To create new results in our lives, we first must change our thinking and doing. This is the first step. Personal change starts with the realization that there are better ways to do things to influence positive life outcomes. It starts with a decision to change habits and behaviors that no longer improves the quality of our lives. Making personal changes in your life takes courage and determination.

The following poem by Carl Mays; Give Me the Courage from Winning Thoughts is very inspirational:
Give me the courage to be my own person.
Give me the courage to take a stand.
Give me the courage to live for a purpose.
Give me the courage to do what I can.
Give me the courage to make a difference.
Give me the courage to know why I’m here.
Give me the courage to step out on faith.
Give me the courage to overcome fear!
Your beliefs and expectations are essential for creating a confident mind-set. Your thoughts and feelings affect your behavior. Your perspective on life determines how you see yourself and how you relate to others. You have the power to create new results in your life, regardless of past disappointments or mistakes.
