10 keys to personal power

Key 1: Clarity

"Have vision. Determine what you want to be, do or have in life.  Have a sense of direction and know where you’re going.  If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."

Having clarity means to have a vision of where you want to go and what you want to do in life. If you don't know how to carve the path for yourself, others will not do it for you . In order to be in control of your future, you have to start with your goals in mind. You must possess the ability to think clearly and with a degree of certainty. it also means being able to see your future and knowing what your future is going to look like. The ability to determine exactly what it is that you want to do, have or be in your life is the prerequisite for all personal and professional achievement.Clarity is the starting point of all success. Someone with no sense of where they are going will achieve very little if anything at all. When we have clarity we are able to set our goals and these goals are the goals that will take us to our success. I think an example of this would be for example, going into college without knowing what you want to study. 

Key 2 : Compentece



"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

Competence is the ability to do something successfully. If you commit to do things but sure that it is excellent so that opportunities can open up and go your way. The harder you work the better things will come to you and you will feel good things in your heart, mind, and soul. When one chooses to work hard and not be lazy it is a privilege for them to have what they have since they worked so hard to get it. Also to have competence means that you have multiple skills not just one but a little bit of everything. Lazy people should not get that privilege since they never did the hard work. It is the people who have the drive to work hard who get good things in life. This quote also means that the harder you work at doing something the better you will get at doing it. For example, if a student always cheats on homework, when it comes to the test he will score poorly. But the student who studies and works hard will get a great score on the test and a good grade in the class. In order to commit to excellence you also have to be a CTR person to guide you. another example of competence is how you apply for a job the job that you are trying to work for doesn't want a worker that only have one skill and is only good for one thing the job wants a person who has many skills and can multitask to do many things for that company or job your applying for.

Key 3 : Concentration




"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “Is this the best use of my time?” before you start anything."

Make the very best use of your time, because if you waste it on things that aren’t important, you will regret your time wasted on these things that weren’t worth it. Instead you should think, analyze,  and invert your time on something that will be productive for your future. Ask yourself if you’re really putting your time in something productive or if you’re just wasting it. concentration means that you are focused on what you need to do and complete. it also means you keep your on the prize which means to concentrate on the goal that you are trying to accomplish. your can be as little as being on time to school or get into Harvard university but to complete your goal you need to set the goal and keep your eye on the prize because in the end your accomplishment of that goal is your prize.This will lead to an A grade, and will look really good on your transcripts when applying to colleges. I will apply this key to my life by continuing to ask myself if I am making the best use of my time by doing something beneficial or something that is a waste of my time. This key is very important because time is the one thing in the world that we can never get back, so we should use every small moment as we desire.


Key 4 : Common sense

• Train your mind
• think things through
• listen to your intuition
• learn from setbacks

         common sense is something that every person needs to have in order to  succeed. somebody or a school cannot teach you everything you need to have        common sense for example do think that a school will teach you the way back home.   from where ever you are no they are not you need to have common sense and know where you are and how you got there so you can get back home. maybe a phone can give you directions on where you are and how to get back home but even with that phone you still need common sense to be able to turn on your phone, unlock the password, and know where that app is. In order to be truly successful, you need to be able to train your mind. For example if you have a bank account you   need to train your mind to stick to a budget. If you don't stick to the budget and follow through with the plan, you will be deemed to fail. You need to be able to have a mindset that allows you to thoroughly think though things. If you just make a decision without any thought it most likely wont be a good one. You won't ever make a CTW decision if you really value choosing the right. I will apply this way to my life by thinking about all my decisions and choosing the right path. One wrong decision can strongly impact my life which is why I need to cautious and train my mind.

                                          Key 5 : Creativity

"Except the fact that every human being is a genius.  The hallmark of creativity is asking questions.  The people who are most creative ask the most questions."

  creativity is a big key and skill you need to be successful. creativity is good for you because you become a person who u want to be not what your parents want you to be or what other people what you you to be. in your life you need to be creative in building your own path in what you want to be when you grow up 

    Key 6 : Consideration

"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."

"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator.  Take courses in listening, speaking, etc."

"If you were to learn one new word a day, within 5 years, you’ll be the best educated person in history."

Success can partially be affected by the relationships we hold with others. We can either make strong relationships to fill our lives with prosperity, or we don't. But not is only having relationships important, it is important to know what relationships must stay, if we have a relationship that is malicious, then it must go to prevent damage to yourself. consideration means to focus on what you want to succeed in and stick to that like Steven covey said to put big things first before other small things he made this example by using actual big rocks that said important things in life like get the college degree or stuff like that and other small pebbles that represented things like dating or something which basically means to put things like getting a college degree first and put things like dating aside and focus on what you think is best for you . No matter how we look at it, there will always be someone there to support us, and we need that support.You need to be able to maintain good relationships with people in order to make people like you.I will apply this way to my life by being nice to those around me.Being considerate of others and yourself is a great step to becoming a better person. But, there are occasions in which one's consideration must be set aside

Key # 7 consistency 

"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."

Be consistent in your relationships, your family, friends, your boss, your work.  Be the person that people can depend upon.  That if you say you’ll do something you do it.."

being consistent a really big key if you want to s

Key #8 commitment

"No success is possible without commitment.  The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."

"Become totally absorbed in your work.  Be totally committed."

I really do agree with this Key #8 by Brian Tracy because it really is essential in life.You have to be able to be committed in order for people to trust you. Commitment is the state or quality of being dedicated to cause, activity etc. For example, if you are committed to someone then you shouldn't be talking to other people the same way you are talking to them and you should do anything possible to try to make what you guys have work and not let any bad things happen nor let objects get in between you guys. You need to be dedicated in what you want and need in your life.

key 9: courage

"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life."

To have courage is to be brave and do the impossible it also means to be brave and not be scared of anything that gets in your way form doing what you want to do. To have courage mean you are willing to do anything that you desire with no fear. You are not scared of failing, you are prepared for whatever will be happening next. If you are scared to fail then you will never try to do new things and will end up not being successful. The people who are successful are the people who try new things.Courageous people are not afraid, they just face their fears.Fear and courage tend to be habits. having courage  

key 10: confidence

"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again ."

confidence is a high key if you want to succeed in life you need to have faith in yourself when you are doing big things beacuse if you are scared it is most likley that you are not going to succeed and end up failing.I have gained this confidence by performing over and over again over the course of time. When I first joined, I would get really nervous before every performance, and now I hardly even think about it.Confidence is from within. A person can call you handsome/beautiful multiple times and not affect the listener. The listener chooses what to listen to and how it will affect them. Confidence is believing in yourself, regardless of what others believe. I have confidence in myself that I can do what I have practiced to the best of my ability. Know what you can do and believe in yourself, the only person someone can gain confidence from is themselves.
