I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.

With all this talk about positive thinking and the law of attraction. You could be thinking all you need to do is think happy thoughts and you’ll get everything you desire.

Unfortunately, if it was that easy then everyone would achieve their dreams. But look around you!

How many people do you know that are living their dreams?

Exactly! I know this may seem harsh, but sometimes we need a wake-up call to get us to move into action! If you have goals you want to achieve then start getting into gear and making them a reality. Positive thinking can go a long way to changing your life but you also need to act to set the wheels in motion.

Positive thinking is not an easy thing to maintain, there will be days when you are not feeling great and want to dwell in your own self-pity, and that’s fine! By all means, if it makes you get over it and feel better then do dwell on your problems.
