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."
Reflection:Being clear is very important . For example you should always be clear in what you want to do because it is one of your goals that you have . In the picture of the football the player is making it clear that he wants to score a touchdown.He is clear about his decision that he got a way from tackle and nobody couldve stopped him from scoring . This is what Brian is trying to tell us which is do what ever you want to do and make sure you have a perfect understanding of what you want to do .
Key 2: Competence
"If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get."
Key 3: Concentration
"Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “Is this the best use of my time?” before you start anything."
Concentration may be a very difficult task for certain people to complete.Being concentrated is a great thing to have brcause when you are concentrated you are stting a goal to complete the task.For example when you are concentrated on doing your homework nothing will distract you from doing it.When you arent concentrated you arent very cleared in the mind.
Key 4: Common Sense

Key 6: Consideration
"The quality of your relationships with other people will determine your success in life."
"Develop the people skills you need to become a better communicator. Take courses 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."
The definition of consideration is to carefully think about something for over a period of time very thoughtfully.His first quote that he gave to us was a great quote because he explains to us that if you want to accomplish certain goals in your life.
Key 7: Consistency
"Dependable, steady predictable work is always superior to fast spurts of work."
Be consistent in your relationships, your family, friends, your boss, your work. Be the person that people can depend upon. That if you say you’ll do something you do it.."
Reflection: The definition of being consistent means that you show conformity in the application of something, typically that which is necessary for the sake of logic, accuracy, or fairness.In other words this means that you do a certain thing almost as if it was part of your daily basis very good.For example good basketball players get payed good for several games theyve had.Great players get payed great money for the consistency in scoring and for there shooting.
Key 8: Commitment
"No success is possible without commitment . The ability to commitment to your self whole heartily is the basis of achieving success"
"Become totally absorbed in your work . Be totally committed"
Reflection:Being committed means that you are putting all of your efforts in to completing a certain task that you want to accomplish thoroughly.The first quote that was given to us explains that if you want to be successful in something you have to be committed both psychologically and physically.A perfect example of somebody whom shows commitment is Kobe Bryant . He is well known and recognized and praised for the commitment he has for the game of Basketball.As a result of his commitment and his hard work he was a world champion 5 times.
The 9th key to personal power is being courageous.What it means to be courageous means that you are willing to do something even though you know you might fail it.The quote that is given to us for courage is marvelous.He is telling us that the biggest reason that one fails in for doing something is because he is scared of not accomplishing there goal.In other words we are being told that we must be confident in order to succeed in life.
Key 10 : Confidence
"You only get confidence by doing things over and over again"
Reflection : The meaning of the word confidence means that you believe in yourself because of the way in which you have prepared for it . Being confident is a good thing , but being over-confident isn't a great thing to have.The quote given to us by Tracy Power explains to us that in order to being a confident person you must be able to do certain things in order for you to prepare yourself.
