I particularly like # 4. I don't think people are nearly as ambitious enough. They have so many self-limiting beliefs! There's a great related quote by American author Les Brown: "Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars." Great list! I particularly like # 4.

If it will make a difference, make it a priority, and make a difference. 2) Accept what you can't change, and change what you can't accept. But don't accept much, you can change more than you think. 3) Do something about it. This one is huge!!! 4) The more we get in tune with reality the better, cuz reality always prevails! 5) Too many strong people, don't care. Too many caring people aren't strong. Be strong AND care, both are a choice. 6) Perfection never stands still - that one's not mine, but I like it. 7) Get hooked on maturing . . . in all areas of life. Maturing is a process, and a choice. WIth every individual issue in life, realize "it's a maturity thing". 8) Be aware - the key to being aware is to not get "too caught up" . . . in anything 9) Everyone has their "pursuit of happiness". Find your ingredients. What do you really need vs what you want. Know the difference and prioritize. 10) Count your blessings . . . always. And thank God every day! and I think I have a thousand more. God Bless. Ryan, since you asked, here’s my ten:

To answer your question: Write a Personal Mission Statement for your life. Look at it often, and make sure the "activities" or "jobs" you fill your life with are leading you closer to the person you want to be. Great article.
