Have singleness of purpose. Know what it is you want. Lay claim to what is yours, don’t waver, don’t doubt it, and don’t let anything stand in the way of achieving, that . Speak it into existence. Breathe the dream, walk the dream, see the dream, and live the dream. Be bold and be assertive. Boldness Achievement is jump-started by action. One cannot wait unit the time is right, one has to make  right now the time.Some opportunities that pass you by can never be regained.  There is no room for timidity. Timidity crowds out opportunity. Timidity looks at each opportunity, examines it, and then says I’ll wait until I am ready. If one wishes to be successful this can never be. Assertiveness Do not bend to the will of others. Do not let others sabotage your dream or speak obsolescence into your life or over your life.  Do not let others build an insurmountable fortress around that (resources) you need to succeed.  Know who you are, where you are going, what you need, and what is rightfully  yours. Do not accept information to the contrary. “Confidence is knowing who you are and not changing it a bit because of someone’s version of your reality is not their reality.” ― Shannon L. Alder Be a Go-Getter Never stake claim in tomorrows. You will have to step out of your box often, to get the things you need, and  take advantage of opportunities to ensure success. Many times there will be obstacles that stand in your way. There will always be the pull and weightiness of uncertainty. Waiting has never served any man. You must be a go-getter and act in the now to succeed tomorrow.               http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/assertiveness
