13. Share your goals:
Sharing your goals with others keeps you focused and on track. Once you tell
someone you are going to do something, it is harder not to do it. This is a great

motivator, because no one wants to look like they can’t accomplish something they’ve
set out to accomplish.
14. Hang your goals up where you can see them:
Having your goals hanging up where you can see them every day, will help keep
you focused. I have goal charts hanging all over my office. The one for building this
website consists of two poster boards. One with my to-do goals and the other is my
completed goals. I can’t tell you how it felt the day I realized the to do board was
much smaller than the completed goals board!

15.Be persistent:
I can not stress this enough! There are some days when I just stare at the computer.
Yes, I get discouraged, but I keep at it. You wanna know why? It’s because I also have
days when I write 10 good articles and plenty of days in between. The result is what
you are reading right now. This site is a perfect example of the power of setting goals.

ENHANCEMENT OF CONCENTRATION THROUGH POSITIVE THINKING
 Understand what concentration is: “Concentration is taking your mind off many
things and putting it on one thing at a time.”
 Decide what you want to concentrate on. In many ways, you become what you
focus on — that is, you take on some of its characteristics. Have you ever noticed how
couples who have been married for many years start to look like each other, or how
people often come to resemble their pets, their cars, their hobbies, or their work projects?

 Watch other people concentrating. Go see a good action movie. In the middle of
it, look around at the people in the theater. What are they doing? They are absolutely still,
eyes barely blinking, and their breath is slower. It would take a really major distraction to
break their attention stream. These physical signs may give you a hint about ways to
increase your own concentration abilities.

 Avoid constant sensory input. Multi-tasking (trying to do more than one thing at
a time), loud noises, and visual stimulation (such as from a T.V.) make concentration
much more difficult, and being around them or doing them too much can put you into a
habit of non-attention which can be hard to break.
 Make it a point to put your full concentration on whatever you are
doing. Don’t let anything distract you. It really helps to be in a quiet place, but you can
learn to block out noise if necessary.
