[ACADEMIC] Chapter 1: Unlock Your Potential by Brian Tracy

Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb 
Back again to me, today I post the review first chapter of the book titled "How to Get Everything You Want" by Brian Tracy

For the first chapter of this book, I really surprised because many positive quotations from writer. Example “The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled toward some great good” and Success is goals, and all else is commentary.

Brian thought that you have to life with a goal. Because the goal makes you fly like an arrow, straight and true to your target. according of him, many successful people have been asked what it is that they think most of the time. And they think those are what they want and how to get it. Brian thought that the unsuccessful people think what they want are not important of their life. Many people talk about their problems and worries and who is to blame. But successful people think that they have to try what they want, do not care about anything.

In this book, Brian reveals that effort does not betray the results. So, if you do your best, your result certainly bring it back to you. So, make it happen what you want, do it with your best and the result will reveal your effort. Many people ask to Brian why people don’t set their goal. And Brian answer there is 4 reasons why people don’t set goals.

First, most of people think that the goal is not important for their life. They don’t realize the importance of the goals. I think many importance of the goals. For example, makes our life directed, we know how to get something, and spend the time just for our goals.     

For the second, many people don’t know how to set their goals in the first time. Many people think that “Be happy” “Have a nice family” are the goals, but these are not goals at all. These are just merely fantasies that are common to everyone. The goals are so different from a wish, a goal is something clear, written and specific.

The third reason why people don’t set their goals is because of the fear of failure. Failure hurts. Many people feel it. But the successful are the one who rise again to their goal because of the pain.

And the last reason is the fear of rejection. Many people are afraid the goals are not successful. Even though if you do your best and keep your goals confidential, that can’t be hurt you.

How to unlock your potential:

1. Imagine that you have the inborn ability to achieve any goal you could ever set for yourself. What do you really want to be, have and do?

2. What are the activities that give you your greatest sense of meaning and purpose in life?

3. Look at your personal and work life today and identify how your own thinking has created your world. What should you, could you change?

4. What do you think and talk about most of the time, what you want, or what you don’t want?

5. What is the price you will have to pay to achieve the goals that are most important to you?

6. What one action should you take immediately as the result of your answers to the above questions?

That is a review from Chapter One, I hope the reader can makes your own goals with your effort. Thank you for reading. Waiting for review next chapter^^
