We all have the right to have doubts about our task and even to abandon it occasionally; the one thing we must not do is forget it. Paulo Coelho.

Marching to the beat of your own drum, following your path is not for the faint of heart. Being out there on your own own takes:

• hard work
• discipline
• a razor sharp focus on your objective.

 On those days when you feel your spirit faltering, here are three self-empowering questions to ask yourself:

1. Is what I am doing right now moving me towards my goal?
2. What new information have I learned today?
3. What action am I taking today to increase my energy level?

 Knowing what you want to accomplish is one thing. To accomplish it is another. It is going to take everything you have got. Nothing less.

But you have always been a warrior. Why should it be any different this time?
