I write down my most important objectives and outline the steps to make them happen. This makes my goals attainable and easy to focus on today. I know that I can achieve them by just taking one small step at a time.

I visualize reaching all of my goals. I see how to make them a part of my life and what I need to do. I examine each step in my mind before it happens. I enjoy the feelings of pride and accomplishment and think thoughts of victory as I work toward my goals.

I have a clear plan of action to make my goals real.

I know who I need to speak to and who can help me. I know what skills and tools I need to use. I appreciate the amount of time and the effort it takes.

I measure the progress of my efforts. I keep a list of my accomplishments and share them with the world. I am proud of every moment and movement.

Even though I have many goals, I prioritize the goals that mean the most to me and the plans that will make the most significant...

 Accomplishing my goals is a priority in my life. I only take on tasks that I know I can complete. If I have started something, then I know I can finish it.

Leaving tasks unfinished wears me down. Because I want to have positive feelings in my life, I do not allow tasks to linger. I proactively pursue the completion of all of my projects.

To finish the tasks in my life, I must make time to accomplish them. Because I set aside time for my projects, I know I will finish strong.

I use my calendar to create appointments for me to finish my tasks. When I see that I have an appointment, I know I need to devote my time to that project. This process helps me stay disciplined and ensures that I respect my own goals.

I am so glad that I have instituted this system into my life because I can devote more time to the things I want to do when I finish a project. Clearing out all of the unfinished tasks in my life creates more time for my family, friends, and...

To achieve my highest possible level of productivity, I make sure I have the tools I need to complete a project.

I take time before I begin to analyze what I need and do what it takes to procure them, so nothing gets in the way of my forward momentum once I get started.

Some tools are apparent. If I'm building a house, I will need wood, nails, and so on. If I'm writing a novel, I will need a reliable computer (or a hefty stack of notebooks). If I'm opening a catering service, I will need pots and pans.

I also need skills. The best computer in the world can't write a novel by itself. The most expensive pots and pans will do nothing on their own. And a stack of wood without a builder is still just a stack of wood.

I invest in honing my skills so I can use my supplies to their full potential.

I grant myself the support and mentorship that I need to be successful, and I let go of the idea that I should be able to do everything on my own. I need...

 Deadlines bring out the best in me. They keep me moving forward and give me a goal to accomplish. Deadlines challenge me to step up to the plate and meet them head-on!

Deadlines make my work more fun. I like to think of them as a game. They challenge me to race against the clock. I love the rush when "crunch time" comes along. Deadlines provide an opportunity to prove what I am truly made of…to myself!

With each deadline, I strive to achieve a faster speed and superior level of quality than I have ever attained in the past. I measure my results against the last similar project I completed.

Often, I far exceed my expectation. I generally exceed the expectations of my supervisors, which only helps me further my career.

Deadlines are the motivating force that drives me to succeed. I thrive under pressure because it makes things interesting. I assess each project and budget my time efficiently. I assign myself a certain amount of work each day to...

I am always open to the possibility of success. I look for ways to succeed rather than excuses to fail, so I enjoy success's thrills. Confidence and an optimistic attitude are the traits that pave the way.

The classic story, The Little Engine That Could, was the smallest engine in the train yard that climbed the mountain to save the day. He kept saying, "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..." up.

In the same way, I know I don't have to be the strongest, most intelligent, most beautiful, most educated, or most experienced person to succeed. All my lights don't have to be green for me to get started on my journey to success.

The world overflows with examples of people who've succeeded despite the tremendous odds against them! What makes the difference? Attitude!

I develop my winning attitude daily with affirmations and positive self-talk. I congratulate myself on even trivial achievements because what are they? Successes, of course!

If I...

 I live my life with purpose, as I am sure concerning my future. My faith in my God-given purpose assures me that not all questions need immediate answers. Clarity is not about having all the answers but about trusting a positive outcome regardless of what happens.

I sometimes walk through challenging situations, but I am sure of my survival ability. I dare to face my opposition. I grow more than hopeful about the future by concentrating on my strengths rather than my limitations.

The gifts granted to me by my Creator are precisely what I need to fulfill my unique destiny. I uncover pieces of that plan by learning my own interests and discovering new skills. As I sharpen my natural abilities, my purpose becomes more apparent.

The best use of my talents is to help me in my role in this world. Therefore, I also discover my purpose by searching my soul and finding my passion.

I am confident about my choices. No matter the season of life I find myself...

 My achievements are a direct product of my effort. I know it may require hard work to achieve something worthwhile, but I see this fact as an excellent opportunity to achieve my wildest dreams! All I need is some hard work? I can do that!

I create my luck because I am the driving force behind my success. If I want something, I make a strategic plan to attain my objective and implement it until I have reached my destination.

I firmly believe that I am in control of my destiny. I refuse to settle for any situation simply because it is the hand dealt with me. If life gives me lemons, I throw them back! If a door in my path is locked, I break it down and continue my rightful journey.

I am aware that my dreams may take some time to achieve. I chip away at my goals one small piece at a time to ensure success.

I am my biggest competition. Each time I set out on a new road, I strive to beat my record. I avoid comparing myself to others because there is no...

 Impulsive action often leads to regret, so I proceed with careful consideration and prayer. It is one good way to ensure that I stay on track.

I set up reminders all over my house of the big-ticket goals that I set for myself. Seeing them keeps me fueled to achieve them.

Re-committing to them several times each day ensures that I make goal-centered choices. It is easy to get sidetracked by frivolous things, but I stay focused. The reward of the big prize is more meaningful than short-lived gratification.

Focusing on the day when I can celebrate is enough motivation. It is extra special when I can unwind while feeling fulfilled by the achieved goal. Priority always goes to the things with far-reaching, positive impact.

Instead of going for a night on the town with friends, I spend my evening looking at business opportunities.

Building my earning potential eventually allows me to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I am satisfied with the work now,...

I achieve my goals successfully because of my drive. I am committed to success in all aspects of my life. I am clear on what I want, and I can overcome all obstacles.

I am the most driven person I know and take pride in my level of commitment.

Once I know what I want, I pursue it until I am successful. Everything I desire is within my grasp.

I am ambitious. I have big goals and every intention of achieving them. My imagination only limits my achievements.

Failure is easy to overcome because of my ambition.

My drive and ambition make me very action-oriented. I use my mental faculties to make wise decisions, and then I act boldly. I avoid overthinking and understand that taking action is the key to progress.

I can endure. I can sustain my efforts, even when things are going poorly. I know that I can always turn a situation in my favor.

My great confidence is grounded in my drive and ambition. I know I can do whatever I need to achieve...

I know that the only way my life can change for the better is if I change my behavior. When I live the same day repeatedly, everything stays the same. When I fail to take any action, my life loses momentum.

Taking action is the key to making changes in my life.

When I make positive changes in my life, my dreams come true. While others struggle to take action, it is easy for me.

I avoid taking too much time thinking and planning. I am focused on results, and results come from taking action.

I know what I want to accomplish in life. I have an idea of how to achieve those things. I take action each day and notice what is working and what is not. I perfect my approach until I succeed.

I prepare myself for success. I avoid waiting for the perfect circumstances to come along. I avoid relying on luck. I avoid waiting for someone to rescue me. I can save myself by following God’s purpose for my life.

I have everything I need to get started. I...
