Set smaller goals. I don't mean that you should not reach for the stars, however, I do know that to get to the stars you have to first get into the atmosphere. Feeling good about yourself is a constant process. Confidence does not just happen overnight. When you look at your life goals consider breaking them up into smaller, stepping stones to the end result. This way you can have a constant flow of positive reinforcement as you achieve the steps along the journey of life.

Communicate with positive and confident people more. Positive people are not trying to pressure you. Choose or rearrange your social circle, as it directly affects your self-confidence. There is an excellent - "Lives with the cripple, learns how to limp".

Take care of your health. If you feel good, you can achieve a lot. Regular exercises develop physical strength, perseverance and increase stress resistance. Choose a healthy diet and sleep a lot. Breaks for rest and meditation, your personal time should be as usual in your daily routine as, for example, brushing your teeth. Enjoy the fact that you look good, and try to take everything from life. Others will look at you with interest and respect.

This book will help you identify effective methods designed to bring out your charismatic personality.  

Improving yourself takes time and effort. You have to be willing to make the changes and be committed to taking action rather than just reading about them.   

The next step is to follow the given steps and start understanding yourself, your environment and the factors that will drive you to passionate success.

Chapter 1 –  How to Start Your Day Right with Morning Routine

Have you ever seen the sun rise, opened your window and breathed in that breezy morning air, or even sat down for a while savoring your favorite cup of coffee down to the last drop without even worrying about anything? If not, mind you dear reader, these are just some of the simple things in life you surely missed out on.

Mornings are awesome and great. Each morning speaks of a new beginning, of a new hope and of a new you. As you start to face reality, give yourself some alone time. Take some time off from all the stuff that keep you awake at night. Take time and enjoy a daily dose of happiness.

Happiness is not measured by how hard you laugh but by how happy your heart is. Happiness, therefore, is an act of peace and an act of purity. Being able to appreciate even the smallest things in life is happiness itself.

So go see the sun rise, breath in that stunning morning air, or enjoy that cup of coffee. Whatever it is, it would surely be your own fresh cup of happiness.

Here are some simple things you should definitely try:

Say a Prayer

Prayer is the most vital way for starting your day right. When you start and end your day with a prayer, you will have a peaceful heart and a peaceful soul. Your prayer does not have to be lengthy and full of sugar coated phrases. Just pray to be thankful for another chance in life and to pray for strength to hold on through all the challenges you are currently facing and for all the challenges that are to come. Pray with an honest heart and surely you will be heard!

Work that Body

Once you’re finished mastering your spirit, why not exercise your body? Exercising is one way of keeping your body healthy and in shape. Health experts believe that there are many benefits you can gain when you exercise. Here are some: You get energized and surely you’ll shake off that lazy feeling. You will have an improved joint performance and reduced threat of arthritis. You would surely decrease the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and other risky things that pop up. Those are just some of the benefits you would get when you work that body. So, start working that body and show the world what you have benefitted from exercising.

Don’t forget to Eat

Experts say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so don’t skip breakfast. It is important because it generates the energy you need to start your day and because it is linked to many health benefits. Also, eating breakfast helps you feel less tired and helps keep you concentrated on the things you need to accomplish within the day. You may be conscious about your body which is why you may be concentrated on dieting, but you still should eat breakfast every morning.

Show that Smile 

While you say your prayers and be intimate with the Creator, why not try to smile? Aside from being thankful for another day, smiling to a new day actually helps you start your day with a good mood. It helps you feel good and ultimately makes you happy. It takes away all that stress in you and replaces it with a secured morning. So smile but don’t just smile; show the world your biggest smile!

Go Crazy

One of the best ways to have that extra special dose of happiness is listening to your favorite beat. Music helps calm your mind and helps you feel good about your day. It encourages you to be awesome and to be who you want to be. So turn the volume up, sing your heart out and shake that body to the beat of the music!

Simply You

Simple joys in life are worth more than the happiness you get from having fame and fortune. You may be rich and famous but somehow there would come a time that you won’t be happy anymore and all that fame and money would somehow cease to exist. Don’t miss out on all the things that make you happy. What matters most is how happy your heart is and how your happiness infects others.

Meditate

Meditation is a way for you to perfect peace and to lengthen your patience. It is a way of being one with the world and to feel the stillness of it all. It is a way for you to take a break even just for a couple of minutes. And by meditating, you get to harness your inner legend and be that inner legend within yourself.

Being able to have a daily drink of your own fresh cup of happiness in the morning surely makes you the happiest person that is awake. Add a dose of positivity and it will be a perfect mix for starting your day and having a great day ahead.

Chapter 2 - How to Uncover Your Passion

If you have already uncovered your talent, then it's time to discover your passion in this world. Passion is a strong feeling of excitement for something or about doing something. Unlike talent, passion can be shared. Thus, individuals who have diverse talents can have the same passion. While those who share the same interests, do not automatically have the same skills. A person can be passionate about his talent but also with other activities in his life. However, someone's talent cannot be automatically his passion. If your passion is your talent, you will have more chance of achieving your goals. There would be less stress and hassle. Doing something that is already second nature for you and adoring every minute of it would likely inspire you to have success than accomplishing something difficult and uninspiring.

So what are the steps to finding your passion in life?

Meditate. Passion is a driving force. It is unseen when it is not propelling something forward, such as talent. Hence, passion can be more difficult to see than talent. You might have several innate skills such as drawing, dancing and carving. One of these talents could be your passion in life.  It is not easy to decipher our large number of wishes and dreams into passion or just temporary obsession. You have to think from your inner core. To have the ability to access your inner core, you will need to meditate. Find a place where you can be still and be at calmness with your surroundings. Dive down to your inner core to draw on your deepest and truest aspirations in life. Ask yourself these questions:

a. What is my objective in life?

b. What occupies most of my time?

c. What do I really like doing?

d. If I will be given the opportunity to do one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?

e. What would I do even if I don't get any payment or received anything for it in return?

f. What is it that I do that animates me?

g. What makes me forget everything else except for what I am doing?

If you can answer these questions in all honesty then you would find important hints that will help you define your passion in life. You will need to really concentrate on your inner self, before you try to answer these questions. If you're in touch with this self, you would be able to understand the situation more clearly and answer these questions without bias.

Make a list of what you want to experience. Before you start your list, you should consider things that you've dreamed of doing but never got around to. You may not have done such things because of some factors such as - you didn't have courage to do it; you do not have the money for it; your family was against it; you were too afraid to fail hence you never even tried it or it was way beyond your comfort zone. In making this particular list though, you need to include everything that you have imagined doing without thought of the factors which have hampered you from doing it in the past. Look over your list in case you might have missed out on something that had interests you before. Include all you have dreamed of doing even if you think it's highly impractical, risky or vivid. Maybe it's not really your passion but who knows? While doing it, you might suddenly discover your true passion in life, that something which ignites a raging fire in you.

Make an effort to experience at least five of those included in your list. At the soonest possible time, you should try to experience at least ten of those that you've included in your list. Personally experiencing it'll give you an inkling of what really interests you, what lights you up more than anything else. Passion is what makes a usually calm person talk animatedly about a particular subject; about his passion in life. You can never really know what drives or excites you most if you haven’t done a great deal of interesting things in your life. Have a firsthand experience of the possible things that could make your adrenalin going. Have a shot and who knows? You may realize just what it is that you would wish to do for the rest of your life.

Try a new sport or take up a new hobby. You may not realize it yet because you have not tried doing it or taking it up, but your passion could be skiing or skydiving. There are many sports which
