Article Body:
When we talk about our goals, we use the word "should" a lot. Most of us think it's just an innocent word that helps us get out of boring conversations and confrontations about our bad habits. However, the word "should" poisons our speech and ambitions by inferring that what we're doing isn't good enough, and that we would be better off doing something else.

When you say you "should" do something, what are you really saying?

1. It's an obligation that you're not fond of.
We don't talk about how we "should" do things that we don't feel obligated to do. If we are excited about eating cake, we don't say, "I "should" eat cake." We just do it! However, if we feel obligated to eat celery, it becomes a "should." If making cookies for the bake sale is a "should," it's an obligation. If it were a fun activity, it would be easy for you to just do it.

2. You're not going to do it and you have an excuse as to why.
"I "should" ________________," is usually followed by, "but ______________." When you say things like this, you are proclaming to the world that you agree one course of action would be appropriate, and that you're going to do the exact opposite. Imagine how foolish you would sound telling your boss, "I know that the appropriate thing to do is to stay late and finish the proposal so I am prepared for tomorrow's meeting, and instead of doing that I am going to go home and take the chance of not finishing it before the meeting tomorrow morning." If this is what you really mean, why bother disguising with a "should?" Deep down, you know what's really going on.

3. You know exactly what you need to do to make things better and you haven't started yet!
For all of you out there who "should" stop smoking, who "should" lose weight, or who "should" go back to school, you know exactly what you want to do to make your life better for yourself, and you're using "should" as a lame excuse not to take action! Of course, standing on the sidelines is much easier than running after the ball, but you don't win any games that way. If you have a long list of "should's" and a short list of goals, choose which of those "should's" you will follow through with and put your plans on paper.

If instead of feeling that your day is just one thing you "should" do after another thing you "should" do, turn your "should's" into definite "will's" or "will not's." While "should" robs you of power and motivation, "will" gives you power and resolve to get things done. With fewer "should's" in your vocabulary, you'll find yourself speeding along the road to accomplishment.

In this article today I want to share with you three top tips for success! Success to you could be many things; however we are all capable of a dream, just like we are all capable of achievement. Let me ask you a question – if you could do anything right now, what would you do? Maybe you would become a millionaire; maybe you would lose some weight, maybe you would buy a holiday home someplace hot or maybe you would like to just feel happier. Whatever you want to achieve, you can. It might not be simple to get to your goal, but it is achievable as only you set the limits on what is impossible.

1.Define your goal! This is the most important part as here you will work out exactly what you want to achieve. When thinking about your goal your mind will sometimes go off in a daydream as you start thinking about what you want to achieve. You need to make these daydreams positive, as when we daydream we are telling the subconscious parts of our brain what we want. This helps with tip two, but on to that in a minute. When you define your goal – make sure that it has no negative side effects. For instance, becoming a millionaire and having a gambling problem won’t really go hand in hand – you will need to deal with the gambling first as not to get yourself in a worse position.

2.Deal with your limiting beliefs! Limiting beliefs are like cancer to success. It is best to deal with them upfront and firmly. When we daydream our beliefs and our limiting beliefs get more of a foothold with in our brain and before long they just pop up automatically. Allow yourself to daydream about your achievement, but always allow it to be positive. Before long this new positive attitude will win through, stomping on any of the old limiting beliefs from the past.

3.Stop the complaining! Success is not always going to be easy – sometimes it means going out of your way. Don’t let yourself whinge or complain as this will only lower your moral. Just keep in mind all of the wonderful things that success and achievement are going to bring you! Keep an image in your mind of how great it is going to feel when you have achieved your goal and all of the wonderful things that will happen because of your success.
