  1. MANAGE YOUR NETWORK


OF CONVERSATIONS
The conversations teens have with their
friends, classmates, teachers and family
are as important as the conversations
they have with themselves. The
conversations they hear become part of
their conversations and then become
their thoughts. Thoughts create their
reality. If your teen is having positive
conversations of hope, belief and
success, that will lead to success.
If they are having conversations about
failure, worry, fear and self-doubt,
it will lead to stress and anxiety,
which may limit their capacity for
achieving their dreams. Ensure you
speak in positive language around
them, as well as have them uplift
themselves by doing the same thing.
Finally, have your teen write down
their big dream or goal and place it by
their bed, so they see it when they
go to sleep and as soon as they wake
up. At the end of the day, ask them,
“What’s one thing you did today that’s
moving you toward your dream, goal
or purpose?”



  1. TAKE BOLD ACTION
    Achieving a dream job or living your
    purpose is a destination — destiny can
    only be achieved through taking action.
    As important as it is to dream big, so is
    taking big, bold actions. These actions
    must be translated into measurable
    goals. Be sure to set both destination
    and journey goals. Of course we have
    the end goal in mind, but it’s important
    to set milestones along the journey too.
    Encourage your teen to go for it, to
    fi ll in that application form to the
    university of their dreams, to take
    responsibility for the effort they are
    putting in, to study with 100% focus,
    make bold calls to companies they
    would love to work for. Those who sit
    on their dreams and procrastinate
    stay stuck. Teens who want success take
    action toward their dreams and goals.

  2. CELEBRATE WINS
    Each time a milestone is achieved,
    remember to celebrate, as this will
    help build confi dence, enthusiasm
    and momentum.
    The best time of year to initiate this
    is right now. Take a step outside your


door to see the power of intention
and manifestation in action. Plant
roses and they will grow, plant weeds
and they will grow. Likewise, plant
the seed of a job you want, a place
you want to work or a university you
want to get into, attend to that
thought, take the right action and it
will eventuate. Plant the seed that you
are not good enough, that you won’t
succeed and that will grow instead.
Henry Ford said it best when he
famously quoted, “Whether you think
you can, or whether you think you
can’t, you’re right.” What seed will
you plant today? What actions will
you take? What conversations will
you have? How persistent and focussed
will you be? The choice is yours —
your future is determined by you.
