Think about what you want, not what you fear!
Read any book on success, take advice from successful people, or study your own successes, and you’ll discover that the common denominator is goal setting. In fact, the turning point in millions of lives has been the setting of a compelling goal.
We are all in the natural process of becoming - we are all constantly changing. The only thing that stands between us and the life we truly desire is choosing to become the person who can create it.
The journey begins by mastering how to steer yourself – learning how to lead your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, actions and habits in the direction of your choices. Victory in these inner areas – or mastery of Self – enables you to reach your desires, goals and dreams, and thus influence your external world.
Once you have developed self-leadership from the inside, the outside will follow. The results of your actions are the fruits of your thoughts.
So, all that needs doing is to find this inside leadership thingie, cause I think I'm well on the way with the fruity thought thingie!

All of us have to learn the art of living. And if you have the chance to meet with parents, friends and teachers who are skillful in the art of mindful living, then you can learn, and you will be able to make many people around you happy, and therefore you make yourself happy. But if you are not lucky, you cannot learn that art from your parents or from your brothers and sisters, or your friends, and you continue to be unskillful, and you make the people around you unhappy, and yourself unhappy. If we know how to look at things from that angle, we suffer much less already. That person who has caused me a lot of suffering just because he is unskillful, he didn’t know what he said, he didn’t know what he did. And we know our parents are full of love for us, they only want our happiness, but out of their unskillfulness they make us suffer so much. And we also have our love for our parents, we don’t want them to suffer, but our way of acting or reacting can make them suffer terribly. So it is not the issue of goodwill here, it is the issue of art.

Let me quote (or at the least paraphrase) the late, but ultimately very fashionable, Bertrand Russel on this one:
"It's not the goal that's important, it's the enjoying trying to achieve that goal which is what creates happiness."
