The girl thanked Jim and walked away, and he closed the door, stood a few minutes in silence in the hall. At that moment he realized that more so can not live. After this incident, every day he tries to improve themselves and their lives.

Jim is sure that if I had not lied about buying cookies, he would never have felt the urgent need to develop and work. It was that experience that has opened a new door to a new life in front of him. On the other hand, this experience helped Jim mentally prepare and realize that he is ready to learn, to grow, to try and achieve goals.

After certain experiences and events you get the opportunity to change ourselves, to draw correct and good people and adventure in your life.

7. Keep track of your thoughts and desires

What do you usually think?

Most people spend time and energy on something to think about the abyss that separates them from the desired goal.

• "I still did not get the contract."
• "My attitude is very bad."
• "I would like to be stronger and leaner."

These thoughts contain only one thing: a statement of the problem. You also need to focus on its decision. People usually reflect on what they want to avoid. In fact, only need to visualize the experience that you want.

In my mind, you should seek only to what you like.

But even more interesting is that those runners who have to compete with this unique athlete, also set new records. In other words, those who lose a bolt, run faster than anyone before them.

Suffice it to strive for the leader and keep up the pace. Then you overtook other competitors.

Focus on those activities that bring maximum results. Then you make a huge leap towards its goal. On the way to it you will find many interesting things, see what has long dreamed of seeing.
