1. Formulate a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Never permit this picture to fade and never doubt the reality of
this image no matter how bad the circumstances you are in.
2. Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal powers comes to mind,
deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.
3. Do not build obstacles in your imagination. Difficulties must be studied and
efficiently eliminated. They must not be inflated by fear thoughts.
4. Chart out a daily routine suitable to your lifestyle. Write it in a diary and follow it
as a regular habit. For example:-
5.30 a.m.-6.00 a.m . = Waking up and doing morning chores
Drink a glass of water
6.00 a.m.-6.30 a.m . = Morning exercise and then again drink at least two
glasses of water. Have a fresh morning bath.
6.30 a.m.-7.00 a.m. = Pray to God and then plan all activities for the day.
7.00 a.m.-7.30 a.m. = News paper reading (nowadays it is net browsing) and breakfast.
---------- and so on -----------
6. Do not be awe-struck by other people and copy them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as "You".
7. Repeat these dynamic words loudly many times "If God be for us who can be against us" (ie Romans chp 8: vs 31)
8. Repeat also the following words loudly many times "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (ie,
Philippians chp 4: VS 13)
9. Make an estimate of your own ability, then raise it 10 percent. Believe in your more God-released powers.
10. Put yourself in God's hands by stating, "I am in God's hands and the kingdom of God is within me". Believe that
you are receiving all the power needed to face all of life's challenges.
11. A very important task is to study the cause of any of your inferiority and self- doubt feelings. These are normally attained
during childhood. Try to understand them and undertake a self-cure. It may be difficult but always be calm and evaluate
each issue at a time. Then analyze the cause and think of the remedies. If your efforts are unsuccessful you should get
the assistance of a counselor (someone trustworthy).

INGREDIENTS TO IMPROVE ONE'S CAPABILITIES
Ability
Ability alone is not enough for success. It must be sparked by
ambition and sustained by integrity and determination. Many an
able person fails to achieve anything worthwhile, because he or she
just doesn't care. Many who do not care loose because they cannot be trusted, and others who are able, ambitious and trustworthy simply
give up too soon. It is essential that the four work horses for success –ABILITY,AMBITION,INTEGRITY and DETERMINATION pull together
as a team until their work is done.
Self Esteem
Self esteem (self-respect, feeling of self –worth) is how you feel about yourself. People with high self esteem like themselves, feel warm and loving towards themselves. They have a positive opinion about who
they are as a person. The better you feel about yourself, the easier it
is to impart feelings of respect and esteem to others namely co-workers, customers, family members, friends and seniors.
Setting Goals
A goal is something you strive to attain. It is an aim, a purpose,a
target, a mission, an ambition or an objective. Goals provide you
purpose and direction in life.
