Most answers:

MOST As – THINK ABOUT YOURSELF

You should start thinking about yourself more often. It’s great that you care for everyone around you, but you shouldn’t forget about your own needs. If your close ones get used to you always making a sacrifice for them, they’ll start using you to their advantage. Help your siblings or friends, but let them know that you have your own goals and won’t always be able to put their  issues first. It’ll make others respect you, and you’ll achieve your goals more quickly.

MOST Bs – ENJOY LIFE

Actually, you don’t have to change everything. You approach every task professionally – you’re always well-prepared and have a lot of power to act. Don’t forget that making your dreams come true is above all about… fun 😉 A kid’s joy for life that will accompany you everyday will help you avoid the “burnout” and, as a result – you’ll be more happy.

MOST Cs – GET MOTIVATED

Get motivated! No wonder that you get all discouraged if you keep assuming that you won’t succeed anyway. Get inspired and keep reminding yourself how you’ll feel when you make your dream come true. If you lack the power, talk to your friend, or a personal coach. Every method is good to finally get down to work! 😉

MOST Ds – FOCUS ON ONE GOAL

Think what it is that you really want to achieve and focus on one goal. You tend to be distracted, because, as always, you’re trying to kill too many birds with one stone 😉 Unfortunately it’s a very short-term solution. If you’ll keep focusing on many hobbies at once, you’ll end up tired and unhappy, and the goal will be harder to reach. Remember: one thing at a time!

MOST Es – LIVE YOUR LIFE THE WAY YOU WANT IT

Stop worrying what others might think. My favorite rule sounds: NOONE WILL LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOU. You know what goals you have, what to spend your pocketmoney on, and what is it that you like most. Don’t let anyone tell you that your dreams are stupid and don’t make sense. They’re your treasure, a beautiful and great one. If you find it hard to face other people’s critique, don’t brag about joining a yoga class or taking drums lessons. People will notice anway 😉

MOST Fs – LEARN SOME OPTIMISM

Work on your positive attitude – it’ll help you make your dreams come true! 😉 If you keep being jealous about other people’s success, criticizing everything and everyone around, while being sure that you’re always right, you’ll find it hard even to VERBALIZE your goal. Why should one dream if nothing makes sense anyway? 😉 Just smile and ask a successful friend what they do to achieve their goals 😉
