOALS
Ask yourself what makes you happy. Don't hold back; think big. Don't let current circumstances automatically block them from the possibility. You are starting from scratch. In order to work towards a goal, you must see it.

2. WRITE IT DOWN
Once you write it, you will be able to see it. Jot down your ultimate goal and the obstacles standing in your way. Read once a day. Make it part of your daily routine.

3. STRATEGISE
It's time to start preparing. You've got the big picture down. Now you have to break it down into smaller tasks. Complete one small task every day. Keep reading your goals.

4. TELL YOUR FRIENDS
The more you say it, the more life you breathe into it. Which of your friends is following his or her dreams? Surround yourself with optimism. Ask for help. Learn from those who are on the same journey.

5. REFLECT
At the end of every week, take the time to look at what you've accomplished. How much closer are you to your goal? Who have you met? Has your life changed in any way?
