Be grateful - Let’s look at this from a selfish point of view. If you do a favour for a friend and, that friend does not appear to be grateful for your help, how inclined will you be to help them the next time that they are in need.
Now, you may ignore a lack of gratitude once or twice but if it is a constant thing, you are eventually going to get fed up helping this friend. People love to help others and they are usually happy to do so (where possible) but if you never display or communicate any gratitude, you may soon find yourself short of people who will help you along your path. Being grateful for all of the good in your life is one excellent way to experience this positivity. Again, you are not asked to be unrealistic but too many people focus only on their negative experiences.
Be focused- If you have a big goal, the next step is an action plan with small steps. These steps should require regular action. By focusing on and taking small, consistent steps towards your goal; you make getting what you want from life less overwhelming. Rather than be overwhelmed by the big picture, these small directed steps allow you to make progress each day, safe in the knowledge that you are moving closer to your goal. Including a regular review of your progress will allow you to identify anywhere that you may have strayed off course. You can then make the necessary changes to get back on track.
