An important part of achieving anything in life is lifting others up along the way. When you support others and tell them they can do anything, in turn you are actually indirectly helping yourself. This is because we see ourselves in others; so, going forward think twice now before you say anything negative about another person again because ironically it is actually something you are saying about yourself.
Many of my articles are about success and inspiration and believing in your dreams no matter what obstacles you may face. And through my own words, it is incredible how my articles have actually helped me continue to keep believing in myself, especially when it seemed that all else was falling down and crashing around me.
Just like you might feel better telling a close friend about your worries, your dreams, and what is most important to you, writing these articles has, in fact, created this same phenomenon within myself, I believe on a greater scale because I am in essence, telling the world my dreams, fears, etc. It is truly a freeing, incredible rush of terror and exhilaration; equivalent I'm sure to the feeling one might experience from a skydiving adventure.
Everyday I am working up the courage and confidence to truly make all my dreams come true. I have never given up on my dreams, just at moments they have seemed more difficult to reach. But, every time they have felt hopeless or too frightening to think about I have written another article or taken just a moment to think about all the different books I have read that have said I can do anything and my spirits have lifted again. And through them I am reminded that we all have infinite power, talents and capabilities; that it is our individual and social responsibility to remind ourselves and each other how important these dreams and visions are to the world.
To further help me in this constant challenge, I also do my best to look to other people who have what I want. When I look toward these admirable and influential people for guidance and help, I do my best to say to myself, “If they can do it, so can I!” While this works for me much of the times, sometimes I can fall back into the fear side of myself; when this happens I do my best to find more positive, forward propelling things that will help get me where I want to ultimately be in my life.
There are many things that you can do as well to keep the negative thoughts out of your mind. You can exercise, you can start a new hobby, and you can join a club. You must keep your mind thinking positive because negative thoughts are energy draining and will literally take the “wind out of your sails”. Dreams are possible, but you need to have all your energy to be able to achieve them.
Brian Tracy, self made millionaire, says that we must be very aware of what we surround ourselves with. He recommends not listening to the negative aspects in the news, not listening to derogatory media, etc. Your mind and body are affected by everything. Just imagine swimming in the ocean, you will feel the sun, the different motion and current of the waves, it will all affect you. Because of this you can learn to expect that water may sometimes sting your eyes, but you can find ways to avoid it for the most part and you can learn to “float” and either go with the flow or build up your strength to swim to any destination you choose to.
You are stronger in mind than you have ever thought you were. You are capable of doing anything you set your mind to. Make your dreams a reality!

你必须助人成功
无论你想获得什么，帮助他人成功永远是很重要的一部分。当你支持别人，告诉他们可以做任何事情的时候，反过来你其实也在间接地帮助你自己。之所以这么说，是因为从别人身上可以看到我们自己；请你在说对别人不利的话的时候能够三思，很讽刺吧，因为你在说别人的时候也是在说你自己。许多我的文章都是涉及了成功和灵感，还有无论遭遇怎样的坎坎坷坷都是中坚持自己的梦想。用我自己的话说，我的文章确实能一直使我自己相信自己让人难以相信，特别别是在其他人似乎都崩溃或是跌跌撞撞的时候。
正如我们和知己倾诉烦恼，畅谈理想，述说那些生命中对我们最重要的东西后，倍感轻松，事实上写文章也是如此。在很大程度上，我坚信本质上我们是在说我们自己，在描绘着我们自己的梦想，在诉说着我们自己的焦虑，等等。这确实是一种释放，在恐惧和兴奋的感觉难以置信地宣泄出来后；我敢肯定，那种酣畅淋漓的感觉绝正如经历了一次高空跳伞冒险运动。
每天我都增强自己的勇气和信心，去真正去实现我所有的梦想。我从来不曾放弃自己的梦想，只是偶尔感觉更难实现它们。但是，每次别人感到无助或是极度恐惧以致总觉得我仅仅是在写文章，或是在思考所有我读过的关于我可以做任何事情，我的精神又振作起来之类的书之间的差异。同时，正是通过他们我才被提醒到，我们拥有无穷的力量，天赋和才能；正是我们的个人和社会责任感提醒了我们自己和每一个人，对于世界而言，这些梦想和想法是多么的重要。
请在持续不断的挑战中进一步支持我吧。我一样尽力留心去发现那些拥有我想拥有的东西的人们。当我向这些我令我钦佩不已，影响深远的伟人寻求指导和帮助的时候，我尽量对自己说，如果他们能做到，那么我也一定能；尽管大多时候这样对我有用，有时我还是又重新陷入自身的恐惧之中；当这一切发生的时候，我尽力寻找那些那些可以使我到达梦想彼岸的积极的，充满希望的因素。
除了让那些消极的想法在你的脑海中发芽外，你可以做很很多多的事情。 你可以做运动，开始一项新的爱好，加入一个俱乐部。你必须时时拥有乐观的心态，因为悲观的心态是费神的，它们会渐渐占据你的灵魂，吞噬你梦想的帆船。梦想是可能的，但是你必须全力以赴才能实现它。
博恩·崔西，一个独立成才的百万富翁，他说，我们必须非常清楚我们所处的环境。他建议，不听新闻的负面，不听那些专门贬损人的媒体，等等。任何事物都能影响到你。 就假设你在大海里游泳，你可以感受到阳光，不一样的身体姿势，还有那涌动着的海浪，所有的这些东西都在影响着你。因为这样，你可以学会懂得：水有时会冲伤你的眼睛，但是大多时候你可以找到方法来避免，你可以学着“漂浮”；你也可以顺水而行，你也可以积蓄所有的力量，游到任何你想去的地方。
你比过去想像中的你要坚强得多。
你可以成功的做好任何你下定决心要去做的事。愿你梦想成真。
