                 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." 

Key 2: Competence 
"If you commit to excellence, opportunity will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."
This quote is really important because it can be applied in any aspect of life, I personally have applied it during my football practices because i was committed to excellence, i would always push my self a bit more to fix any mistakes i might have done the previous game. I was determined to recognize my own mistakes and reflect on them.  

Key 3: Concentration 
"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself "Is this the best use of my time?" before you start anything." 

Key 4: Common Sense 
  • Train your mind 
  • Think things through 
  • Listen to your intuition 
  • Learn from your setbacks 

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 relationship with other people will determine your success in life."
"Develop the the people skills you need to become a better communicator. take course 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."  

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

Key 8: Commitment
"No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success."

"Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed."

Key 9: Courage
"The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life." 

Key 10: Confidence 
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again."

Reflection
It has been a long journey, but eventually it has come to an end. Previously i have been learning about the 10 keys to personal power, and after reflecting on them and acknowledging the inner meaning i can state that they have benefited me in a positive manner. These 10 keys to personal power are extremely useful, and personally i believe that Key 8: Commitment is really important because in order to unlock the others keys, a great level of commitment needs to be acquired and achieved.
