&lt;p&gt;Very well said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have my BIG goal, and then many subgoals, and then specific projects that get me where I want to go and give me the skills and expanded comfort zones to go after the next piece on the journey. Three daily actions move me along. With a gratitude journal I can then look back (when I get contemplative or discouraged) and see just how far I have traveled already. Building in breaks for celebration and respite are also a key component for me. But I never rest for long.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I used to photograph events - capturing peak moments and heartfelt emotions as well as tastefully conveying the tougher emotions like grief. Photography is a beautiful way of capturing a feeling and be able to relive it at will. Using powerful images that evoke powerful emotions can be a key to keep you motivated in the face of adversity. Be clear of what YOU want, not what you think you SHOULD want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for sharing Dr. M.&lt;/p&gt;

What do you have a burning desire to have in your life? &amp;nbsp;Your feelings for it must be strong enough to feed you in times of doubt. &amp;nbsp;FIND YOUR PASSION.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then, brainstorm on the things that you can do to get you there. &amp;nbsp;Don&amp;#39;t let time or money deter you. &amp;nbsp;Take pen and paper and just start writing; write down everything even if it seems crazy (as long as it&amp;#39;s legal). &amp;nbsp;Write and write and write. &amp;nbsp;Our gift of imagination is meant as a tool to be used for good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now, looking at your list, what can you do right now, in your present situation, in 5-15 minutes? Break down tasks of more than one step into actions that you can do within 5-15 minutes. &amp;nbsp;Each day make a promise to yourself that you will do at least one of the steps. &amp;nbsp;You can do more if you have the time and motivation but make a self promise to do one each and every day, seven days a week. &amp;nbsp;Isn&amp;#39;t your life worth improving? &amp;nbsp;There is no need to take a day off from your dream, is there? &amp;nbsp;If it&amp;#39;s not worth working for then you don&amp;#39;t want your goal badly enough.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Where will you be one year, one month or one week from today if you sit and do nothing toward your dream/ passion/ goal? At birth you were blessed with everything that you needed to get what you want from life whether you believe that or not. &amp;nbsp;You will need something to get your dream, everyone does. &amp;nbsp; If you need a skill, you have the ability to get it. &amp;nbsp;Figure out how. &amp;nbsp;If you need money, brainstorm on how you can get it. &amp;nbsp;You have talents you have not used yet! &amp;nbsp;Take action and believe in yourself! &amp;nbsp;You can do this!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Be grateful each day for everything that you already have. &amp;nbsp;You are already blessed in more ways than you give yourself credit for. &amp;nbsp;Bless the world with what you have to offer, even a smile, everyday! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If your belief is so strong this belief will transfer itself to others, so believing in your children and their inate abilities will transfer that belief to your children's lives and they will become successful. &amp;nbsp;When they say success breeds success, it is the belief that breeds success!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is part of everything that you do, and what comes your way. Even if you are not born beautiful, if your character is beautiful you will attract all those you wish to attract to you. &amp;nbsp;If you look for the positive even in negative, the positive will overcome the negative. &amp;nbsp;If you are molested and say to yourself, that the positive out of this is that you will understand others, and your own pain will leave you forever.&lt;/p&gt;
