When someone talks badly to you, what makes that ok? NOTHING! You are your most valuable resource, and how you value yourself will depend on how others see you as well.
Webster's defines the word resource as "something that lies ready for use or can be drawn upon for aid; a supply of something to take care of a need; wealth; assets, something that can be used for an advantage. Even if everything you had was taken away, you still have your mind, your ingenuity, your talents, and your creativity. YOU are your greatest resource.
Science has shown us that each of us has unique DNA, unique fingerprints, and unique body language. But have you also considered that each person also has a unique product inside of him? Your talents and your weaknesses are waiting for you to draw upon them. Your own "special blend" is something that can be used for an advantage.
Hiding inside you is an article or song only you can write, a tool or toy only you can invent, a picture only you can draw, a story only you can tell. Should you choose not to use that resource you will deprive not only yourself, but everyone in your world of your unique contribution.
Expectations are a part of the universe that make things happen, both negatively or positively. Like atomic particles, universal forces cannot be explained, but plugging into them creates some kind of energy.
You have the power to be creative and resourceful, or you also have the power to be miserable the rest of your life. You have that choice. You pick out an attitude just like you pick out clothes.
To transform your attitude and maintain positive actions, try the following things:
Don't expect it to happen overnight, but expect it to happen.
Align yourself with people who also have goals; they'll support and encourage you when you're tired and frustrated.
Step out of your comfort zone; do one thing different.
Operate from the standpoint "as if" it had already happened.
No, you can't simply "will" a goal to materialize, but you can make a commitment to do whatever it takes, including consistent exercise, setting time to clean up your environment, or investing your money in a program instead of buying a new outfit.
Positive thinking, positive expectations, visualization, and the power of attraction, while all valid and useful are passive. In the end, your success in life depends on what you do. No matter how positive your attitude, there is only one way to succeed, and that is in the active mode.
You can sit around and wait on FedX to drop off a big box of happiness on your doorstop if you want to. Nobody’s going to stop you. But I promise you, it’s not likely to happen anytime soon.
Or you can get up, create an action plan, and get on with your life. It's 100% up to you. There are 101 reasons to be proud to be YOU! Start your list today.

5 STEPS TO SUCCESS
Below you’ll find a simple 5-step process to help you develop a clear vision and put it into action:
1) Know exactly what you want to accomplish. Rather than thinking about the perks and benefits that come along with success, focus instead on conceiving a PURPOSE. What do you want to accomplish? What is important to you? Why is it important?
Think about the qualities and skills you’d like to develop within yourself, and the types of goals that could help you do it. Be very specific! Write it down in minute detail.
2) Know the approximate timeline for completion. Realistically, how long should it take for your objective to be completed? Barring any unexpected delays, have a general idea of when you should reach your goal.
3) Have a list of clear action steps. Besides knowing exactly what you want to achieve, knowing exactly how you’ll do it is also vital. Think about the end result you want to create, and then consider exactly what you’d need to do in order to get from here to there. Write each step in order, and make a note of any possible obstacles you may face along with actions you could take to overcome them.
4) Have a solid plan for putting those steps into action. Will all of your action steps be undertaken at once? Or is there a clear progression that needs to be followed? If a delay or obstacle comes up, would that change the order of your action steps? Prepare and plan ahead as much as possible.
Then, make sure you put your plans into action, and keep them in action.
5) Finally, re-evaluate and readjust as necessary. Once you’re moving forward you’ll want to set aside some time to re-evaluate and readjust if circumstances have changed since you drew up your original plans. You can do this as frequently as needed in order to ensure you are staying on track.
With a clear vision a strong desire to achieve it and the above 5 steps to success, you’ll soon find that you’re on the fast track to success like never before!

3 KEYS TO GREATNESS
1.SETTING GOALS
I call it the view of the future, You need to pay the price for your future.Pay the price today to attain the rewars of tommorrow.You needs to set achievable goals for your life if you will be great in life.
2.PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
This is simply making consistent investments in your self-education and knowledge.Set a minimum amount of time to read books,listening to audio cassetes, attending seminars,keping a journal and spending time with other successfull people. Charles Tremendous says you will be in five years the sum total of the books you read and the people you are around.
3. FINANCIAL PLANNING
I call it 70/30 plan.After receiving your paycheck or paying yourself,simply set aside 10% for saving,10% for investing and 10% for giving and over time this will guarantee financial independence for you.
If a young person,or for that matter an adult focused on doing these three things over a long perod of time I believe they will be assured success.
To your success.
