Are you a victim of "small thinking"? This is the syndrome which stricken most to a life of mediocrity. The vast percentage of the population sabotages themselves by the thoughts they have. Few will enter the realm where they allow their dreams to roam freely. We become products of an average mindset.
If you want to be a huge success, it is vital that you enlarge your thinking. Those who achieve greatness have vivid dreams. For many, their imagination is their most valuable asset. They simply think on a level which is higher than most. Fortunately, this is something that is available to everyone who is willing to grasp it.
Sex is one of the most powerful motivators we have. One's sexual lifestyle tends to show the level of thinking that one has. Do you have an incredible sex life or are you one who settles for less than you want? This is an indication of where you are. If you are one who goes after those who are in "your range", then you are a victim of little thinking. Why can't you have the supermodel? Someone is getting that person. Why not you?
I will tell you why: because you most likely are not even in the game. People who think like everyone else live life on the sidelines. They do not venture out because of the risk of rejection. Their precious egos are too frail to handle it. They will walk the safe path in hopes that things might someday change. Of course we all know it will not.
Going after someone sexually who you "consider above you" is a wonderful way to step out of your old thinking. This is one area where you will instantly see tangible results. Of course, you need to be aware that the risk of rejection is still there. However, we are not concerned about what the outcome is (if he or she goes for it, great). The important part of all this is that you actually take the action to get out of your old behavior. Just approaching a person like this yields beneficial results.
This concept applies to all areas of your life. There is nothing that is limited other than what your mind creates. Living a mediocre life is a choice. The only reason you are where you are is because you chose it. Resist the temptation to blame all others around you. Take responsibility for your life. If you life is "too small", it is because you are a little thinker. Unleash the power of your dreams by enlarging the arena in your mind. Remember, mentally there are no limits.

Success Key: Focus
Did you know the ability to focus is one of the most basic needs for success? Many believe they have this capability yet further analysis quickly reveals they do not. We are in the age of instant messenging, cell phones, and Internet on the run. With all those things going on around us, it is easy to get distracted.
I once heard a quote on M*A*S*H that made a lot of sense. Winchester, the uptight Bostonian doctor, told the others that "he does one thing at a time, he does it well, then he moves on". This is a sound aspiration to have. The ability to focus our complete attention on one activity makes us much stronger.
Multi-tasking seems to be the mantra of the day. The problem with this idea is that the brain has the ability to only focus on one thing at a time (at the conscious level). Multi-tasking only serves to split our attention between two (or more) details. Simple division will lead you to understand that concentrating on two things at one time will make you 50% effective.
Actually, this idea is a bit misleading. As mentioned, the mind can only focus on one thing at a time. When you have two things going simultaneously, your attention truly switches back and forth between the two activities. Therefore, the mind is in 100% concentration yet it is constantly starting and stopping. This leads to ineffectiveness. The concept of momentum is another powerful tool for success and it is impossible to generate while switching in this manner.
To take your life to the next level, start to harness the power of the mind. Focusing on one thing at a time is how that is accomplished. This will take practice to develop the discipline. We are so trained to mentally be in many different areas at one time. For example, how many web browser do you have open at this moment? Obviously you can only view one page at a time. Nevertheless, most people have more than one tab open. Add to that the fact that the instant messenger is on and you can see how getting anything accomplished is tested.
The best way to start is to turn all that stuff of. Shut off the television, close the web browsers, and instant messenger to reduce distractions. Focus on only doing what is directly in front of you with complete attention. You will quickly notice how much more effective you are. Also, an added bonus is realized: you will get things done in a shorter period of time. The momentum developed by concentrating on one activity allows you to garner all the power of your mind. This is the foundation of success.
