Ah, the power of a compliment! It can turn the most sour frown into a wide grin and literally change someone’s whole day. But a compliment doesn’t just benefit the receiver. It benefits the giver too and from a Law of Attraction standpoint it can get you one step closer to getting what you want.
The first and most obvious reason for this is that happy people are more likely to do what you want. Remember that the Universe often delivers through ordinary channels. That includes people in the world around you. Prefacing a request with a compliment greatly increases the odds that your request will be filled – service with a smile 
Another, not so obvious reason complimenting people benefits you is that it gets you in the habit of looking for the good in things. The Law of Attraction is not strictly about positive thinking but most people would agree that they want more good things in their lives. By focusing on positive things you are sending those vibes out to the Universe which responds by reflecting more positive things back to you.
Third, complimenting people sends a message to the Universe that your world is supportive and friendly. This only works when you offer genuine complements – the Universe knows when you’re faking it. Again if you send out vibes that the world is supportive and friendly you’ll get back more of the same.
Finally it reinforces that humans deserve to be complimented – including you! In fact, I make it a point to silently compliment myself after verbally complimenting someone else, saying something like, “Wow Maria what a nice compliment…you sure did make that person smile.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger started life in a tiny village of Graz in Austria . It was his father who first encouraged him to participate in some kind of sport.
However it wasn’t until the age of 15 that he first began lifting weights. But even at that early age he was decisive and positive declaring:
“I want to be the best built man in the world. Then I want to go to America and be in movies. I want to be an actor.”
And with this sort of drive and intention he became unstoppable, for after just five years of training he was declared Mr Universe – The Greatest Bodybuilder on the planet. He subsequently went on to raise the bar further constantly pushing himself to 13 more major titles. It was clear that his laser beam focus and concentration played a great part in his success and that his inner power was the key to much of his success as to his outer lifting abilities.
“I knew I was going to be a bodybuilder. It wasn’t simply that either. I would be the best bodybuilder in the world, the greatest, the best-built man.”
Through meticulous gathering of knowledge of his subject and immense passion and devotion success was always going to be his, but only because he made it for himself, no-one did it for him….he wasn’t lucky! Far from it, he created his own reality.
“I wanted more, I demanded more of myself.”
It is clear now that Arnold had tremendous belief in himself and refused to give in or waver from his goals. He knew what he wanted then went and got it, no matter what. He regularly used creative visualization produce astonishing results.
In his bodybuilding life his mind was:
“utterly dominated by Reg Park. His image was my ideal. It was fixed indelibly in my mind.”
Reg Park was another top bodybuilder whom he wished to defeat.
“The more I focused in on this image and worked and grew, the more I saw it was real and possible for me to be like him.”
Arnold had clearly discovered the power of mind over the body. He also realized realized emotional distractions and worry weakened him. These negative influences took strength away from his workouts which he hated. It came to his notice that the people surrounding him also made a difference. Negative people tended to try to stifle him not believing in his goals and focused lifestyle. He found negative people were not at ease around him until they had either pulled him down or he had won them around to his way of positive thinking.
“I remember certain people trying to put negative thoughts into my mind, trying to persuade me to slow down. But I had found the thing to which I wanted to devote my total energies and there was no stopping me.”
He was determined not to let anyone distract him no matter what. He was persistent in his efforts and held his dreams in his mind always. Arnold clearly understood the principle that: success breeds success, declaring:
“Positive Thinking can be contagious. Being surrounded by winners helps you develop into a winner.”
Arnold’s tremendous progress as a teenager continued. He continuously challenged himself through his self imposed goals and bust through many road blocks inwardly and outwardly but in short…his dream was coming true!
“I wanted that body and I didn’t care what I had to go through to get it.”
At just 18 Arnie was called up for his military national service joining the tank corp. However this put him in a difficult position as it meant he wouldn’t be allowed to compete in the junior ‘Mr Europe’ being held in Germany that year. However his determination to compete and succeed forced him to risk all and go AWOL. Naturally he took the top prize and a big trophy but also picked up a week in solitary confinement for his troubles. It seemed there was no sacrifice to great for Arnold to achieve his goals.
Next he went on to win Mr Universe in London and following this his dreams led him to the US where he immediately came across much tougher competition and initially came up short. However it didn’t take him long to assess his weaknesses and devise ways to cut them out, in short he refocused.
“I was always honest about my weak points, this helped me grow. I think it’s the key to success in everything: be honest; know where you are weak: admit it.”
So his reality check allowed him to stay in control of his goals and to adjust his plans accordingly. Doing this stopped him from becoming to inward looking ad wandering off track.
“When I see that I have certain backward attitudes, I reason them out and work to make my outlook more realistic.”
Arnold also learned a lot through observing what other successful people do and what unsuccessful people do. This down to earth approach has often given him the edge on his rivals.
“Most of the people I observed couldn’t make astonishing advances because they never had faith in themselves. They had a hazy picture of what they wanted to look like someday, but they doubted they could realize it. Ultimately they didn’t put out the kind of effort I did because they didn’t feel they had a chance to make it. And of course, starting with that premise, they didn’t.”
Over the years Arnold had developed a winning mindset and mentality. He soon realized that this could be a applied to any area of life that he wished, I short he had developed a simple mind set for success.
In bodybuilding, there are big goals like winning Mr Olympia; there are medium-term goals such as attaining your ideal weight of 245 lbs with just 5% body fat; and there are lots of short term goals like: getting to the gym, eating enough protein, doing an extra rep for each exercise and so on.
Basically what Arnold did was to take this successful approach and apply it in exactly the same way as he did in bodybuilding to other areas of his life.
“In two or three years, I had actually been able to change my body entirely. That told me something. If I had been able to change my body that much, I could also, through the same discipline and determination, change anything else I wanted. I could change my habits, my whole outlook on life.”
Arnold was actually a millionaire way before he started his career in Hollywood and in learning about business, Arnold applied the bodybuilding-template to his studies. In exactly the same way he built up his acting career slowly but surely always with the end focus in mind.
Looking back at the achievements he has made during his life it is no surprise his philosophy on life is:
“The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer,”
I strongly suggest you take a note of the tremendous success of Arnold’s life and realize that it was down to himself and the way he has used positive thinking throughout his life to achieve his goals. He wasn’t born lucky, or with anymore chance to succeed than you or I. Follow his template for success and you can also live a very fulfilling life.

Do you really want to achieve a great life? It begins with goal setting, so if you have been a goal setter, then congratulate yourself. You are part of a very small group; indeed, you are one of about 7 people out of every hundred people. However, simply goal setting won’t give you a great life.
Setting goals is great, however, goal setting is to become like the finest point on the end of an arrow. We need balance, and balance comes through life goal setting. Setting life goals is simply amazing; however, life goal setting is not something that many rich men sons do.
It is simply amazing when we look at the stats. We see that rich men sons, almost always end up in poverty, while the poor mans son ends up becoming a huge success. However, this is not always the case. It is amazing to see, because if you have not had the rich life you seek, then you have desire. This practical desire is not known by rich men sons. So, become excited, with your persistence you will achieve.
The difference between people who are content with there lives and those that are not, generally comes down to seeing further then there eyes can see. We can’t see tomorrow or yesterday. But, to stop your tomorrow from being like your yesterday, you need to think differently. Have another thought!
If someone is in the 9-5 grind, then the thought of starting a business or another career would start to take you in another direction. Life goals help us not only think like an arrow, but to find balance.
A successful life is a balanced life. We have 3 areas of our being that needs to be satisfied on more occasion than otherwise. That is mind, body, and spirit. To achieve the balance of these 3 requires focus on certain areas:
* Health
* Wealth
* Professional or Career
* Relationships
* Personal life
There are a number of goals you can set for each. Studying billionaires, we find that they often will become so focused that they will only focus on wealth or finance and professional, and then forget all about health or personal life.
Balance creates so much success. A billionaire is not the only kind of success. Success is that person who has created a vision, an ideal of who they want to be, do and have, and are working towards it.
Create your vision. When you do, these are your life goals. Life goal setting is pretty easy, and fun. It requires looking at your life, considering what you like and don’t like, and then creating a vision of your ideal life.

Success is within the reach of all of us, but most of us are not able to fully enjoy the fruits of hard work. Some do not realize their full potential and settle for what life has given them. Success is the companion of those who do not settle for less but always dream to achieve the highest. Self help can be instrumental for achieving success and help you lift yourself from the survival to success stage. All you have to do is help yourself in pursuing your goals and achieving your targets.
The first step in self help on how to achieve success is setting your goals and targets. You can attain a far greater degree of success if you have a set target and goal to achieve. Setting out a target and taking steps or actions towards your goal will make you come closer and closer to your goal every time you take a step towards it. Each of your action will result in your progress towards your goal.
Gaining knowledge about your field of activity will make you more and more confident. You should make it a point to gain some knowledge about your field everyday. Studying all publications about the field and interacting with other people in the same subject and exchanging ideas with them will help you gain more and more knowledge about the field. Knowledge and success are directly linked with each other and if you have knowledge about your field there are rare chances that you can be cheated or fail in your attempts for success.
Another major tip of self help in achieving success is to learn from your failed attempts. If you fail in any of your attempts it is not wise to quit making attempts, rather you should make failure your learning ground and analyze what went wrong. Try to correct your mistake and take another attempt and you will find that you are one step closer to your target.
Examining your thoughts and raising your thinking on the positive side of an aspect is an important aspect of self help for gaining success. Negative thoughts blow things way out of proportion and make you lose your confidence. Keeping away from negative thoughts and lifting your thinking towards the positive side of each aspect help you leap towards your goal. Take charge of your attitude and do no allow yourself to be carried away with negative vibes. Positive thoughts are said to be productive and lead to success and attaining your goals. Thinking about positive things will help you lift your spirits and gain rewards for you.
Doing what you love to do is a stepping stone for your success. If you are doing something which does not interest you, you may not be able to put in all your heart and spirit into your work and thus may not be able to achieve maximum benefits. Chances of being successful are far more in case you are doing something that you love.
Living life to your fullest at the current moment is the best self help tip for achieving success. Living in present by worrying for the future and regretting the past will do no good to you. You should live for the present and try to enjoy every moment that you have. Take time out for your family and friends and have fun in your life. Count your blessings and do not brood over your failures or shortcomings. Learn to enjoy your success but do not regret your failures, rather make it a learning ground and stepping stone for your success.
