1. Stay positive. <\/strong>
You can listen to the cynics and doubters and believe that success is impossible or you can know that with faith and an optimistic attitude all things are possible.<\/p>\n
2. When you wake up in the morning complete the following statement: <\/strong>
My purpose is_______________________.<\/p>\n
3. Take a morning walk of gratitude. <\/strong>
I call it a “thank you walk.” It will create a fertile mind ready for success.<\/p>\n
4. Instead of being disappointed about where you are…<\/strong>
…think optimistically about where you are going.<\/p>\n
5. Eat…<\/strong>
…breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.<\/p>\n
6. Remember that…<\/strong>
…adversity is not a dead-end but a detour to a better outcome.<\/p>\n
7. Focus on…<\/strong>
…learning, loving, growing and serving.<\/p>\n
8. Believe that everything happens for a reason<\/strong>.
Expect good things to come out of challenging experiences.<\/p>\n
9. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. <\/strong>
Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.<\/p>\n
10. Mentor someone…<\/strong>
…and be mentored by someone.<\/p>\n
11. Live with the 3 E’s. <\/strong>
Energy, Enthusiasm, Empathy.<\/p>\n
12. Remember…<\/strong>
…there’s no substitute for hard work.<\/p>\n
13. Zoom focus. <\/strong>
Each day when you wake up in the morning ask: “What are the three most important things I need to do today that will help me create the success I desire?” Then tune out all the distractions and focus on these actions.<\/p>\n
14. Implement the NoComplainingRule<\/a>. <\/strong>
Complaining is like vomiting. Afterwards you feel better but everyone around you feels sick.<\/p>\n
15. Read more books than you did in 2010. <\/strong>
I happen to know of a few good ones!<\/p>\n
16. Get more sleep. <\/strong>
You can’t replace sleep with a double latte.<\/p>\n
17. Focus on “Get to” vs “Have to.<\/strong>”
Each day focus on what you get to do, not what you have to do. Life is a gift not an obligation.<\/p>\n
18. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements:<\/strong>
I am thankful for __________.<\/p>\n
Today I accomplished____________.<\/p>\n
19. Smile and laugh more. <\/strong>
They are natural anti-depressants.<\/p>\n
20. Enjoy the ride. <\/strong>
You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy it.<\/p>\n
