The 10 Keys



The 10 Keys to Personal Power
Brian Tracy 



Key 1: Clarity 
"Have vision. Determine what you want to be, do or have in life. Have a sense of direction and know where you're going. If you do not have clear specific goals in life, you are doomed forever to work for others who do."
Reflection: This is trying to say that we all need goals in life. We all need to find something that we like doing. We need to set goals and accomplish them even if it takes time to actually accomplish the goals we have for ourselves. "Clarity affords focus." Focus on what you need to and get things done no matter what it takes and no matter how long it takes.

Key:2 Competence 
If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."
Reflection: Work hard to get to where you want to be in life. We all have to work hard and accomplish our goals in life.Commit to something and work hard to get to where you want to. Accomplish all your life goals you have. Set goals and achieve them. I have no idols. I admire work, dedication and competence. Ayrton Senna Work hard and you will get to where you want to be. 


Key 3: Concentration 
"Make the best of your time. Ask yourself "Is this the best use of my time?" before you start anything."
Reflection: Always concentrate on what you need to concentrate on. Get you things done. Your goals concentrate on them and achieve them. Concentrate on things that are important to you. Always make the best of your time. "What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, concentration and the will to win." Patty Berg  Focus on important things. 

Key 4: Common Sense 

  • train your mind 
  • think things through 
  • listen to your intuition 
  • learn from setbacks 
Reflection: Common Sense is good sense and sound judgment in practical matters. "It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something." Franklin D. Roosevelt  Always have common sense about everything you do. Think about what you are going to do twice before doing it. 

Key 5: Creativity
"Except the fact that every human being is a genius. The hallmark of creativity is asking questions. The people who are most creative ask the most questions." 

Key 6: consideration 
"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life." 
"Develop the people skills you need to better communicator. Take courses in listening speaking, etc." 
"If you were to learn one new word a day, within  5 years, you’ll be the best educated person in history."
Reflection: This means that think before you do something or say something. Communicate better with people  be a better person. Do what you know is best for you  “Intensely selfish people are always very decided as to what they wish. They do not waste their energies in considering the good of others.” Ouida, Wanda, Countess von Szalras.

Key 7: Consistency 
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast apurts of work." 

Be consistent in your relationship, your family, friends, your boss, your work. Be the person that people can depend upon. That if you say you'll do something you do it.."  

Reflection: Consistency is conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness. "One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest." -Maya Angelou


Key 8: Commitment 
"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commitment to yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success." 
"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."   
Reflection: Be committed to something you love doing. Stay committed to things you love doing. Set goals and stay committed to them accomplish them and make new ones everyday. I feel like if you actually stay committed to something then the thing you want will happen sooner or later.   


Key 9: Courage 
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life." 
Reflection: courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. I think that everyone should go for what they want. Everyone should set goals and accomplish them even if it takes you time. "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'" Eleanor Roosevelt Have courage to get things done that need to be done. 


Key:10 Confidence 
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again." 
Reflection: Always be confident with yourself and everything you do. If you aren't confident do thing over and over again to get confident with things or yourself. "Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy." Norman Vincent Peale Which means that you should believe in yourself in whatever you choose to decide. Be you and be confident about things. 






Reflection: These 10 keys can benefit you in many ways if you actually work on them in your life. They can help you by being a better person and how to be with when you are around other people. The key i am applying right now is confidence. To me i think that confidence takes time people wont be confident right away. I believe that once someone is confident they will always be confident about many things but some things take time and i think that all you need is time for everything. I am Working on my confidence every day so i can become confident about myself and everything i do.
