Life is beautiful so live it

Set a realistic but challenging/inspiring goal. Take a big dream, like "I want to be famous", and break it down into smaller, more manageable steps, like "I want to star in a science fiction movie", "I want to go to three auditions a week", "I want to move to another city" and "I want to save $5000 so I can move." Make the goal big enough to challenge and excite you, but not so big that you hesitate to take the first steps. Plan ahead. Once you've broken down your goal into pieces, write down the steps on a piece of paper to make sure you have everything thought out. One of the worst things that can happen is you're almost to the point of your goal, but you're not sure what to do next. Also, give yourself deadlines for each step. Otherwise, you'll end up procrastinating and never achieving your dream. Brainstorm ideas. Are there different ways to reach your goal? Write everything down that you can think of in three m

(1) Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God. (2) Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will. (3) Don't compare yourself to anybody else. You're unique, one of a kind, an original. So don't settle for being a copy. (4) Focus on your potential, not your limitations. Remember, God lives in you! (5) Find what you like to do, do well, and strive to do it with excellence. (6) Have the courage to be different. Be a God pleaser, not a people pleaser. (7) Learn to handle criticism. Let it develop you instead of discourage you. (8) Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you. They'll short-change you! (9) Keep your shortcomings in perspective - you're still a work in progress.... (10) Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence - the God Who lives in you
