Visualize your success. Express curiosity about everything you face. Surround yourself with other people who are successful. Adjust your expectations for a realistic outcome.
The more vividly and accurately you imagine your success, the easier it will be for you to follow through. When you face failure or setbacks, remind yourself that you can achieve your dreams after all.  Dedicate a few minutes every day to imagining your success. Imagine yourself in a movie in which you are successful. What are you doing in the movie? What is your success like? Savor the feeling of your success, and use it as motivation to stoke your fire. Make a vision board of what success means to you. Use images and motivational quotes found in magazines or websites to help you create the board. Put it somewhere you will see it often, such as your office or kitchen. Cultivate a healthy motivation when imagining your success. Successful people all believe in themselves and their missions. Many successful people have an insatiable curiosity. If they don't understand how something works or don't know the answer to a question, they find out. Often, this takes them on a quest of self-discovery, one in which the journey is just as important as the destination.  Ask questions about everything you encounter. For example, ask the vet about what makes your dog different from a human or chat with your neighbor about their garden. If you encounter something new, try looking it up or researching more about it. What can you learn from it? Talk to other people about their experiences and successes. You might learn something new about someone you have known for a long time. Curiosity helps you find wonder and joy in everything. It can help you enjoy the journey of discovery rather than just working towards an end goal. When you're surrounded with people who are highly-driven, it's encouraging. You can bounce ideas off people, and they can even connect you with other people. They can also motivate you and support you through the process.  Study famous people through their books, lectures, and biographies. Model some of your approaches around theirs, if possible. Knowledge is as free as it is powerful. Look around in your own life. Do you know someone who has the success that you envision for yourself? What are they doing? How do they approach life? Ask them for advice. Avoid people who discourage you or prevent you from reaching your goals. They will only hold you back on your way to success. It's a truism in business that you need to have high self-confidence to get things done, but make sure that your expectations are manageable and are realistic. If your expectations are too high, it will be harder to achieve your goals or overcome failure.  Allow there to be some flexibility in your expectations. For example, instead of expecting guaranteed success at your new job, you might think, “Well, it might take me a while to get established. If it doesn't work out, I can find a different job." Remember that there will always be variables you can’t control. You can  control, however, how you react to situations. For example, if an unexpected expense comes up, tell yourself that it is only a temporary setback. Pay attention to feedback. Even if it is hard to handle sometimes, constructive criticism can help you identify areas where you can improve. Learn to expect failure. It is impossible to achieve success without stumbling at some point along the way.
