1. Trade the first half for the second half
Much of the first half of life is spent paying the price for later success. The greater dues you pay now, the more they compound, and the greater potential for a successful second half
2. Trade affirmation for accomplishment
Accolades fade quickly, but your accomplishments have the potential to make a positive impact on the lives of others
3. Trade financial gain for future potential
The temptation is almost always to go for the "big bucks." But seeking to have greater potential almost always leads to a higher return - including financially
4. Trade immediate pleasure for personal growth
It takes an oak tree decades to grow, but it takes a squash only weeks. Which do you want to be?
5. Trade exploration for focus.
The younger you are, the more experimenting you should do. But once you have found what you were created to do, stick with it
6. Trade quantity of life for quality of life
Your life is not a dress rehearsal. Give it your best because you will not get another chance
7. Trade security for significance
The great men and women of history were great not because of what they owned or earned, but because they gave their lives to accomplish greatness
8. Trade acceptable for excellence
If something is worth doing, either give it your best or don't do it at all
9. Trade addition for multiplication
When you invest in others, you multiply your effort - every person you assist becomes a fellow workmate
10. Trade your work for God for a walk with God
No matter how much you value your work, it cannot compare with a relationship with your Creator
(John Maxwell)
