Thanks to courage, commitment and love you will cope with everything! How to become purposeful, to find strength of mind and impetuous courage for achievement of any purposes, Dan Valdshmidt knows.

1. Keep a positive spirit, despite fear

   At first you feel pain of which reminds you fear later. The speech, of course, about mental anguish. Nobody will chop off to you a hand if you lose business or if the husband leaves you, or the friend will betray, physically you will remain whole. Treachery, losses, failures — happen. And to avoid sufferings, you are ready on everything. Therefore all of you participate in events which can do you harm more rare and less often.

   Derek's history

   Derek Redmond had every chance to win 400-meter running at the Olympic Games of 1992 in Barcelona. On the first 150 meters of semifinal race Derek promptly escaped forward, going on a new Olympic record. But suddenly sharply fell to the ground, writhing from pain. The back muscle of his hip completely came off a bone. He got up and continued a way to the finish. The father ran up to Derek: "You can not do it". "No, I have to" — Derek with tears of intolerable despair on a face answered. Twenty years later everything forgot who won this race. But millions remember strength of mind of the person who refused to give up halfway. Would be to leave competition not only it is simpler, but it is correct, logical, natural. Why he did not make it? He knew that long-term mental anguish because to him was not succeeded to achieve the dream, would be much stronger than short-term physical pain from a trauma. He did not want to live the life rest with regret pain.

   Be vulnerable. Put yourself in situation in which it is possible to feel mental anguish. Keep unshakable intention and a positive spirit, despite fear.

2. Fight to the bitter end, even having received blow under the dy

   If we want to be successful, it is necessary to do more. It is much more. To achieve something extraordinary outstanding, it is necessary to put superefforts. Here in what the key to paradox of efforts is covered: though good luck is more attractive than efforts, it is impossible to choose it. Efforts, on the contrary, are available always, at any time. Persistently move forward. Step by step. One step infinite easier whole way. Fight for the dream up to the end.

   Karl's history

   Within the last nine hours Karl looked for at an ocean floor of the coupling, a bracket and the screws necessary for end of a task. All were against its receipt. There was 1954, and Karl was Afro-American, and he wanted to get to troops of a special purpose where took only the white. At examination it faced injustice. While to all divers lowered details and tools under water in the closed linen bag, Karl's bag was empty. Its details and tools were thrown out in water and were quickly scattered on an ocean floor. To find them and it was impossible to perform a task. At least, so considered others. Passed some hours since other divers returned on a surface, but Karl continued to fight. Despite supernatural difficulties and hostility of the severe underwater world, it found forces to cope with a task. Years later, when it was asked why he so persistently fought, he simply answered: "I was not able to allow somebody to take away from me dream".

   The equilibrium state limits your ability to shine. Even do not try to reach it. Live on a limit. Be extreme in all that you do. And eventually the extreme behavior will begin to mean not your acts, but your essence. Give on purity, how many efforts you made today to achieve the dream?

3. Love desperately

   Any discussion about love in the context of success usually is genuine surprising. When you really want to change something, you go beyond habitual behavior and acts in search of something extraordinary. Believe it or not, but required "extra" — is love. Yes, love. We call it differently: kindness, sympathy, compassion, unselfishness. But, in fact, it is names same — love.

   Michael's history

   Michael was born in one of the poorest districts of Memphis in a family of addicts and alcoholics. Michael was the twelfth child in a family and was compelled to care of himself. The compassion, kindness and love completely changed his life. Tony Henderson, the father of one of Michael's friends, quite often allowed it to spend the night at them. When Tony brought the son Stephen into elite private Christian school "Brayarkrest", he took with itself(himself) and Michael and arranged it in a soccer team. Over time Michael was adopted by Tui's family, whose daughter studied together with it in one class. They paid its training at school and university. Once the foster mother told what Michael never from anybody did not hear earlier: "I love you". And he remembered these words well. In some years Michael signed the contract almost for 14 million dollars with a known soccer team. And he did not forget about those who helped it with life.

The love changes everything. Love desperately. The business. The friends. The city. The country. The planet. Love — a powerful reducer. Loving others, you restore them. Loving itself, you are restored, recover the hopes and dreams. Scientists also found direct link between love and health of immune system of an organism. The love increases ability of the person to healing of the body and mentality.
