#1 Letting the Opinions of Others Control Your Life

• It’s not what others think, it’s what you think about yourself that counts.

• You have to do exactly what’s best for you and your life, not what’s 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 decide 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 exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.

• The best time to plant a tree is 20 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 Your Need to Be Right

• Aim for success but never give up your right to be wrong...

• If you do, you will also lose your ability to learn new things & 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 failures are the result of people making 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 realizing that the greatest part of life is made up of the little things.
