1. Letting the opinions of others control your life
- It is not what others think, it is what you think about yourself that counts
- You have to do exactly what is best for you and your life, not what is best for everyone else
2. The shame of past failures
- Your past does not equal your future
- All that matters is what you do right now
3. Being indecisive about what you want
- You will never leave where you are until you decide where you would rather be
- Make a decision to figure out what you want, and then pursue it passionately
4. Procrastinating on the goals that matter to you
- There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exists, or accept the responsibility for changing them
- The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now
5. Choosing to do nothing
- You don't get to choose how you are going to die, or when
- You can only decide how you are going to live, right now
- Every day is a new chance to choose
6. You need to be right
- Aim for success, but never give up your right to be wrong
- Because when you do, you will also lose your ability to learn new things and move forward with your life
7. Running from problems that should be fixed
- Stop running!
- Face these issues, fix the problems, communicate, appreciate, forgive and LOVE the people in your life who deserve it
8. Making excuses rather than decisions
- Most long-term failure are the outcome of people who make excuses instead of decisions
9. Overlooking the positive points in your life
- What you see often depends entirely on what you are looking for
- You will have a hard time ever being happy if you are not thankful for the good things in your life right now
10. Not appreciating the present moment
- Too often we try to accomplish something big without realising that the greatest part of life is made up of the little things
(Stephen Covey)
