[HA] To transform you

I read this and I found it interesting. I know that, although many of us work and think amazingly well under circumstances unusual for the others, some of these steps mentioned here provide a good point for looking into ourselves and understanding what is it we are after, and how to get it:

The Top 10 Steps for Success and Fulfillment

Break through your blocks, unleash your potential, find peace of mind and freedom, and make a difference by using these top keys for success and fulfillment. If you're really serious about change, follow these 10 key steps:

1) Develop personal discipline - It takes discipline -- commitment, effort and time -- to learn and grow and change. We often know what is best for us, but then stay with old ways because they are familiar. Change requires that we pass through a stage of discomfort until we adjust to new ways of being. Learn to focus your mind and your time on your goals, and to persevere until you succeed. Master willpower and you can master anything.

2) Master time management principles - Get the very most from your time. Continually evaluate whether what you are doing serves your greatest purpose. Value your time and your life as priceless commodities. Own your power to live your life your way.

3) Tap the power of daily journaling - All you need to know -- all the answers and the wisdom you could ever need -- lies within you. And journaling offers the best tool to access that wisdom.

4) Set meaningful goals - Goals help us identify what we want, set priorities, create action plans and attain results. As you plot targets and achieve them, you will take control of your life. Your self-esteem, happiness and fulfillment will grow. Success breeds success.

5) Stimulate your creativity to expand your options - Every mind is creative. All you need is the training and practice to get your mind working in new and different ways. With enhanced creativity, you will solve problems faster and more easily, and have more fun doing it!

6) Develop your awareness and intuition - When we depend solely on rational thinking, we lose access to a valid and highly valuable source of knowledge within us -- our intuition. With simple awareness exercises, you can significantly expand the information available to you for improved decision-making. You can work through the blocks and connect with imagination and inspiration.

7) Empty your mind regularly - Only when you have a quiet mind can you truly be stress-free, creative and intuitive. With rest and recreation, you can let go of worldly pressures and connect with the essence of who you are. Practice meditation or periods of relaxation daily. Do not compromise your holidays. Allow your mind to take a break.

8) Know your life purpose - As we align with our life purpose and unlock our inner power, life becomes easier and more meaningful. We become more focused and energetic, and we attract synchronicities and gifts of abundance that help us fulfill our mission.

9) Track your growth and success - It's so easy to get caught in busyness, doing what's urgent rather than what's important. Tracking tools help you focus on what's most important. They offer measuring sticks so you can monitor your growth and successes. With this regular discipline, each year will just keep getting better!

10) Accept yourself fully - It's only when we truly accept who we are right now that we can change. Why do you want change? If it's because you think you aren't good enough now, this lack of self-worth will undermine your efforts to grow and achieve success. Love who you are, with all of your strengths and weaknesses. This gives you a solid foundation to make your life even better! You will turn your dreams into reality!
