10 Keys to Personal Power

Brian Tracy

Key 1: Clarify

"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."

Clarity a key to have because it allows you focus when you have clarity. It will help you in decision making like what colleges do want to go to. It also helps determine what you want to be when you grow up. Having clarity also helps you become the boss and have control. In some situations people don't have the best ideas because they don't have a clear mind. For example, when there is a fire, but it's an electrical fire and a man throws water because he doesn't have a clear mind. Throwing water at an electrical fire will only cause more fire. I always try to have a clear mind because it's help you walk through ideas. It also helps me be more confident because if I am speaking clarity I have confidence. "Have a sense of direction and know where you're going". This quote is great because it helps you determine where and what you want to do with your life. Now that I know more about clarity I will use it to my advantage.

Key 2: Competence

"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."

Being able to be competence is great because it allows you to do your work quickly and efficiently. It will also set an example for yourself because if you work hard you'll better yourself. If you set your mind to be competence then you'll most likely be successful. If you are competence then opportunities will come to you. The opportunities will come but if you do not take advantage of it then you won't be successful. One person that I watch every time he plays is very competence. His name is Brandon Ingram. He's the forward for the Los Angeles Lakers and Brandon has the mindset of competence because in one year of being in the league he has improved drastically from 9 points to 16 points. He's competence because of he worked on his game over the off season. His coaches said that he was in the gym every day working on his game to be better. He been grinding and having that competence mindset of working hard and efficiently.
