This is a really great interview with James Arthur Ray. He hits on all of the major points that a person should address when trying to better one more aspects of their life. James lays out five steps to help anyone get started on the road to changing something (or things) in their life.

1. Find Inspiration
2. Specify Intentions
3. Maintain Attention
4. Be Grateful
5. Be Enthusiastic

At first glance this list looks a bit vague, but taken in context with what James says during the interview these steps are very powerful. These steps are not a magic potion that will cure all of your ailments, but they are a great set of tools to help keep you in alignment with the vision that you set for yourself.

There are certainly times when life gets tough. Sometimes you feel alone, feel like quitting, like nothing is working out for you. During these times, it is important that you recognize those feelings for what they are and let them go. Instead of focusing on the how bad, or how hard something is. Instead focus on what went right and how good things are. With a shift in perspective your day and your life can turn around in a hurry.
