Maintaining control over your time and mind is crucial to your success in all areas of life. There is, however, one more major aspect that you must maintain complete control of before you can ultimately cruise on your path to success.

That said aspect is your life and maintaining complete control over your life is much simpler than you think if you observe the following:

1) Take proper and adequate care of your body and health. Always ensure you have a balanced diet of nutritional meals, exercise regularly and get at least 6 - 8 hours of adequate sleep. This will rejuvenate your body, improve your blood circulation, increase your energy, sharpen your focus and strengthen your attention span. The more energy you efficiently expend on aerobics exercises, the more energy you will get throughout the rest of the day.

2) Be confident of your appearance. Do not despair over the way you look just because you have a mole or a zit on your face. Learn to tell yourself that you look good and at the same time, take necessary steps to look good by spotting tidy and combed hair, wearing clean clothes, cologne and perfume, wearing matching accessories like watches, necklaces or earrings, etc.

3) Understand your feelings and understand how to control them. If you are constantly feeling angry, learn how to curb your anger by taking a walk, sitting or lying down. Do not bear grudges and learn to forgive and forget because it can be detrimental to your health and mind if you don’t. When you are feeling sad, confide in your family and friends and cry if you have to in order to release your sadness. If you are constantly feeling bored, inject some humour in your life as laughter is the best medicine.

4) Have a positive and optimistic attitude. Things will seem easier to manage and better things will come to you when you adopt this attitude. In addition, life will seem less dreadful and you will be able to cope better with problems and stressful situations.

5) Set proper and realistic goals and targets. You must be clear about what you want to achieve in specific periods of your life and the best way to do this is by adopting and practising goal-setting techniques. The easiest goal setting technique you can use is the 3Ws, 1H strategy - namely what you want to achieve, why you want to achieve it, when you want to achieve it and how will you go about achieving it.

You are now equipped with essential knowledge and tools to control your life. It is entirely up to you to take specific actions and exact measures to apply these tools to effectively steer the trajectory you are taking towards your success in life.

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

FOCUS + FEELING + ACTION = ATTRACTION

While I don’t believe in pat formulas for success, I’d like to share some ingredients for attracting more of what we want in life. It goes like this: whatever we FOCUS on, FEEL, and ACT on, we ATTRACT. Call it ‘a recipe for success’ if you will. (Not "THE" recipe, but "A" recipe). If any of these ingredients are missing, there’s less chance of manifesting what you want.

If you have the mental focus (i.e. you write down your goals/objectives, put them in a visible place, say your daily mantras/affirmations) but lack the feeling of what it would actually be like to accomplish your goal, you can say your affirmations till your blue in the face and nothing would happen.

Likewise if you have powerful feelings and are doing lots of activity but are lacking focus and direction, you will burn out fast without accomplishing much. In fact, if you’re focus is misplaced, you could end up courting disaster. Take a look at professional race car driving. Some of the deadliest accidents occur right when drivers are rounding the curve. Some of the inexperienced drivers, as they are rounding the curve, will stay visually focused on the curve they are trying to clear. And guess what happens? You got it…they end up smashing right into the curve! More experienced professionals will immediately shift their focus in the opposite direction of the curve and thus get past it. Are you focusing on your problems or solutions?

If you have the focus and feeling down pat (your doing your mantras, writing your goals, developed your plan, are experiencing passionate feelings of reaching your desired objective) but are not taking daily and consistent action towards your goal, again you will always be coming just short of your desired outcome.

There are some extras that I’d like to add. If after you’ve done everything humanly possible, you place your FAITH and trust in the natural process that creates all things, and stop worrying and fretting, you will attract more of what you want in abundance. Think about it, would you plant a flower seed in the soil, and after a week of waiting, watering, and giving it lots of love and sunshine, dig it up and yell, "WHY AREN’T YOU GROWING! YOU’RE USELESS!"? Well, isn’t that what we do with our own dreams sometimes?

Finally, if you add the HERO ingredient of SERVING others, of reaching your dreams by also helping others and creating value for other people, you will live a much more fulfilling life. We can certainly attract the stuff we want in life, but without giving back to the community or helping others along the way, we can often be left with a shallow, empty feeling inside.
