    Set smaller goals. I don't mean that you should not reach for the stars, however, I do know that to get to the stars you have to first get into the atmosphere. Feeling good about yourself is a constant process. Confidence does not just happen overnight. When you look at your life goals consider breaking them up into smaller, stepping stones to the end result. That way you can have a constant flow of positive reinforcement as you achieve the steps along the journey of life.

    Communicate with positive and confident people more. Positive people are not trying to pressure you. Choose or modify your social circle, as it directly affects your self-confidence. There is an excellent - "Lives with the cripple, learns how to limp".

    Take care of your health. If you feel good, you can achieve a lot. Regular exercises develop physical strength, perseverance and boost stress resistance. Choose a healthy diet and sleep a lot. Breaks for rest and relaxation, your personal time should be as usual in your daily routine as, for example, brushing your teeth. Enjoy the fact that you look good, and try to take everything from life. Others will look at you with interest and respect.

    This book will help you identify effective methods designed to bring out your charismatic personality.  

    I would like to encourage you to begin the journey by looking at yourself and accepting what you see. There can never be another you so be all you can be for the time being.   

    The next step is to put the things you have learned in action and begin to change your life.

      Reward Yourself - Dr. Michael Ericsson

      Chapter 1 –  How to Dominate Your Day with Morning Routine

      What do you do the moment you wake up? Do you start your day by checking messages on your tablet? Or by checking your news feeds from different social media sites on your laptop? Or by doing nothing because you don’t really have any time for any morning rituals because you’re late for work or school? Or you simply woke up late and have nothing to do but sleep again?

      Sounds familiar, right? You may be a night owl but being a morning person is not so bad. According to researchers, whatever you do first thing in the morning actually affects the whole day ahead. You may be wondering how.

      Let’s put it this way: you’re a writer and you’re starting a new book but you find it hard to start writing because you can’t seem to make up your mind or better yet you have no springboard. In another context, you’re an entrepreneur and you’re starting out on a new venture but then you’re having a difficult time since you don’t have enough resources.

      Just like a good book having an awesome springboard or a fortunate business having enough resources, you too must have an awesome springboard and enough resources so that your day would end up being a fascinating one! Here are some of the springboards you should have:

      Say a Prayer

      Prayer is the greatest way for starting your day right. When you start and end your day with a prayer, you will have a peaceful heart and a peaceful soul. Your prayer does not have to be lengthy and full of sugar coated phrases. Just pray to be thankful for another chance in life and to pray for strength to hold on through all the challenges you are currently facing and for all the challenges that are to come. Pray with a sincere heart and surely you will be heard!

      Exercise

      Once you’re finished mastering your spirit, why not exercise your body? Exercising is one way of keeping your body healthy and in shape. Health experts believe that there are many benefits you can gain when you exercise. Here are some: You get energized and surely you’ll shake off that lazy feeling. You’ll have an increased metabolism which pretty much helps you become more resistant to common sicknesses. You would feel great about yourself and start to build your confidence. Those are just some of the things you would get when you work that body. So, start working that body and show the world what you have benefitted from exercising.

      Don’t forget to Eat

      Experts say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so don’t ignore breakfast. It is important because it helps give you the energy you need to start your day and because it is linked to many health benefits. Also, eating breakfast helps you feel less tired and helps keep you concentrated on the tasks you need to accomplish within the day. You may be conscious about your body which is why you may be concentrated on dieting, but you still should eat breakfast each morning.

      Show that Smile 

      While you say your prayers and be intimate with the Creator, why not try to smile? Aside from being grateful for another day, smiling to a new day actually helps you start your day with a good mood. It helps you feel good and ultimately makes you happy. It eliminates all that stress in you and replaces it with a worry-free morning. So smile but don’t just smile; show the world your biggest smile!

      Go Crazy

      One of the best ways to have that extra special dose of happiness is listening to your favorite song. Music helps calm your mind and helps you feel good about your day. It encourages you to be awesome and to be who you want to be. So turn the volume up, sing your heart out and shake that body to the beat of the music!

      Simply You

      Simple joys in life are worth more than the happiness you get from having fame and money. You may be rich and famous but somehow there would come a time that you won’t be happy anymore and all that fame and money would somehow cease to exist. Don’t miss out on all the things that make you happy. What matters most is how happy your heart is and how your happiness infects other people.

      Meditate

      Meditation is a way for you to inner peace and to lengthen your patience. It is a way of being one with the world and to feel the stillness of it all. It is a way for you to pause even just for a couple of minutes. And by meditating, you get to harness your inner legend and be that inner legend within yourself.

      Being able to have a daily drink of your own fresh cup of happiness in the morning surely makes you the happiest person that is awake. Add a dose of positivity and it will be a perfect mix for starting your day and having a good day ahead.

      Chapter 2 - How to Discover Your Passion

      What differentiates passion from talent? Or are they similar to one another? Passion is an inspiration - a dynamism that drives you to do something while talent is inherent in a person. Passion needs rationalization and confirmation while talent only needs manifestation. Talent exists without us comprehending the why and what of its existence. Passion is what fuels or motivates talents. Passion is what gets you through in this world when talent is not enough. Doing something that is already second nature to you and adoring every minute of it would likely inspire you to achieve success than completing something difficult and uninspiring.

      So what are the steps to finding your passion in life?

      Meditate. Passion is a huge force. It is unseen when it's not propelling something forward, such as talent. Hence, passion can be more difficult to see than talent. You may have several innate skills such as drawing, singing and carving. One of these skills could be your passion in life.  It isn't easy to decipher our large number of desires and pursuits into passion or just temporary obsession. You have to think from your inner core. To be able to access your internal core, you will need to meditate. Look for a place where you can be still and be at calmness with your surroundings. Dive right down to your inner core to draw on your deepest and truest aspirations in life. Consider these questions:

      a. What's my objective in life?

      b. What occupies most of my time?

      c. What do I really like doing?

      d. If I will be given the opportunity to do one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?

      e. What would I do even if I don't get any compensation or received anything for it in return?

      f. What is it that I really do that animates me?

      g. What makes me forget everything else aside from what I am doing?

      When you can answer these questions in all honesty then you would discover important hints that will help you define your passion in life. You need to really concentrate on your inner self, before you try to answer these questions. If you're in touch with this self, you'd be able to perceive the case more clearly and answer these questions without bias.

      Create a list of what you wish to experience. Before you start your list, you should consider things which you have imagined doing but never got around to. You may not have done such things because of some factors such as - you didn't have courage to do it; you do not have the money for it; your family was against it; you were too afraid to fail hence you never even tried it or it was way beyond your comfort zone. To make this particular list though, you need to include all those things you have imagined doing without awareness of the factors which have hampered you from doing it before. Go over your list in case you might have missed out on something that had interests you before. Include everything you have dreamed of doing even if you think it's highly impractical, high-risk or vivid. Maybe it's not really your passion but who knows? While doing it, you might suddenly realize your true passion in life, that something which ignites a raging fire in you.

      Try to experience at least five of those included in your list. At the soonest possible time, you should try to experience at least ten of those that you've included in your list. Personally experiencing it will give you an inkling of what really interests you, what lights you up above all else. Passion is what makes a usually quiet person talk animatedly in regards to a particular subject; about his passion in life. You can't ever really know what drives or excites you most if you have not done a whole lot of interesting things in your life. Have a firsthand experience of the possible things that would make your adrenalin going. Take a shot and who knows? You might discover just what it is that you would wish to do for the rest of your life.

      Go beyond your comfort zone. You may be so used to your kind of life and your environment that it hampers you from finding your passion. You have not been able to try anything new which is out of your normal league or have not traveled beyond your home-to-work path. Then it's time for you to try new things which people wouldn't normally expect you to do. For instance, if you have always been convinced you are left footed, then
