Get From Where You Are To Where You Want To Be

Dr. Joe Vitale, motivational speaker and author, often
says: "the fastest way to get where you want is to be
happy with where you are."

Believe it or not, this mindset works! It may take some
changes and soul searching on your part, but in the end,
it'll be more than worth it to adopt this positive
mentality.

While you should strive to make your dreams come true,
concentrate, also, on yourself and your journey. When
you spend less time wishing things were different and
more time accepting what you've got, you've already
found a sense of peace and happiness right there.

Here are some tips that can help you become who you want
to be right now:

=============================
1. Feel gratitude. When you concentrate on the big picture,
it's easier to exhibit feelings of gratitude. When you're
grateful, you remain positive and appreciative of every
joyful moment in life.

- Sometimes people get too caught up in a sense of
entitlement, which leads to negative feelings. Concentrating
on gratitude, instead, will get you where you desire.

=============================
2. Be optimistic. Some say that life is all about optimism.
And it's true! An optimistic attitude is one of the few
things you need to succeed.

- If you're trying to achieve a concrete goal, optimism
will help you accomplish it.

- If you're trying to change your mindset, optimism will
make the task easier.

- Optimism can be the driving force that keeps you going.

=============================
3. Exhibit the traits you desire. It was Gandhi who said
that you should be the change you want to see in the world.

With these wise words in mind, you can replace wanting with
some bold action. With some persistence and perseverance,
you can make it happen.

=============================
4. Adopt a prosperous mindset. Take a moment to determine
what prosperity means to you. Are you hoping for money,
a fulfilling career, or a relationship that lasts a lifetime?

Know what you want, then adopt the right mindset. Once you
do, you've then set yourself in the right direction toward
your goals.

=============================
5. Find the silver lining. As you go through life, you will
no doubt realize that things are not always going to go your
way. But even in tough times you need to keep your chin up.

Instead of allowing negativity to consume your life, seek out
the silver lining. This fresh attitude can be the difference
between being held hostage and achieving your goals.

=============================
6. Take small steps. When the place you're going seems
far away and unachievable, it's important to break it
down into small steps.

Give yourself an achievable goal with a realistic time
frame. Break that one down into smaller goals.

- When you avoid getting overwhelmed, you'll gain the
confidence to persevere.

You're Already There

It's a good idea to practice one of these tips at a time
until you've incorporated them into your life. Perhaps
you can spend a week perfecting one strategy and, then the
next week, add another one to your repertoire while
continuing with the first one. Soon enough, you'll be
a natural at all of them!

Once you choose a powerful and positive mindset, you'll
find that you've already achieved much of what you want.

Just remember: You already have the traits, mindset, and
lifestyle you desire, and you know that success is
inevitable, but only when you have the will to break
through the obstacles in your mind!
