Victory is not in words alone but also in actions. I know that you have been saying it but don't you think it's time to add a little action to what you have been saying.
“I want to be successful in life, I want to be the best in my career, I want to win the competition, I want to graduate with a first class, I want to be the best. I want to be a star”. That's what you have been saying but you haven't done anything about it.
Please I did not say telling yourself these positive words are bad, what I'm trying to say is that adding actions to it is better.
If you want to be successful in life, stand in front of the mirror every day and tell yourself what you want. Don't stop saying it, keep talking it and make the necessary sacrifices because nothing good comes easy. Let it be 'operation speak positive and act positive'.
