At a recent awards gala, Keynote speaker Tom Black discussed several keys of success. The keys that stuck out to me are the ones focused on a successful mindset. My reflections on some of them are:
Be Happy Now.
Many times people say they are waiting for something before they will be happy - retirement, graduation, new car, new job, new house, marriage, divorce.... Why would one make the conscious decision to delay his/her own happiness?

Visualize your success. Meditate on it.
Think continually about what you want and how you can accomplish it.
Read inspirational material to encourage positive thinking.
You will reap what you sow. Plant positive messages to reap positive rewards.
Remember that in every adversity there is a "seed for greater growth."
It's our failures that help us find the path that works and the solution that fits. Adversity quite simply makes us stronger, if we seize the opportunity to leverage it. The Wright Brothers made over 2000 flight attempts over the course of some years before the "First Five Flights" documented in a book by the same title. Abraham Lincoln was rejected for several public and private offices before being elected President. Michael Jordan was kicked off his school's basketball team.

Offer No excuses.
When it comes to excuses, there are two types of people; those who look for a way, and those who look for way out. These are all factors you can control, or at least influence in your own life. No finger pointing, no blame game. No one to hold accountable... BUT YOU!
