The route to success in any area of life can be summed up in a simple, easy-to-remember formula. Decide what you wish to do, and then do it.

That may seem entirely obvious, and indeed it is. Yet even though the path to success is so clear and simple, many people have great difficulty following it.

The decision of what to do can be greatly hindered by doubts, fears, insecurities and worries, as well as by confusion over priorities. To get past all that, remember that every doubt is a creation of your own mind, and deep within you is an authentic purpose that can transcend any challenge.

When it comes to taking action, there can be all sorts of justifications and excuses for not doing so. To move forward anyway, it's important to keep in mind that every moment is an opportunity to create value for your life and your world.

When you choose to do nothing with this moment, the opportunity it contains is gone forever, never to return. Choose instead to invest yourself in effective action, and the potential value of this moment is transformed into real, actual, lasting value in your life.

Decide how you can best express the values and dreams that mean so much to you. Then take step after step to successfully bring your decisions to life.

Wow... so profound... I agree. Better live your life trying to do the best that you can towards the direction where you want to go... than live your life trying your best to please everybody and be hindered by your fears and doubts then find out in the end that everyone else reached their goals and you're still on the same spot where you started. Other people's dreams may not be yours even if it makes you envious of what they have achieved. But when you set your heart on something, worked your way to achieve it, you may have to give up people, things and opportunities... sacrifice.. when you get there.. your satisfaction is guaranteed to be sweet and IT'S ALL YOURS.

for those that question themselves

Great words!!! Im a firm believer in being able to do anything a person wants.....visualize it, want it enough and a person can succeed. Ive seen it happen and Ive done it.....
