One side of you actually enjoys success - and that side has a voice. It's clear as a bell, strong and beautiful, and it says, "I love getting what i want!" It's dying for exercise, so I'd like you to give it something to crow about.
Imagine you have gotten everything you ever wanted. Pick a life that feels closest to your dream of success. That is, pick whatever you'd have today if you'd never dropped the ball. Close your eyes and imagine: What does it look and feel like to have everything you want? Walk through every part of it, as if you were really there. Stay with this exercise for as long as you can - for up to five minutes - without stopping.
You're doing exactly what you always longed for. You're at your desk signing big checks, looking out over a beautiful skyline in your favorite metropolis. Or you're on stage singing like an angel in front of thousands of adoring fans. Or you're in the best research lab in the world, discovering the cure for AIDS. Or you're on the dais at the Olympic Games, the gold medal around your neck, your national anthem playing.
Don't forget to furnish your successful life with all the honors, accolades, and respect you'd have if you were completely successful at what you love. How does that feel? How bad do you want it? What will you have to do to get it?
