The MOST important quality you can develop for a lifelong success is the HABIT OF TAKING ACTIONS OF YOUR PLANS, GOALS, IDEAS, AND INSIGHTS. The more often you try, the sooner you will triumph. There is a direct relationship between the number of things you attempt and your accomplishments in life. Here are the twenty-one steps for setting and achieving goals and for living a wonderful life.

1. Unlock Your Potential
Always remember that your true potential is unlimited. Whatever you have accomplished in life up to now has only been preparation for the amazing things you can accomplish in the future.

2. Take Charge of Your Life
You are completely responsible for everything you are today, for everything you think, san, and do, and for everything you become from this moment forward. Refuse to make excuses or to blame others. Instead, make progress toward your goals every day.

3. Create Your Own Future
Imagine that you have no limitations on what you can do, be, or have in the months and years ahead. Think about and plan your future as if you had all the resources you needed to create any life that you desire.

4. Clarify Your Values
Your innermost values and convictions define you as a person. Take the time to think through what you really believe ini and care about in each area of your life. Refuse to deviate from what you feel is right for you.

5. Determine Your True Goals
Decide for yourself what you really want to accomplish in every area of your life. Clarity is essential for happiness and high-performance living.

6. Decide upon Your Major Definite Purpose
You need a central purpose to build your life around. There must be a single goal that will help you to achieve your other goals more than any other. Decide what it is for you and work on it all the time.

7. Analyze Your Beliefs
Your beliefs about your own abilities and about the world around you will have more of an impact on your feelings and actions than any other factor. Make sure that your beliefs are positive and consistent with achieving everything that is possible for you.
