You can hit the Jackpot.

Yes, you can!

You could attract Lady Luck, because nearly everybody does it at some point in their lives. Pursuing a partner, a career, the living of your life, you name it, inevitably leads to a certain degree of success. Often against the odds, because you were driven to it. Then why not make a habit of hitting the Jackpot again and again? Spectacular things seem to happen to others, from time to time.

When is it your turn?

The secret of sustainable success is quiet self-criticism.

Every day you should close your eyes somewhere and ask yourself, if you’re doing the right thing in order to get from Here to There. You should make yourself sweat, every time, as you require yourself to do your utmost in order to bring the best out of you. You need to shake yourself up constantly, in order to live like you deserve to live. You should be in a trance-like state of mind, never standing still, but always moving. Complacency is your enemy, because the world is changing so fast, that you haven’t got time to lose. You have to be able to adapt to different circumstances all the time.

To go after a better life, you have to take calculated risks.

Why not identify the risks you are willing to assume in order to reach certain goals? Remember to always have a backup plan if things initially don’t work out. You don’t want to be left High and Dry! As long as you have a clear vision of what you want to achieve, you will have enough mental strength not to be overwhelmed by fear of failure. Risk-takers have to muster enough courage to do the job. ‘Just do it’ (Nike)! Planet Earth is a tough place and a can-do attitude is essential for you to live up to the challenges, that await you.

Your life is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, believe it or not.

And that’s why you should pursue your goals with a positive attitude, no matter what your failure rate happens to be. You can’t imagine, how many, seemingly fatal failures, many very successful people have had! Doing it wrong to get it right. Going for failure sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Well, pushing yourself to the limit involves a high chance of failure. But that is part of the process. You are actually preparing yourself for great success. So don’t wait around, until the lights go out for the last time.
