Read these words every day, first thing in the morning when you wake up and before you go to sleep:

1. Focusing on always being perfect brings unnecessary stress in my life and can prevent me from reaching my goals. While I put so much attention, time and effort into completing one task perfectly, I may not have enough energy left for my other tasks.

2. If I allow my fear to grip me, it will forever hold my life and my family’s life hostage. I must begin to do something about it today!

3. When I am in ‘the zone’ it feels like poetry in motion.

4. When I ‘let go’ of the negative things in my life, success is around the corner.

5. Procrastination – the number one destroyer of success. If I slowly but diligently work on my tasks/goals, I will defeat this weakness of mine and build a better tomorrow.

6. Multitasking – a little is good. Too much, and the mind, emotions and physical body may become overloaded, unhealthy and dysfunctional.

7. Love should be pleasurable – what am I doing every day to maintain the pleasure in my relationship?

8. Time exposes all mediocrity. If I continue to perform at a sub-par level, I risk the chance of being mediocre in front of my peers.

9. To tame a lion, one must get into its cage. Until I get into the cage and attempt to tame my own issues—anger, fear, nasty habits, idiosyncrasies, bad attitude—I will always have a wild beast on my hands!
10. If in life I always operate with safeguards, I may never realize the depths of my true potential.
