Self development is like riding a bicycle: Little hills are easy to cross if you got some momentum. If you loose too much momentum however, you need to shift down or you may even need to get off your bike and push it to the top of the hill. At the cost of some valuable time.

No matter it can be physically demanding to always keep your momentum but you reach your goals much faster if you do. Plus, it’s somewhat more pleasant to feel the fresh air pressing against you.

Unfortunately, there are neither mental pedals nor mental feet you could pedal with. So building mental momentum differs a little from building speed on a bike. But just a little.

Let’s see how building mental momentum actually works:

The year 2010 has arrived! And I feel that it will bring a lot of change. For me and for you.

So why do I think that 2010 will be a special year? It’s the number. Somehow there seems to be a symbolic value behind it that encourages people to tackle their problems and take a step towards reaching their goals. “2010″ just sounds like the perfect opportunity to me. I expect quite a lot of people to take that opportunity and do something about their lifes.

I got some plans myself. You know, I started doing all that self development stuff about half a year ago. And I already improved in many areas of my life. For me, 2010 will be the time to blow up my remaining limits. Setting me free.

It already begun. I’m adapting to the everyman sleep schedule right now. This means I’ll probably sleep only 4 hours a day from now on. Having all that extra time, I feel like it’s the perfect time to do some more changes.

Oh yeah, I’m looking forward towards all those pleasant moments of the new year that are yet to come. And you should do so as well. Start the year with a positive attitude to boost your success. And maintain that attitude.

Set the additional new year resolution of staying motivated all the year long. It’s not too late so set this resolution. Set it and let the year 2010 motivate you. The time has come to finally reach your goals.

Most people rush into self development without thinking and then they wonder why they end up worse off. They followed every piece of advice they could get. But still they completely failed. How can that be?

Is it because people are different? Does self development only work for a special kind of people? I don’t think so. But there’s one essential part that is rarely mentioned:

Successful self development needs a solid basis. It has to come from within.

Sadly, a lot of people seem to ignore that fact completely. They try to rush into self development, using any promising sounding scheme that they found anywhere on the internet. But do they ever ask themselves whether they are ready to use the scheme? Probably not. Unfortunately, even the most sophisticated scheme only works if you comply with its requirements.
