Fears are normally deep seated and based either on personal past experiences or on what someone has told us. Â The truth is your mindset is usually what really makes the difference. Learning how to manage your thought patterns is what is going to keep you on the move when things fail to go as planned.

Start your Day Off with Enthusiasm
It’s not always easy to start the day with a spring in your step. People often think that ‘they are not a morning person’. That of course is just another ‘thing in your head’. Before you accept labels for yourself, make sure the labels are working for you.
Your day’s effectiveness is often determined in the first few morning hours. If you start checking the Facebook newsfeed and email when you get out of bed, you will start to drift down to the unknown. Front load your morning with an activity that will give you a positive mental focus. A brief brainstorming session or workout will help in keeping you right on track.
Learn Something new and Useful Everyday

Be proactive and disciplined about the things that you allow to yourself to absorb. We cannot make changes to our DNA, but we can opt to be more vigilant about what sort of information we choose to consume intellectually.
