I think\u00a0<a title=\"What is Success\" href=\"http:\/\/loddymicucci.com\/success-2\/\">success<\/a>\u00a0instead of failure and \u2013 snip \u2013 there it is. I think money instead of debt and \u2013 snip \u2013 there it is.<\/p>\n<p>The choice is yours and it is only you that decides what something means to you. By changing the way you view things, you can change your emotional state and therefore change the outcome of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>You have to change your thoughts not only one time, you have to make it a habit to think positive \u2013 to think success \u2013 to think money \u2013 to think health.<\/p>\n<p>If it is true that thoughts become things, then you created your results. If you are not content with your results, you probably have to change your thoughts to change your\u00a0<strong>life to get better results.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is important to realize that you<a title=\"Positive thoughts | Positive choices\" href=\"http:\/\/loddymicucci.com\/positive-thoughts-positive-choices\/\">\u00a0choose\u00a0<\/a>how you respond to any situation. It is not the situation or event that caused you to feel angry or upset it is the meaning that you attach to that event. For example; you are at a function alone and no-one is attempting to talk to you.<\/p>\n<p>This is also a hard step for many people. Discipline requires you to do things you do NOT always want to do. They are unpleasant, inconvenient, mundane etc, but is essential for success. Someone said that 80% of success is just showing up every day. If you are not a very disciplined person, you may want to get help from someone to \u201ccoach\u201d you through it.Someone that you can be accountable to. Someone who will not feel sorry for you when you want to quit. They will \u201cdiscipline\u201d you, externally, until you can do it internally.<\/p>\n<p>Most \u201cbad habits\u201d come naturally, or easily. We do them without even thinking. So, to make changes, that is to say, turn bad habits into good habits, requires effort. Lots of effort. We naturally tend to avoid effort where ever and when ever we can. Thus making it hard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Replace<\/strong>\u00a0the negative steps with the positive ones you seek to change. In many cases, just the opposite will be pretty close to being the right ones.<\/p>\n<p>The previous step will (probably) be the hardest one. This one is simple in comparison. The thing here is to \u201c<strong>take action<\/strong>\u201c. It\u2019s not enough to identify the steps, work out what they should be, as opposed to what they are, and then feel good that you have done something. No, you have merely identified, NOT changed anything yet. You have to take action, implement the \u201cnew\u201d steps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW<\/strong>\u00a0you want the end result to look like will motivate you, along with the\u00a0<strong>WHY<\/strong>. It will give you the clear goal that you need to know when you arrive, or, if you have not yet arrived.<\/p>\n<p>If your \u201cwhy\u201d is not strong enough, you will quit early, and fail. Just because you \u201cshould\u201d, or it \u201cseems like a good idea\u201d, will probably not do. Make sure you have a valuable reason, so that you \u201cstay the course\u201d!<\/p>\n<p>Just because it\u2019s hard, is not to say, it\u2019s impossible. There is a process to help achieve the results you want. It is in effect a simple process, that requiers discipline. Another trait that many lack, or are weak in. So, let me list the process I believe works. I know it works because it\u2019s the process I have been using in my own life.<\/p>\n<p>I have to ask you this question, \u201care you\u00a0<strong>SERIOUS<\/strong>?\u201d about changing thing(s) in your life?
