Today I read a post that got me thinking and then I came along a quote that seemed to parallel the same idea:

“Success is a state of mind.
If you want success, start thinking
of yourself as a success.”
- Dr. Joyce Brothers

Life is full of mental challenges. For some people that means school, and for others it means family troubles. For people like me it means a constant push to achieve my dreams without giving them up. There are always time contraints, babies to feed, floors to clean, and my brain to find and return to my head. But if I focus on all the things stopping me from writing (or from achieving any goal), I’ll spend more time thinking about them than on my goal.

So, I’m going to take Dr. Brothers’ advice and start thinking of myself as a success. I won’t think about what trials I may have to go through tomorrow, but instead think about the success I had today. Hopefully that will push me in the right direction.
