\"From<\/a>
From the Universe to you!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cBelieve and act as if it were impossible to fail.\u201d
\n\u2013 Charles Kettering<\/p>\n

As of this week, I\u2019ll have been writing these articles for five years, and to celebrate, I want to share with you some of the most important things I\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n

On a recent episode of Rise UP with B. Dave Walters<\/a> I shared the ONE thing you need to do in order to be, do, or have, *anything*; why your goals aren’t manifesting, and what to do about it; how to give yourself permission to be happy and feel comfortable in your own skin, and much, much, more!<\/p>\n

Now, for our purposes here, I have some good news and some bad news.\u00a0 Some of the best and worst news you\u2019ll ever hear, actually!\u00a0 And that is this:<\/p>\n

The bad news is, you have created everything in your life that you are unhappy with.\u00a0 The good news, however, is that you<\/em> have created everything in your life that you are unhappy with\u2026which means you can create something better!<\/p>\n

The mistake people often make is falling all over themselves to blame others, and justify their own lack of achievement.\u00a0 But blaming others is quite possibly the worst habit you can form, since if you choose to believe the problem exists outside of yourself, then you are also saying the solution<\/strong> exists outside of yourself.\u00a0 It makes you a cork bouncing on the waves of fate and chance, instead of being a battleship cruising towards what you want.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pleased to report that over these last 5 years, I\u2019ve achieved many things.\u00a0 I\u2019ve become a nationally syndicated columnist, written a book, become a talk radio host, a featured convention panelist, tripled my income, and many other things.<\/p>\n

I have accomplished all of this by being clear on exactly what I want<\/a>, and knowing that it\u2019s up to me to do what it takes to make it happen.<\/p>\n

So the most important thing that I have to share with you is this: Decide who you want to be, and do what you have to do.\u00a0 Make a plan, and take action on it, no matter how small, every single day<\/em>.\u00a0 Learn to ask yourself when you wake up \u201cwhat am I going to do today to get me closer to what I want?\u201d And before you go to bed, ask yourself what you did that day, and what you intend to accomplish tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Once you form the habit of doing SOMETHING every single day to get you closer to your goals, whatever it is that you want to be, do, or have, will show up faster than you can ever possibly imagine.<\/p>\n

You are great, and I love you!

He is the winner of the \"Be the Next Beleifnet Featured Blogger\" contest for Beliefnet.com in the Hope & Inspiration category. He is also the host of Rise UP with B. Dave Walters on Party 93.4 FM out of Hudson Valley, New York, as well as a nationally syndicated columnist on the topics of spirituality and relationships for the Examiner.com. He is the author of one book, \"49 Lost Secrets of Peace, Love, and Money\". For years, friends and relatives looked to him for guidance and support during difficult times, and he realized at an early age that his purpose in life was to serve and inspire. While touring as a personal coach with a prominent rock band, he was discovered by one of the top trainers of the Anthony Robbins companies, which lead to him settling down to open and operate a Marketing, Business Services and Coaching firm in Los Angeles. Armed with an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he brings the same discipline and determination that helped him earn Black Belt rankings in Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi to all areas of study and focus. In addition to earning a degree in English from Morehouse College, he has mastered the science of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and other communication, healing, counseling and spiritual systems from all over the world. He brings his empathy, insight, and vast personal experience into all his relationships, which has lead to him being one of the most sought after Coaches in the world today. He lives in Burbank, California with his wife and two daughters.","sameAs":["http:\/\/about.me\/bdavewalters"],"url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/author\/dwalters"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1386","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/450"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1386"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1386\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1388,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1386\/revisions\/1388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1386"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1386"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/areasontosmile\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1386"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
