Your Masterpiece

Coach John Wooden was one of the most successful athletic coaches the world has ever seen. As the head basketball coach at one of the United States top universities, UCLA, Wooden compiled a record of 620 wins to 147 losses. Even more incredibly, Wooden¡¯s teams won the US national championship 10 out of 12 years, including a string of 88 straight victories with no losses, and seven championships in a row.

Write It Down, Get It Done
Author: Michelle L. Casto, M. Ed.

It’s that time of year again, the time for optimistic thinking and resolution making. If you are not mindful, another year will pass you by taking with it your dreams and aspirations. Have you ever wondered why you can’t seem to make forward progress in your life? It is usually because you have not taken the time to find out what you want and commit it to paper. Someone once said, “A goal not written is but a wish.” And this is completely true. Without writing down what you want, it often becomes just “wishful thinking.” In fact, a Harvard University study proved that those people who wrote things down got five times more accomplished than those who did not.

As a life coach, I often hear people say they lack motivation – in fact, the “motivation discussion” is almost a ritual with my new clients. You really want something, in fact you almost need it, but you just don’t have the drive to get to it. As a result, you blame yourself; you get stuck in your disappointment, your guilt, or your frustration – further and further away from your goal.

When You Know What You Want, You Get What You Want
Author: Ali Sharifi

You know what you want out of life, right? You may quickly answer, “Of course!” but take a moment to really think about this. Can you write down exactly what it is you want? Most of us think we know, but when we sit down and try to write it down, we draw a blank. Others may know what they want in general terms, but have not thought through the details. For example, you may want to be happy, but what does that really mean? Do you mean you want to go about your day grinning from ear to ear? Or would a monogamous relationship make you happy? Maybe, having ,000 in your savings account will make you happy. It’s important to know exactly what you want, in every detail.

What Are You Committed To?
Author: Betty Mahalik

Look at your life right now and ask yourself this question, "What am I committed to?" You won't have to go far to find answers; they'll virtually leap up at you. Perhaps it will be easier to see what you're not committed to. For example, I'm committed to having an organized working environment. But I'm not committed to making myself a basket case to satisfy some external standard for organization...i.e. "your desk must be clear at the end of the day in order to be productive."

Using Anger to Find Your Passion
Author: Rona Fontello

We talk so often about finding our passion, our why. I have spent months examining what I thought my passion in life was, my why - all my life I have felt so guilty for "wanting" anything - I have always put the wantsand needs of others first and when I fulfilled their wants and needs, I , in turn thought I felt fulfilled. You can see where that led! All my Passions and my whys revolved around my husband, my mother, my son, my stepchildren, my boss, my co-workers. I never allowed my passions to really revolve around my innermost desires. That was just too selfish, it just felt wrong, or so my programming went. I realized I had such a hard time finding my why, my passion, because my mother was such a martyr, and passed that along to me. I never learned how to communicate what I wanted. I was programmed to suppress those wants and needs and desires.

Transforming Shadow Comfort
Author: Jennifer Louden

Why do we choose shadow comfort? Because the moment in which we choose to turn on the TV or devour the chocolate bar is THE creative moment. This is the moment where you can choose to create or to go numb. It is the present moment, pregnant with possibility and often rife with a great variety of fears. It is in this moment that the juice comes in, where the life unfolds, the Divine speaks to you, where you get hooked up to the universal power plant.

The Simplest and most Effective Goalsetting technique ever.
Author: John D. Murphy

I am fortunate to work with people from all walks of life on a regular basis and one of the most common requests I have is to help them set and achieve ‘real’ goals. One necessity in starting this process is to take time out of our day to assess our current position and determine where we are heading and why we want to get there. Most of us should know the basics of SMART goal setting: Make them Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Tangible. That’s fine but we also need a method of keeping our selves on track and on target to make sure we achieve results.

How about 5 years, next year, or even 6 months from now.

THE PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS
Author: Craig Lock

What is success? I am not going to try to define success. I think a precise definition is impossible. Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all--it does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person who has led a simple, happy life? The simplest definition of success I think is 'to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it'. It really doesn't matter what, or how humble the undertaking is...

The most precious thing in the world
Author: Kanishka Sinha

Time is the most precious of all our resources. Every tick of a clock, each passing wave on the sands, the movement of the stars and the sun and moon across the sky all hint at it's passing. It's the most limited of resources we have on this earth. We could mine distant planets and dredge the depths of the earth but we'll never find another reservoir of time for ourselves. Every time a second passes, we have a second less to work with. A moment that can never be reclaimed. Its intangible nature sometimes makes us forget just how transient and ephemeral we are.

In Chapters 4&11 he recommended writing articles for ezines as a way of promoting a business. I wrote one, showed it to him and he liked it. Jay suggested that I write a series from my ignorant perspective as I try to implement the suggestions in the "final?" draft of the book.

Ten Keys for Reaching Your Goals
Author: David Murphy, PhD, ND, CHT

There has never been a shortage of good advice. We all know what we need to do. We have been told to lose weight, or stop smoking, or to eat more healthy foods, to exercise more, to worry less, or to relax and “chill out”, or to see the Doctor, to stop complaining and to look on the “bright side”, or just to have fun once in a while. For some reason we just never seem to get around to doing it.

Social Progress

I've always hated the term "psychotherapy" because it makes it sound as if a mind searching for wisdom is like a sore muscle needing to be rubbed. Indeed, therapists are often blamed for getting their patients to "feel better" at the expense of dulling their awareness that the world is a crazy place that needs to become more civilized -- as if our caring for other people, or for the future our children will see, were no more than a "sublimation" of more genuine, "primal" desires.

Taking a close look at the different “success formulas? I found that each differs only slightly from the others.

These “formulas?developed over time. Just like yours and mine. However, as I studied each published “formula,?I found a fundamental component of success missing.

Setting Goals: Real vs. Ideal
Author: Terry R. Hartley, PhD

Failing to attain goals is among the heaviest blows to self-concept, the totality of your thoughts and feelings about yourself. To actually attain goals depends largely on an important concept in adolescent development. It’s called delay of gratification. When you’re trying to achieve something, you’re much more likely to accomplish your goal by making a realistic plan, then following it, rather than trying to snatch up the object of your desire in one gluttonous move. Unfortunately, a great many people never come to understand this concept. They spend their entire lives seeking instant gratification.

Setting Goals – Things to Think About
Author: Gene Simmons

We hear a lot about the steps we should take to achieve our goals, however unless we take the first steps to realistically consider who and what we are right now – our capabilities and interests – and think logically about what we’d like to accomplish, our chances of achieving our “goal” are slim to none. Here are a few things to think about when you’re trying to decide what you’d like to do.

Self-development with the I Ching
Author: Hilary Barrett

What do people mean by self-development, self improvement, or personal growth? They all indicate a focus on the individual, an ideal of becoming something more than we are, or perhaps becoming more fully what we already are. Self development means exploring your potential, creating your ideal self. All manner of self-help books will tell you that the first step to real achievement is deciding what you want to achieve: to set goals. There are many ways of going about this - such as imagining what you would like people to say about you - but it can be hard to break out from your present, limited horizons to see greater possibilities. What you need is a vision of this Self that you can work with, a new way of imagining yourself.

A very helpful way to thinking about stress is that it often results from our failure to live up to our own standards and goals.

Planning Principles

The old adage reminds us that “People don’t plan to fail but a lot of people do fail to plan.” During a war, we find a tank operator and a general. Which function is more important? It is probably the general, at least in this sense. One can be the best tank operator on the line, get out there everyday and shoot off more rounds of ammunition and shoot them more accurately than anyone else on the line, but if he is not shooting at a target that makes any sense, then his whole day is wasted. The general, through advanced planning, decides where the tank operator ought to go and thereby increases his “productivity”.

We are all here to experiment the theory that we learnt before we decided to embark upon our journey in this lifetime. Sometimes life does not go as far as what was originally intended in the years of previous planning. Well, welcome to planet earth! It is, of course, alright to make mistakes in life as long as we deal with the experience in an appropriate way. In other words, your individual response to what happens to you in your experience or lesson is as important as the circumstance itself.

MOTIVATION - FOCUSING YOUR ENERGIES ON YOUR GOALS
Author: ROY BURTON

Picture this: A sales manager gathers his team around him and then says something like ‘Well, um, hello guys. I have this idea that I would, um, like to tell you about. I admit it’s not all that brilliant, but times are hard out there in the marketplace and it is the only thing I could think of, so just give it a little go and see what you can do”. How do you think a group of willing, eager salespeople would react to that flabby statement? It is an absolute certainty that any interest or commitment that team had would have flown straight out of the window. Not only did this sales manager not know what he had to do, he lacked the one thing that would have got his people fired up, ready to get out there and sell - he lacked the power of Motivation. But, before we can ever hope to ignite the enthusiasm and commitment in others we must first learn how to motivate ourselves. It is a fact that motivation, if applied skilfully, will turn a mediocre idea into something glorious, a dream or a goal worth aiming for, so

Margarine Vs. Butter
Author: Andrew Weil

For many years people have debated the merits of guns vs. butter as symbols of spending on military might or domestic comfort. Since 1869 another political debate has gone on, this one concerning the merits of margarine vs. butter. In that year a French food chemist succeeded in making a cheap substitute for the real thing, which had become scarce and expensive in the wake of a European cattle plague. The word margarine came from the Greek for "pearl," because the original version was hard, white, and glossy. It also must have been less than appetizing since it was made from beef fat, milk, and chopped sheep's stomachs and cows' udders, all treated with heat, lye, and pressure.

Infinite Patience Produces Immediate Results
Author: Peggy McColl

Practice putting yourself in a state of absolute certainty. In this state you are being certain. Being certain means that you are feeling certain, thinking certain, speaking as a certain person and taking action as someone who is certain. This means that you have evolved to a place of knowing. Knowing that you will achieve your goals. You will know that you are there because you have eliminated doubt and you know that your goal outcome will be done.

How Do YOU Define Success?
Author: Barbra White, MBA, Personal Coach

If you asked me several years ago what the word success meant, I would have answered in a predictable way: Big paychecks. Personal Achievement. Recognition. I had much of what I thought success included at that point: a high-paying job, a nice house, cool vacations. Somehow, though, I was still unfulfilled. Although I did very well at my job, I wasn't enjoying it. I also knew I wasn't living up to my full potential.

Great Goals Make You Stretch!
Author: Fran Briggs

I began enhancing my personal energy level three months shy of my 40th birthday and after 2 years of struggling with clinically-diagnosed depression. During this same period, I was challenged immensely by the debilitating effects of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and being rendered permanently partially disabled as the result of being involved in two car accidents in six days (neither of which was I at fault). I recall an incredible sense of emptiness and a daunting feeling of being completely overwhelmed; especially when trying to figure out which pills went with what ills. Unable to return to the vocation I loved, I received disability payments and simply existed. Most of my time was spent in bed where I eventually became 48 pounds "over-fat."

Goals: A 10 Part Formula for Setting and Achieving Your Goals
Author: Charles M. Marcus

We all know about setting goals, and New Year is a time when many of us tend to make those new goals. Most of the time we make them with great intentions. We have high hopes for success, and we get excited. We join that health club to get in shape or to lose those extra few pounds. We make that career change, doing that one special thing we have always dreamed about. We all want to achieve our dreams, hopes and aspirations, but for one reason or the other we frequently never see those goals that are so important to us through to action.

Goals, Purpose and Meaning
Author: Dieter, LifeMentoring.com

When reviewing your goals (which you should consider doing regularly), keep in mind the following thoughts: Goals are usually materialistic, that is in the ‚outside' world, and refer to things we want to get or to do at or within a certain period of time. But this is kind of superficial, one-sided. What you should also consider doing (probably even the first thing in this process) is to define your purpose, your meaning of life. Find answers to the following questions: ‚Why are you doing what you are doing, why are you living?' - in non-materialistic terms! If you can't answer these questions first, you will not have a solid base, and all goals will just be a shallow, useless escape- and compensation mechanism for the inner deficits.

Fun
Author: Michael Morfan

I never used to have much fun, I was far too busy working towards my creative success. I was busily searching for ideas (they never came easily), forcing myself to write articles (it always felt like a chore) and rushing to meet deadlines. The whole process was as far from enjoyable as it was possible to be, but hey, I told myself, I'm an artist I'm supposed to suffer! The funny thing was, as well as not enjoying myself I wasn't having much in the way of creative success either. Basically the work was hard to find, hard to do and hard to sell and there wasn't room in my life for much else. Put like that it's a wonder I put up with it, but put up with it I did. Are you doing something similar?

Five Proven Principles for Effective Goals
Author: Stephen Kraus, Ph.D.

Self-help books and psychologists often recommend goal setting as a powerful strategy for self-improvement and personal growth. One study in particular, the “Yale Study of Goals,” is frequently cited by self-help gurus and motivational speakers to illustrate the power of goal setting. As the story goes, researchers found that 3% of the 1953 graduating class at Yale had written goals; two decades later, that 3% was worth more financially than the other 97% combined. There’s only one problem: the study was never conducted. Attempts to find the original study have been unsuccessful, and Yale University itself is convinced that the study is a myth. This is a great example of what I call a “self-help urban legend,” a false story passed from one self-help guru to the next until it is uncritically accepted as being true.

Are you choosing what's important or is it choosing you?

Financial Freedom - Where are you?
Author: Lori White

So how can you make the transition period easier? There are many ways. First, find a way that's compatible for you, to increase the money coming in. You may be able to provide child care on the weekends for a neighbor or friend. Maybe you are mechanically inclined, or handy with tools, and can do some repairs or yard work to earn some extra cash. Another way to bring in more money is to sell something - property or items you no longer have use for. You may be able to borrow from a friend, family member, or obtain a small loan from a bank. It might be time to dip into some savings you had set aside, that you said you'd NEVER touch!

Excuses for Not Exercising

Excerpt from "Creating Your Ultimate Destiny"
Author: Robert Stuberg

What is the meaning of my life? What is the purpose of my existence? For what reason was I put here on this planet? From time to time, we’ve all asked these questions of ourselves, and perhaps we’ve asked them of our friends, loved ones, or spiritual advisors. And, of course, if you discuss these questions with different people, you will certainly notice that you get different responses. For this reason, throughout history, philosophers have debated whether there actually is a purpose for living and, if so, what it is.

They're the people that encourage you to play it safe: to get a nice safe job, to marry the first nice person you meet, to vacation in Texas instead of Africa. Does this sound a lot like your parents? That's not surprising because family members are often the worst offenders when it comes to Dream Stealing.

Don’t Set New Year’s Resolutions - Take Action in The New Year
Author: Wendy Hearn

It’s that time of year again when we start talking and thinking about New Year's Resolutions even though they’re old hat and we instinctively know they don’t work. Because your friends, family and colleagues may chat about what Resolutions they’re going to make, do you find yourself wondering whether to make any? We know that within a few days or weeks, the Resolutions will be forgotten, nothing will have changed and yet for some reason most people still worry about them. So why do we still bother with New Year’s Resolutions? First, they're a custom and a New Year ushers in a new start, so what better time than now? There's even a small chance that we may stick to our Resolutions this year, so we have a go. The main reason some people think about New Year’s Resolutions is because they want to change things in their life.

Discovering What You Want for Your Life

If you are going to handcraft a life of choice, you'll need to know what you want so that you can make the choices that take you there. The trouble is that many (most?) of you cannot name what it is you want.

Creating Your Ultimate Destiny
Author: Robert Stuberg

What is the meaning of my life? What is the purpose of my existence? For what reason was I put here on this planet? From time to time, we¹ve all asked these questions of ourselves, and perhaps we¹ve asked them of our friends, loved ones, or spiritual advisors. And, of course, if you discuss these questions with different people, you will certainly notice that you get different responses. For this reason, throughout history, philosophers have debated whether there actually is a purpose for living and, if so, what it is.

Conquering Goals: The Battle Plan
Author: Anthony Mullins

“To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe.”(Anatole France) While these three items define success, without all of them success would be unattainable. Without a dream, you will be without desire and without desire, you will be without action. If you can unlock the dream, then you can unlock success and make your dream reality.

Charting Your Course For Success
Author: Julie Fuimano, MBA, BSN, RN

Having clear goals is important to ensure successful living. With a vision in mind and landmarks for achieving success, you add direction and focus to your personal and professional life.

Characteristics Of Our Goals
Author: David Stoddard

I’ve done the goal setting things in the past. I heard of the studies where only the successful 3% have goals written down. I had ideas of what I wanted to accomplish.

Career Propects
Author: Ray Rock

Every year there are thousands of you young men and women, who are leaving school or college with the sole object of starting your working careers. One of the biggest problems you face is, there are just not enough good career opportunities available for all of you. That in itself is bad enough, but unfortunately the majority of you, are not sure in your own minds which is the right career for you to pursue. The most important point for you to remember when deciding on the career is you have forty odd years to go before you can retire. It is a fact of life that every single day of the week, thousands of people resign from their jobs, because they are dissatisfied with the conditions and the terms they are working under. Only to try and find a job somewhere else, that they will truly love, and enjoy.

Can’t See Your Way To Completing Your Goal? Then It’s Time To Check Your VISION

Have you been having trouble achieving a specific goal? Are you allowing other less important things to get in the way of accomplishing what you really want? Then this is the time to do a VISION check. Just as it is important to get our eyes checked regularly to assure that we will be able to see clearly, it is equally as important to do a VISION check to be certain that our goal is on track.

Burn Your Boat!
Author: John Boe

Do you allow fear, anxiety and worry to dominant your thinking? Do you find yourself frequently questioning your decision to become a salesperson? Having self doubt or a lack of commitment is emotionally draining and erodes your effectiveness. A truly committed person does not have the luxury nor the time for the self-indulgence of negative thinking. No great achievement has ever been accomplished without a plan and a commitment to see it through. There is magic in commitment!

Bow to Failure (It? Not What You Think)
Author: Molly Gordon, CPC

If you're like most folks, failure comes with negative judgments, and you have a variety of ways to dodge both the judgments and the bad feelings that come with them. You hunker down, often hunching your shoulders, pulling your energy in, and perhaps adopting an apologetic posture as if to say, "Don't kick me." Perhaps you adopt a studied casualness, pretending you don? care. Neither is a very powerful position.

Our lives are a montage of events. A flurry of activity. Running here and running there. Details. Details. A blur. Lots of movement, but how much accomplishment?

How do we cut through all this noise to find direction? One way is to become a life archeologist.

Be Selfish With Your Goals
Author: Jeffrey Rolo

All too often good-intentioned people set forth goals designed to satiate others rather than themselves. While the intent is honorable, the results will likely lead to failure. Why? As the somewhat provocative title of this article indicates, you need to be selfish with your goals and select ones that mean something to you.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Be Discontented With The Status Quo
Author: Rachelle Disbennett-Lee, PhD

It is natural to be satisfied with the way things are; but the moment we settle for how things are, we give up the opportunity to experience how things could be. Life is evolutionary, but only if we allow it to be. If we choose to, we can get stuck in the comfort of the status quo and miss the real opportunities that require us to step into a bigger life.

Balancing Your Life to Your Personality
Author: Jacqueline McLaughlin Hale

Given that I produce an ezine called "The Balanced Woman" I probably spend more time than most thinking about how to create a life of balance. I have searched and searched for that one magic formula that will work for everybody all the time. What I have found instead is that the basic core of a "balanced life" must revolve around each person's unique personality. If it does not, it is doomed to fail! What do I mean? It struck me this past week while watching my neighbor on vacation from her job.

Awakening Yourself to Abundance
Author: Francoise Rapp

The principle of abundance is revealed in many ancient teachings. Sacred writings reveal that the outer world is the reflection of the inner world -- as above so as below. We are surrounded by an abundance of love, joy, money and health. The amount of our intake, however, is equal to the limitations we place on our emotions, behaviors, thoughts and actions.

Asking Santa (or anyone else) for career guidance
Author: Cathy Goodwin, Ph.D.

Lynn Grabhorn's book, Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting, encourages readers to imagine themselves making outrageous requests of their own personal version of Santa Claus. But we've all heard the warning: "Be careful what you wish for…" Once I hired a "mentor" coach to help me generate business. I spent hours working on my website. I played with orange, green, and blue and black text in helvetica, geneva and garamond type faces. I added pictures. I took away pictures. My coach kept saying, "You're doing great!" On a slow week, she advised me to "clear clutter" and "move your body a new way."

Are You WISHING, or WANTING?
Author: Barbra White, MBA, Personal Coach

Many of us get caught up in wishing for things to happen in our lives. We say, "It would be nice if¡¦" or "I wish I could¡¦" A wish is passive, and it has a "maybe someday" quality about it: Someday I'll do work I love, or improve my finances, or spend a summer in Italy. There's no real commitment and no clear picture of what it would take to make it happen.

Are You Using the Right Word?

Are YOU chasing what you REALLY want?

Anything Worth Doing is Worth Doing Badly
Author: Mike Moore

Our culture seems to have elevated the quest for perfection to the status of virtue. When someone is described as a perfectionist they are frequently admired and envied. A perfectionist, in my opinion is someone living in a constant state of dissatisfaction and that isn't healthy. To perfectionists, no one, including their spouse, children, family, friends and themselves ever measures up to their impossible standards. Perfectionists spend their lives never being happy with what they have accomplished always wanting things to be perfect. I could have or should have done better becomes the motto by which they live.

An Introduction to Personal Planning
Author: Donna Birk

Most of us know a little bit about planning, because whether we realize it or not, all of us plan at some level and in some ways. Do you fill your gas tank before going on a long trip? Do you invite guests over for a visit? Do you get food on the table for a meal? Whether you think about taking an action a month, a week, or just seconds ahead of time, when you decide you need to do something before you actually do it, that is planning. Many of us, however, may not plan as effectively as we would like. If you're on the end of the continuum closer to "flying by the seat of my pants" but would like to move at least a little closer to "I know exactly what I'm going to do tomorrow, next week, and next year," then you will benefit from learning and applying personal planning strategies.

Aligning Goals With Your Values
Author: Carol Halsey

I read an article recently about why it is important to align goals with our values. It seems this salesman set his goals for the coming year.

A Star Toward Which to Press
Author: Wendyl K. Leslie

I've subscribed to "Forbes" magazine for many years. In the back of the magazine, as you may know, there's a page titled "Thoughts on the Business of Life." I always read it for the excellent quotations it carries--like this one by B. C. Forbes: "It is when things go hardest, when life becomes most trying, that there is greatest need for having a fixed goal, for having an air castle that the outside world cannot wreck. When few comforts come from without, it is all the more necessary to have a fount to draw from within. And the man or woman who has a star toward which to press cannot be thrown off the course, no matter how the world may try, no matter how far things may seem to be wrong."

A Spiritual Approach to New Year's Resolutions

A resolution method that works
Author: Nisandeh Neta

At the end of each year, it is traditional to make a New Year's Resolution. With such "agreements", we commit ourselves to resolving personal issues, yet more often than not, fail to keep these commitments. The concept in itself is a good one: to make an assessment of our lives, to contemplate what we wish to modify during the following twelve months, and then making a commitment to that change.

For all your effort do you still feel that there is something missing in your life? It is obviously very important to set goals in your life. It gives you a focus a way forward a mechanism for making decisions when faced with a number of options. However, it can also be a prison cell.

Honor your word and agreements and you will be living with integrity, where dreams really do come true.

A New Approach to New Year's Resolutions
Author: Stephanie Roberts

The New Year is traditionally a time to reflect on where we are in our lives and to think about improvements that we'd like to make. It seems obvious that the first step in choosing appropriate New Year's Resolutions should be to define specific goals for what we want to achieve in the coming year. I'm a huge fan of goal setting, but I'm no longer convinced it's the best way to approach this whole resolution thing.

A Life of Balance
Author: Russell J. Blake

I believe in the balanced lifestyle. I believe it is important to follow the middle way. This is also known as the straight way or a philosophy of not too much and not too little. In balanced living we act in activities that bring us fully aware of our highest calling or purpose. Our highest purpose is ultimately to love others. You are probably like me and want to better yourself and improve every aspect of yourself and your lifestyle. This lifelong process of continued growth pushes us to reach our full potential. It feels good to create and reach goals. It feels good to get and stay in shape and eat right. It feels good to create abundance and prosperity. It feels good to know in our heart of hearts that we are really doing our best in every area of our life.

Author: M Sairam

A few years ago, as I was at a crossroads in my life, I decided that I was going to become massively successful and not live a mediocre life.

I made up my mind, determined to be the best computer programmer, and decided that I wanted to work for a foreign company in a foreign country. None of my family members was in a foreign country. Most of my associates were not massively successful. Yet I determined with all my heart and soul that I would become one. That was the BEST decision I made regarding my career.
