Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude
Do you want to be a successful person? If this question is put across, definitely everybody would say 'yes' and no one would say in the negative.. Everybody wants to become a successful person, but the pitiable thing is that over 90% failed in their desire to become successful. Why is it that only 10% got to the place where they want to be and a vast majority of 90% failed in their attempt. The difference between the 'desire' and the 'burning desire' makes all the difference.
I is sure that everybody has desires. They may wary from person to person, but surely everybody has desires and the common desire is to become rich. Definitely all would have tried some way or other to achieve this goal. But most people gave up in mid way and in majority cases they would not have started at all. The skeptical thinking and the fear psychosis hold them from getting started But people with burning desire won't give up mid way. They will pursue their efforts till they get their success. Sure, they will not taste success in their very first attempt itself. But they have a good sense of realization that committing mistakes is a learning process. They take their failure as a stepping stone, and get going in their efforts consistently and persistently.
A sure way to become successful
Have dreams (burning desire)
Write down your dreams and read them daily
Practice self talking. An example: 'I am a great person. I am achieving my dreams. I am happy and I also make my family and the people around me happy'. Write down your own version and practice it daily.
Set your goals. Precisely write down your short term, medium term and long term goals.
Put a plan to achieve your goals.
And finally put your plan into action
Take a firm decision to get started. Never let your fear psychosis stopping you from getting started. Don't afraid that you will make mistake and do something wrong. It is far better to get started on your success journey of learning and making a couple of mistakes, than it is to let months go by, never make a mistake and never get started. Take some steps to change things and don't give up. Change your way of thinking. If you think you will succeed you will, if you think you will fail you will! Practicing the success principle will make you believe in yourself, firm up your desire and put you in the right direction to achieve your success.
The fear psychosis
There are two common fear psychosis holding people from getting started.
Fear of failure and
Fear of criticism
This fear psychosis form the main reason for the failure of the 90% majority. Realize that all the successful people tasted their success only after facing so many failures and all the successful people had been criticized for what they were doing. They were criticized because they did things differently. Successful people won't do different things, but do things differently. So making some changes to yourself, your routine and your way of thinking is essential in making you eligible to the elite group of successful people.
Never ever entertain skeptical thinking. Don't allow others to steal your dreams and allow them to be acted as your boss to determine your destiny. You have to pay some price and do what it takes to be a successful person. But the life after your success will be wonderful and you will forget the pains when you are standing apart from the 90% mediocre crowd.

Chinese Zodiac System: Some Interesting Details
Before switching to the regular solar calendar of the western origin, the Chinese used to follow their own calendar which was based on lunar cycles. So, Chinese astrology is based on the conventional lunar calendar, which has twelve cycles of the moon.
There are twelve different animals in Chinese zodiac. Each zodiac period consists of full moon cycle, from new moon to full moon. Therefore, twelve full lunar cycles are there in a Chinese Zodiac year. However, one animal stands for a whole year. So, a Chinese cycle goes round for twelve years before starting all over again. Unlike in western system, where your zodiac comes around every year, in the Chinese system you can celebrate your zodiac birthday only once in twelve years.
There are several legends associated with the creation of the Chinese calendar. One of them has it that the gods wanted to test which of the animals could reach their position the fastest. So, they asked all of them to compete by swimming through a river. The order of their reaching is reflected in the Chinese zodiac. According to another legend, before leaving earth, Lord Buddha asked the animals to visit him. And when they went to meet him, he named the moon cycles according to the order of appearance of the animals. This makes the Chinese zodiac a circle with twelve equal parts much like a pie sliced into twelve parts.
There are specific characteristics associated with every zodiac animal in the Chinese system. The animals are ox, rabbit, tiger, rat, snake, sheep, horse, monkey, rooster, boar, dog and dragon.
So, if you fall under ‘rat’, you are supposed to be aggressive, charming, perfectionist and a little secretive. You are also party loving and somewhat stubborn. Those who belong to the ‘rat’ zodiac may also be somewhat mean at times. Therefore, each zodiac represents a complete personality with both positive and negative traits.
Chinese zodiac system is much different from the solar-based western zodiac system we are all so familiar with. However, many a time the traits you are supposed to have under western system are much the same as those under the Chinese system. That’s quite amazing. This, however, may not happen in all cases.

You're Not Alone!
One of the most asked questions from clients would have to be “Am I the messiest person you’ve ever seen?” Somehow we all seem to think that we are the worst. What type of clutterer you are can help you to laugh at yourself as well as realize that others have the same problem. Read on to see if you fit a profile.
1) Delayed Decision Don
Don will do almost anything to avoid making a decision (even an easy one). It’s scary to make a decision (what if it’s not right)?
The best way for Don to get over his fear would be to start making small decisions toward de-cluttering. Moving pens from a cup on the desk to a drawer organizer inside the desk would be a start. A professional organizer would help Don get through some decisions that might have been tough and eventually he will realize that it is better to make a bad decision and learn from it, then to have made no decision at all.
2) Pack Rat Penny
Penny seems to feel better in closed nest-like places. She hasn’t seen the floor in certain rooms in her home for 5 years. Penny is usually willing to let go of items across the room, but can’t reach them.
Penny should stop accepting freebies (just because it’s free doesn’t mean you have to take it) and not purchase things until she spends some time unearthing what she already has. It can be as much fun to find things that you haven’t seen in a while as it is to get new. A professional organizer would help Penny get out things she doesn’t want and make more room for her to continue the purging process.
3) Overwhelmed Oscar
Oscar does not want to take phone calls for fear that he’s missed something. He knows that he received something in the mail, but has no idea where to look.
The best advice for the overwhelmed is to begin what is often referred to as a brain dump. Have them list everything on paper they can think of and then take some “vacation” time to quit answering phones and to face the bitter reality by looking at filing all the paperwork. Oscar should seek a professional organizer, even if for a short time to help him learn ways to focus and develop some systems to avoid returning to a frantic state.
4) Collector Calvin
Calvin may not realize he’s a collector. Perhaps he collects plastic grocery bags, containers, key chains, flashlights or trinkets. He tends to forget that he’s bought the same thing four times and delights whenever he finds another item to add to his collection.
The best thing for Calvin to do is find the best of the best in his collection and sell or donate the rest of the items. He needs to ask some tough questions about what he really will use and what just isn’t necessary. Perhaps he’ll even have some items that could be given as gifts. Let someone else enjoy what you’re not using. A professional organizer would ask Calvin the tough questions that would help him stop collecting things he doesn’t need.
Perhaps you found yourself in one of these profiles. If so, take the suggested actions to break out of your shell and call reinforcements if you need to.
