The words we use
One of the surest way to under-achieve is to use the appropriate words.
If you read this blog, you already have attained success in some areas of your life. Maybe you have obtained a graduate degree, or obtained the job you wanted. I am fairly certain that your language concerning your success was not : "I am trying to get a degree" or "I am thinking about maybe some day applying for..."
Where ever you got success, you went for it.
Where in your life are you wanting something different? Is it the same place you have been using "trying to" and "kinda' some day, maybe" without a clear plan?
You've got your answer. Look at your areas of success and apply the same principles in the "not so successful" places.
