Have you ever questioned the difference between the person living a life of mediocrity and turmoil versus a person living a life of abundance and happiness? Attitude is the real difference. It's the driving force to achieving what you want. By simply changing your attitude, you can change everything and achieve anything. This book shows you how. Start reading to begin your journey of turning hope into possibilities.

'"Achieving What You Want" does not promise unrealistic, overnight success, but rather, it will work to unravel deep-rooted notions of fear and doubt and realign your vision away from failure and toward achieving practical, attainable goals. Ultimately, it will give you wisdom, purpose, and renewed hope. You will learn how to change your way of thinking and focus on attaining the life you desired.

Here is what you will get from this book:

"Achieving What You Want" is divided into four phases that one must go through in order to achieve success: reflecting, envisioning, goal-setting, and assessing. These four phases are vital to not only move toward achieving your objectives but also to help you maintain steady progress. In order for you to develop some lifelong, positive habits, the book is based on the principle: "learn by doing." Filled with step-by-step exercises, as well as a Dream Success Guide and a Personal Goal Planner, the book will inspire you to make tough choices and provide you with insight and the tools to overcome your circumstances.

Named one of America's most influential motivational speakers and authors, Dr. Carlton N. Young has committed his life to public service, beginning with serving 20 years in the United States Marine Corps. He served courageously in not only the Vietnam War, where he was awarded the "Soldiers Medal for Heroism," but in the first Gulf War as well. After surviving the trials of combat in Vietnam, Dr. Young returned home, only to face a new battle: homelessness. Despite his dedication and service, this veteran found himself struggling to find work and stability. Today, he remains a fervent advocate of the homeless as founder and COO of The Georgia National Alliance Community Coalition for the Homeless, a community service organization based in Atlanta, Georgia, that targets the needs of the homeless. He is also the author of the book "From Home to Homeless to Success."
