Being successful is a personal choice.

The epitome of success is giving a design to your life and pulling it off in a way that satisfies you.

Have you designed your life?

Are you moving toward your ideal in a way that satisfies you?

Life gives to the givers

And it takes from the takers.  

Eventually, accounts are balanced.

Are you in debt?

Financial, physical, emotional, relationships…

When your withdrawals are greater than your deposits, you experience indebtedness.

When your deposits are greater than your withdrawals, you experience abundance.

Make your deposits greater.  Before you ask a favor; before you expect someone to do something for you, deposit something of value.

Authoritis – Good disease to have

The compulsion to write all the good ideas you hear down in a journal.  

The habit made even more valuable when you reread some of what you have written at regular intervals and apply them to what challenges you have at the time.

Are you ''intexticated"

Driving while texting has been shown to be SIX times more dangerous than driving while drunk.

Save yourself and don’t hurt people.

Master your thinking

If there is one thing you must master, it’s how to use your brain.

Thinking is the favorite pastime of this computer in your head, and if you misuse it, it can be destructive.

You’re the operator.  Get help, learn how, and do the job.

You're the boss

“My life didn’t please me.  So I created a new one.” – Coco Chanel

How about you?

Jealousy

It will slowly ruin you.

It’s like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.

Write a book

When I read a book I underline or highlight the best ideas.  One book I read recently, Awareness, by Anthony De Mello,  had a LOT of lines underlined.  I wrote these words in a journal, and it took up 28 pages in my own writing.

I literally wrote that book.  They were not my words, but by writing them, they became a part of me.  

What book do you need to “write”.

Hours are perishable

So are minutes and moments.  Months and years.  Once wasted, you can’t get them back.

Use them wisely.
