Successful people know that how they respond to things and the choices they make can mean the difference between reaching their desired result and failure. They know how to respond to the events in their life and make choices that propel them closer to their goal. How many times has opportunity come knocking on your door, only to be turned away because of a negative emotion: fear, doubt and anger? How many times have you made the wrong choice only to blame or find fault in another?

"Our limitations and success will be based, most often, on your own expectations for ourselves. What the mind dwells upon, the body acts upon" Denis Waitley

Over the course of our lives, we have made several thousand decisions and choices. These choices are why we are where we are in life. For every experience, event and crossroad, we were faced with the challenge of responding to create a specific outcome. Now imagine if you could control your outcome? Create the ending that you want?

That is what outcome thinking is about. Complete focus on your target in a way that you are thinking about it as though you already achieved it. - Creating a mental picture. If you are a Harry Potter fan, you remember that in the first movie Harry came upon a magic mirror. The Mirror of Erised. The mirror has magical powers and shows the viewer thier "deepest and most desperate desire of their hearts". When you would look into the mirror, the reflection would be of exactly the way he or she desires to be. Harry Potter saw himself surrounded by his dead parents and his best friend, Ron Weasley, saw himself as Quidditch captain and Head Boy. If you truly want to change your life, now is the time to rewrite your story and see yourself in the future as you want to be seen. Focus on that and create that to be your outcome.

What is it you wish to accomplish in your life? What values do you stand for? What are your goals for the next 94 Days? Once these are known, it is possible to determine what actions would move us closer to our goals and what actions would move us further away from our goals. Than it is left to one thing: Your choice. You are 100% responsible for your life and you are where you are suppose to be because you took the actions to bring you to your current circumstance. Only you have the power to make real change and only you have the choice. You just simply need to take action and make it.
