Tips to Help You Make This Your Best Year Ever - Part 4

By Ruben Gonzales 

1. The day you take complete responsibility for yourself, the day you stop making excuses, is the day you start moving to the top.
2. Believe that there is an opportunity in every challenge. Your job is to find it and to take advantage of it.
3. If it is to be it is up to you. Nobody can succeed for you. You have to make it happen. There is no one to stop you but yourself. Decide you will make it happen.
4. Take a leap of faith. Leap and the net will appear.
5. Fear is a smokescreen. Act in spite of your fear and the fear will disappear.
6. Fly with eagles, and you'll start to think, feel and act like an eagle. Hang around with turkeys, and... well, you get the picture.
7. People of integrity expect to be believed, and they're willing to let time prove them right. Be a person of your word.
8. Invest in yourself. The better you are, the better your results will be.
9. "If you're going through hell...keep going!" - Winston Churchill
10. "A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week." - General George Patton
11. It's human nature to be lazy - to want to coast. Therefore, constantly strive to improve, because he who stops being better eventually stops being good.
12. You're not finished when you are defeated. You are only finished when you quit.
13. The greatest predictor of future success is how driven and passionate you are to realize your dream. Passion is much more important than talent.
14. Have fun. You can't get passionate about anything if you are not having fun. If you are not having fun you are probably doing the wrong thing.
15. Believe that you are the master of your own destiny and that you can create your own future.
16. Focus on doing things that will improve your odds of winning. It's all about improving your odds.
17. All your actions have consequences. If you sow massively, you'll reap massively.
18. There are more opportunities today than there have ever been. If you can't make it in the U.S., you can't make it anywhere.
19. If you have an intense desire to achieve something, it is a given that you have the ability within you. Your job is to figure out how.
20. Always expect the best. We tend to get what we expect.
