THE PSYCHOLOGY OF ACHIEVEMENT
By BRIAN TRACY



YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT!

A MAN BECOMES WHAT HE THINKS ABOUT ALL DAY LONG.
-- RALPH EMERSON.

YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE,
BUT WHAT YOU THINK...YOU ARE.




THE LAW OF EXPECTATIONS

WHATEVER WE EXPECT WITH CONFIDENCE BECOMES OUR OWN SELF-FULLFILLING PROPHECY. …WE ARE OUR OWN FORTUNE TELLERS.
WE MANUFACTURE OUR OWN SELF-FULLFILLING PROPHECY.

EXPECTATIONS HAVE A POWERFUL IMPACT ON OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS, AND WHAT WE BECOME.

ALWAYS EXPECT TO GROW, TO GET BETTER -- EXPECT THE BEST.
THROW OFF PAST MISTAKES OR FAILINGS.

MAKE A HABIT OF ALWAYS EXPECTING THE BEST IN WHAT YOU DO.

MANUFACTURE POSITIVE EXPECTATIONS.




THE LAW OF ATTRACTION

EACH HUMAN BEING IS A LIVING MAGNET. THINK CONTINUALLY OF THE PEOPLE AND CIRCUMSTANCES YOU ALLOW IN YOUR LIFE.




SELF ESTEEM

THIS IS THE CORE OF SELF CONCEPT.

HOW MUCH YOU LIKE YOURSELF DETERMINES HOW WELL YOU PERFORM. THE MORE YOU LIKE YOURSELF THE BETTER YOU PERFORM.



"I LIKE MYSELF ... I LIKE MYSELF ... I LIKE MYSELF…"
SAY IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

PICTURE YOUSELF AS AN ATTRACTIVE HIGH-PERFORMING HUMAN BEING. RELEASE YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS BRAKES. ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILTY FOR YOUR LIFE.



WE ARE 100% IN CHARGE OF WHAT HAPPENS TO OURSELVES. WE CONTROL OUR DESTINY. DISCARD NEGATIVE EMOTIONS.



ACCEPT TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN HEALTH.



KEEP YOUR CONSCIOUS MIND ON THE THINGS YOU DESIRE, RATHER THAN THE THINGS YOU FEAR.
