                      The 10 Keys to Personal Power
Brian Tracy
Briantracy.com

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: You have to be clarity and know what you really want in life before someone who knows what he wants comes and do what he was set to do. Being clarity in life helps you figure what you want to do and what you want to become having a goal set for life is good for you.
Key 2: Competence
“If you commit to excellence, opportunities will always come your way. The harder you work, the better you get.”

Reflection: what this key is trying to tell you is that if you commit to excellence opportunities in life no matter the obstacle the harder and strong you’ll become at doing something. Then you won’t worry about any obstacle that comes between you you'll be sure that you will overcome anything my not giving up and trying your best.
Key 3: Concentration
“Make the best use of your time. Ask yourself “is this the best use of my time?” before you start anything.”

Reflection: This key is telling you to use your time wisely and know if it’s the right time to do it, it is good to ask yourself when is the right time to do something for you to be able to do the right thing.
Key 4: Common Sense
·        Train your mind
·        Think things through
·        Listen to your intuition
·        Learn from setbacks

Reflection: what this key is trying to tell you is to have common sense in life think the things that you do listen to others people advise and if you need help ask people for help but make common sense on the things you do.
 Key 5: Creativity
“Except the fact that every human being is a genius. The hallmark of creativity is asking questions. The people who are most creative ask the most questions.”

Reflection: What this key is trying to tell us is that you become a genius if you ask questions it makes you smarter and make you understand things better. If you don’t ask questions you won’t know the answer to whatever you are wondering.
Key 6: Consideration
“The quality of your relationships with other people will determine you 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.”

Reflection: What this key is trying to tell me is that you need to take consideration in things that happen in your life for example make wise choices and learn new things if you think that is the best way for you to be considerate.
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 is you say you’ll do something you do it.”

Reflection:
Key 8: Commitment
“No success is possible without commitment. The ability to commit yourself whole heartily is the basis of achieving all success.”
“Become totally absorbed in your work. Be totally committed.”

Reflection:
Key 9: Courage
“The fear of failure is the single greatest reason for failure in life.”

Reflection: 
Key 10: Confidence
“You only get confidence by doing things over and over again.”

Reflection: You gain confidence when you do something many times this shows you want to improve your skills because maybe you didn’t do them right the first time and you want to try it again and again to become better at it.

Over All reflection:

How these keys could benefit me is by doing each one of them and see how this could help me out in live. The key that I am applying to at this moment is key 10 and it had made a lot of difference in who I am today because being confidence is a good way of not giving up and keeping your head up high. How I will use my other keys in my life plans is going over them and always having them in mind for whenever I need something and this would help me be a good me.

Habit 1: Be Proactive
"Habit 1 is the key to unlocking all the other habits and that's why it comes first. it says, "I am the captain of my life. i can choose my attitude. I'm responsible for my own happiness. i am in the driver's seat of my destiny, not just a passenger."
Reflection: Proactive people have self-awareness and they do what they want. they control their lives the way they want it to be. they know that when they are unhappy it is because of their fault they know they are choosing the wrong choice. they also know they are the only ones that could change their own lives. they have imagination and they believe that whatever they set their mind to they can do it.
Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind
"Control your own destiny or someone else will."(Jack Welch)
Reflection: to control your own destiny is that you are the only one to know where you want to stand in life, you you dont control your life someone else that will just pressure you to do something will change your live and change they way you think things, and you want to be able to control your life without anyone telling you anything.
Habit 3: Put First Things First
"Organize and execute around priorities."
Reflection:I think this quote means that …for example if you want to become a business person or a customer service person the first priority would be to be organize, at times you have to put the things that go first like a puzzle you might start from middle but the best way would be to start from the corners and work your way in.
