BELIEVE that we can achieve those dreams.

I’ve
been told I should have been a motivational speaker. I reply by saying, “I am” because I try to motivate every time I
open my mouth or touch the keyboard with my fingertips. I’ve been blessed, I guess with a gift that
allows me to look past the shallow and sometimes demanding nature of others and
see through to the positive and gifted person within. I know. We are surrounded by negativity. Open any newspaper,
magazine or online venue and you are bombarded by negative expressions. It can be very depressing, and it can be
very difficult to rise above the attitude of others. It’s necessary.

Today
is a new day. This hour is a new hour. This minute is a new minute. We are surrounded by newness that we
overlook with frequency. When we wake
up in the morning, we should value the sunrise for what it is “an amazing new
opportunity for change.”

The
only way that we can achieve anything is to resolve that we want to. Goal setting is important because it gives
us a framework to hang all our hopes and dreams and a way to measure our
progress. Whether you’re a reader or an author, it doesn’t matter we all have a
basic need for accomplishment, whether it’s a business or personal goal.

There
are a few things that no one controls but us.
The major one is attitude. Our attitude is an extremely personal thing
yet it has the power to influence others and essentially cause a domino
effect. How is your attitude affecting
your ability to reach your goals? If a
negative attitude could help you achieve even one of your goals I’d say go on
be negative, but it won’t it will only have the opposite effect. A positive attitude alone may not.

How
do you change an attitude and regain that optimism you once had? Well, take a lesson from childhood and
rediscover the art of DAYDREAMING. Find
a quiet place for some alone time. It
could be in your room on your bed, beside a pool or on a pallet in the
woods. Close your eyes and let your
mind wander to places that only it can.
Allow the real world to melt away and call upon your inner child because
the child within was never afraid to dream and began life full of
optimism. If you find it difficult the
first time, don’t give up because it’s taken years to develop the attitude
you’re wearing. If you’re willing to change, to recapture the part of you that
feeds your self-confidence you can.

If
you’re not achieving what you want to, and you’re not happy with your life the
way it is, you owe it to yourself to try anything that will spark that renewed
energy to face the world again with fresh eyes, a new attitude and effect it in
a positive way.

one-person changes and then another and

Without
a dream, nothing is accomplished, but without some work dreams cannot be
accomplished. So, how does one tackle
the obstacles between their real-life situation and the goals their imagination
has set for them? By treating them as
if they are something we can achieve.

The
most important suggestion I can make to you whatever your goals may be is to
“do something.” Don’t just allow
your dreams to fade away. Today is the
day to reach for the stars.

Here’s a little blurb from Book One: 8 Hours to Jump Start Your Career: AStep-by-Step Guide for Self-Published Authors
Forget
about spending 8 Hours a day on promoting your book. For less than a value meal
you’ll learn how to take just 8 hours and invest them in actionable tasks that
will pay dividends into the future. Don’t you owe it to yourself to reclaim your
life?

Authors are sick and tired of spending every minute of the day promoting
themselves and their books. It doesn’t have to be that way. 8 Hours to Jump
Start Your Career: A Step-by-Step Guide for Self-Published Authors shows you
how to invest just 8 hours into actionable tasks that will pay dividends into
the future freeing you up to do other things. These are not tasks thought up
overnight they are the results of over 2 years of research and personal
experimentation. I cannot guarantee that it will make you a Bestseller, but
many who’ve followed the tasks outlined in the book can now boast that
Bestseller status. Spend it with family, go on vacation, or write your next
book it’s all up to you. What will you do with all that time you’re going to
have?

I love everything you just said. Yes, please begin to daydream. It is from these daydreams, that magic can happen again.
I love the idea. I am also from South Georgia, and look forward to hearing more of your ideas. I am working on my first book.
