Aim for success. Here, we look at things that can help. Setting up strategies for survival. The naturalist Jon Young called these “Routines of success”. Things you do habitually, which lead you toward the direction that you want to go.

“The path to success is to take massive, determined action.” 

Tony Robbins

The literature on self-improvement and motivation is vast. To this we can look for ideas on how to proceed. There are several key areas which have been repeatedly identified by motivational gurus over the years.

These will all be discussed here in depth in due time. Some of them are:

Thinking about the goal and especially the positive outcomes which are sought from that goal. You can make this as optimistic as you like, as long as it is motivating you to take steps towards the real achievement of the goal.

Copying those who have succeeded in the field.

Thinking of your goals so much, in a positive, eagerly anticipating way, that other things in your life get crowded out.

Just being determined not to fail.

Not caring what other people think.

Doing whatever it takes as you work towards your goal.

Not letting setbacks discourage you. Everything is a learning experience and we usually learn more from failures than from successes.

IN MORE DEPTH

Much more will follow on the details of the various strategies for success. Remember that people have learned and done these things before, which means that they are possible.
