Actually the pain and pleasure we life isn t real most of the time but actually just a perception. Because when you work for a specific cause and do great struggle for it, it s the thought of the results you will achieve after a great toil that gives you pleasure and keeps you on the track. While the real happiness we experience after succeed actually comes about, is for a very limited time. Because after achieving something we feel the need of moving to something new and get absorbed in it. We human beings are not rational being but emotional. When make a emotional connections with things. For instance, if a student get fails in a subject for not doing the studies. He will start disliking the subject for he linked his negative feelings with that subject. As the subject is not the reason he felt bad. But it s his irresponsible behavior that caused that sadness. Therefore when we are in an intense emotional state of happiness and sadness, we link that emotion with that state of mind. That s why if we are in an intense emotional state we should be conscious about our surrounding and of making links. Believes make the real difference Believes are real powerful and has a great importance in determining our success. It s the believe that makes or creates someone. Therefore it is essential to strengthen your good believes and shatter your bad believes. First make a list of your good believes by doing brainstorming. And then takes another page and create a list of your bad believes.
Now see the list of your bad believes and ask yourself either these believes of your are real or just something your have created in your mind. Believes like I don t look good, I don t have the ability to create good relation with people, I am dump etc. If you think reasonably you will realize that the bad believe you are having about yourself is just a perception, may be due to your past failure or may be a wrong opinion of your friend and family member. Just remember, someone s opinion about you does not have to become your reality. Now what can you do about your bad believe is to perish them. But how can you do it. You can do it by just questioning them again and again. The believes either good or bad, questioned continuously shattered finally. You just need to ask yourself that the questions you ask your self aren t they are just a perception and only doubts you have created and doesn t has any truth. Ask yourself the ideas, that I looks puzzled when speaking in public or can say ridicules things in a public therefore keep quiet, aren t they just your fear and hesitation that is cutting you short. It s the opposite you can do for your good believes by reading about the success stories of people you share well believes with. By making the life of others a practical demonstration in front of you, you can strengthen your good believes. Also learn about the other believes of successful people and use those believes for yourself. Link your pain and pleasure Use your pain and pleasure to condition yourself for success. For example, think what if you don t change now, and what it has cost you till now. Make the pain so real that it will make you take the steps you were procrastinating. Same is effecting in linking pleasure with good habits. Good habits are difficult to make, therefore it s necessary to feel pleasure when forming good habits to cancel out the pain to have for the short term while making of the habit. Suppose, If you feel really difficulty in getting out from your warm bed in the early morning. What you need to do is, link the pain to it. Think how it has being stopping you from achieving your great potential and being your best version. How it has cost you till now, how much time that you can t have back is wasted by not doing so. When you wake up after overcoming the pain, image about your success and the pleasure of getting on step close to your success. To make this new behavior permanent try to make small goals at first and reward yourself after achieving them. These rewards should be something that fulfill your urge and is more of an emotional than that of intellectual. Make sure that this new behavior allies with your beliefs and values. Also they should have the benefits of old behaviors.
Dream working exercise Now after completing this exercise we are about to reveal, your life will become meaningful. This not a very time consuming exercise.

Just avoid writing details into it and keep the flow of thoughts about your fantasy smooth.
Now allot specific time to each goal you wrote in each of your category. If it would taek 1 year write beside the goal. If it would take 5 years write 5 beside the goal and so on. It does matter if the time they require is long like 8, 10,15 or 20 years, just write it down. Now pick a single goal for 1 year form each category you wrote.
