Thoughts about Achieving success.. How to achieve your dreams, goals, and aspirations.

Achieving success..

I have been using twitter so much to update my websites and social networking that I have neglected my blogs. There are just some things a tweet cannot cover.

First off, when it comes to thinking about success, there are many thoughts that one should hold in mind.

Having a set of goals that you pursue everyday. Prioritize those goals as well. If you pursue the wrong goal when another should have more priority, you can hinder yourself in the long run.

Surrounding yourself with the right people that mutually help you in your endeavors. This mean being sincerely interested in them as well and developing valuable relationships.

Integrity is also important, if you do not stay steady in your path others will see that quicker than anything. This is not just about honesty, but keeping values, virtues and a good mixed set of skills that you never compromise. If you sacrifice something from your integrity, you divert from your path to success. Temptation can get anyone going along a destructive path and blind them from seeing their true goals and keep a person from seeing true oppurtunity.

I recommend reading books from some authors such as Dale Carnegie, Brian Tracy, Thomas J. Stanley, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Robert T. Kiyosaki and I will talk about others as well in future posts.

Developing a good sense of self esteem is one of the traits that will be most important in your endeavor towards success. Success is not an accident and that means you can achieve if you dedicate yourself to it.

There are many many successful people in the world, but far more that spend most of their time complaining everyday about things that hinder them. All that time they waste complaining, they could be putting to good use being productive and focusing on positive action.

How does one become an artist? They pick up a pencil and start drawing or a paintbrush and start painting, if they need a tool that does not exist, they create it. In any pursuit, you may not be perfect at first and the road to success is paved with lessons and failure. You learn from mistake and what works and what doesn’t and you move on. If you stay focused or dwell on an opposing force, you never make your target, reach your destination or achieve your truest potential.

Far too many people dwell on the temporary or are controlled by their emotions, rather than taking a step back, breathing and seeing things as they really are.

So for the purpose of this post, if you trully want to pursue success in business, art, photography, modeling, networking, helping people, or whatever your goals may be, learn to set goals for yourself. Get yourself healthy, eat the right foods, develop a good sense of self esteem and know what you are capable of.

Just as Eleanor Roosevelt said “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent”.

Wishing you all true, positive and creative oppurtunities for success, wealth and happiness. Take care of yourself so you can do kindness for others. Until next time. Keep dreaming big dreams and be bold enough to take steps in creating your own future.

New Direction, new goals and plans for 2010

I will always be doing my art and creative projects, it is my heart, my love and dedication. I have been doing much research over the past few months in areas that I have been quiet about until recent.

I have been researching mindsets, behaviors, successful individuals, techniques, belief structure and much more. I have been brainstorming beyond anything I have done my entire life.

Every few months I try to evolve my work to another level. Now I am taking that same mentality and applying it to the aspect of self betterment, for my personality, mental health, well being, communication with others and my craft. I am working on plans within plans, goals within goals.

I will be working to help others better their work and find ways they can improve in their own ways and find resources for their work, projects and even relationships. It’s all about staying positive and keeping personal goals in mind.

From my research and reading, i found that a majority of people never trully put together a goal plan for themselves and even less stick with it. The very action of waking up in the morning and being thankful and focusing on some aspect towards your goals can do so much. People tend to stick in survival mode and do things in a complacent mindset, even when they constantly complain, many do nothing to get themselves out of or away from the situation that makes them miserable.

I will be working on new art and symbolism in 2010. I will still be doing my fantasy art and fun photoshoots, but I will also be working on symbolic pieces. This will not be an easy task, but it will be worth it. I am going to find a way to create new symbolism from new and old ideas and provoke thought. It is important to do more than just exist, if one is to be happy, they must live. Live life to love life.

On that note, I will get back to work creating and researching. I have made an oath to myself to be a lifelong learner and I plan to keep true to that path.
